Obituaries for 2025

I never visited TOS, and am only aware that there were quite a few disgruntled members.

May God comfort his family and may he rest in peace.

@libertybele how did you find TBR since you weren't from FR?

Check out my post here: https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php?topic=572005.msg3235104#msg3235104

I actually did a search for "conservative message board" or something similar. I didn't learn about TBR at FR.

RIP Mr. Robinson.  His biggest mistake was not allowing dissent among of Conservatives in '16.  Was there 16 years,  and was gobsmacked many of us were muzzled for what was  reasonable counter and thought.  It will be interesting to see  what TOS does after his passing.

That was the reason I left, combined with the raging anti-Catholicism.

   I left because like Rush and Levin and finally Beck gave Trump a BJ.

@mystery-ak   Well, if the truth be known, I was kicked out of another forum and forbidden to ever be allowed back, all  because they didn't want to face the truth as to what was happening and they decided I was too much 'doom and gloom' (@Wingnut  has pointed that out  here a couple of times) ... so long story short I did a search for conservative forum,  that was back awhile and at that time this forum came up and it was rated as a popular conservative forum.   So I checked it out for awhile and decided to join. Lol ...   besides my 'doom and gloom' outlook on some issues, you haven't kicked me out yet, so I've stayed.   

It was really a pretty small forum and they did me a favor by locking me out ....this is by far the best forum around. I sincerely mean it.  You have created quite a forum like none other and you put a lot of time and effort keeping us and all the visitors we get informed.  Thank you for all of your hard work!!

   Nobody gave me an Invite to TBR when I was a miserable Freeper, I was such an insignificant player.  It was @pookie18 Brilliance that brung me to my new home.

It's a crying damned shame what Jim allowed to happen to FR. It was my home away from home for a very long time. I once loved the place.

Same here.  Felt betrayal for the countless spent there.

We who have a history with FR could go on for days about the subject, but probably shouldn't hijack the obits thread. I think there's a separate thread going on the late JR. I'll post some thoughts there.

I will assure you that it wasn't confined to Catholics @verga Elsie and his ilk were equal opportunity.

I got a number of timeouts for pissing on that parade.

Bob Trumpy, an original Bengal who blazed the trail for modern game-breaking tight ends before his unmistakable tell-it-like-it-is baritone became one of the nation's most recognizable voices, has died. He was 80.

You weren't the only one @bigheadfred and you have no idea about the internal fights that occured over that BS.

[Lando Lincoln]

You weren't the only one @bigheadfred and you have no idea about the internal fights that occured over that BS.

And that internecine bickering forever killed FR’s unrealized potential.

The Catholic Caucus posts were often insulting to non-Catholics and non-Catholics were not allowed to respond to the posts if they were posted as "Catholic Caucus".

This contributed to the anti-Catholic sentiment over there.

Myself, I'd just repost the 'caucus' articles in the open forum for open comment. Problem solved.

Setting up "Caucus Threads" like that damage a Forum in the long-term, which is why we stopped allowing that years ago.  We tried it, didn't like it!
