To: Upstate_Red; Jemian You've got to be around here a while to know the tricks of the trade.
You can change the time to your time zone. The signup is GMT; I believe the default for the threads is PDT. But don't worry about that know.
You posted your thread in chat which is positive in that if you had posted in the news forum you would already be on the receiving end of nasty threats. Rule 1 is DO NOT post a vanity on your first day. Comment on existing threads; you can make your newbie status known in reply posts.
I chased off a troll earlier today who came after me with snarky comments challenging facts in a thread I started not knowing that all I was doing was reproducing the article. I ended my reply with ZOT. He came back asking what ZOT meant. He soon found out.
So my advice is read the rules, answer posts, put your personal views up in your FR home page. Some home pages are simple, others are elegant and elaborate.
Keep your real identity to yourself; there are nasty, even evil, people out there who, if you are controversial, will try to ferret you out and expose you. Remember this is a public conservative forum which has prominent national officials as members or who lurk here. Two of the most recent are radio show hosts Mark Levin and Tony Snow, now presidential press secretary. So we play for keeps around here and of necessity protect the forum and ourselves.

I have donated every quarter for the last several years.
Unfortunately, with the widespread banning of too many long-standing FReepers over the last few months, simply because they would not support the current administrations' pandering to the illegal alien invasion, this time around I am not contributing to this forums' finances this time around.
Just my view from the saddle,
