Unofficial History of Drama in the Free State

[BonerJoe]

Michael Shanklin What happened to the other FSP page?
about an hour ago · Flag
Joel Shelton The FSP group page is coming up for me. It has over 5,000 members still.
about an hour ago ·
Seth Cohn Michael, George Donnelly deleted it as a spiteful act of childish vandalism.
about an hour ago ·
Chris Case George Donnelly was threatened to remove the page/himself as an admin or have his facebook account to be deleted by the president of the FSP.

Both George Donnelly and the FSP leadership acted childishly.

I don't blame george for deleting the page, the leadership now admins the page. They have what they want. George didn't have his facebook account deleted for maintaining the FSP for 2 years, he got what he wanted.

the FSP no longer has 11k fans, everyone loses.

Free State Project Chris, that's not accurate. George could have (a) posted content in line with the FSP's policies and goals (e.g., the FSP does not take policy positions on specific issues as it is a non profit) and used a more collaborative approach for representing the FSP's image - something on which countless volunteers have spent countless hours - or (b) removed himself as an admin without deleting the page. He did neither. His act was spiteful and childish.

George was approached kindly by the FSP leadership (of which I am not a part) and asked to stop posting things under the auspices of the FSP if those things did not match the FSP's policies and goals. He angrily refused. When the FSP leadership did not back down, he deleted the page.

Chris Case I think both parties were at fault here, the FSP could have made an Official fan page, but refused.

I know that some people didn't like what George had posted, but he did maintain the page for 2+ years...

Free State Project Unfortunately, as indicated above, George Donnelly (creator and maintainer of the former page) deleted the page today. This is the new official FSP page and I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by the deletion of the old page.

I respectfully request that those desiring to further discuss the details of the deletion contact me (Varrin Swearingen here or president at freestateproject dot org) and/or George directly as you see fit. You are also free to contact the rest of the FSP Board if you wish (info on the FSP's organization page). Under the circumstances, I'll happily share as much complete and factual information as I can on request. Unfortunately I no longer have all of the factual information regarding our exchanges due to the page deletion and George's removal of me from his friends list (and maybe deletion of posts on his wall, too?). I don't think it's appropriate to share that information here, though.

Again, I apologize from the disruption and sincerely thank all who have already 'liked' the FSP again so quickly! V-

Isn't George a Free-Keener? I thought he was one of the proud FK bloggers.

How many actors in a particular piece of drama have to actually be in NH for it to remain in this thread?

I Deleted the Free State Project Facebook Page that I Created Because I’m Not Food for Parasites

Edit to add one of the funniest things ever said on the intrawebs:

Sorry Denis, this witch ain't gonna burn.

[One two three]

Both George Donnelly and the FSP leadership acted childishly.

No offensive, he is a good guy and good activist, but it was all his fault.

this count as free state drama?

apparently some guy in NH is saying his kids were taken away from him cuz he's an "oathkeeper." and because he might or might not be abusing his wife.

I wonder why the FSP has problems getting and keeping volunteers???

Is your name from Boston Blackie?  The FSP has problems with bureaucratic leaders, because it has a bureaucracy.

[sillyperson]

I always assume it was an homage to the guy that runs Roger's Campground.

[blackie]

Blackie, cus I bring more drama than General Hospital.

Blackie Parrish was a character on General Hospital, played by John Stamos.



"Blackie is a street kid that Rick Webber took in. He was always getting into trouble with the law and with Rick's help, he straightened himself out."
