I think the objection to your post was that it was too long.
***There is nothing in the rules about posts that are too long. Like I said, if a mod likes what it says, it stays. If not, it goes, for similar excuses as you have found.
If it was painful to read all that data, shouldn’t they have done something about the blog pimp who generated all that?
Could the states not sue the Federal government, and force them to enforce the law? How can the President say, “We will not longer enforce the law?”
It had nothing to do with that. Another poster complained via Abuse and your post was large enough to make it difficult to scroll past it. Hence it was removed.
Thanks for addressing that. Is it in the rules that a post is supposed to be a certain length?
Do the mods do anything about blog pimps? When is a blog pimp a blog pimp?
Don't axe me, I'm just a street vendor around here.
It’s a judgement call. The poster in question does respond often to threads other than his own. We generally zot the ones who only post from their blogs and add nothing else, or get overly-snotty to other posters.
#1: no, states may not exclude from their borders anyone whom the federal government has - legally under federal law - permitted into the country.
The problem is that the federal government has abdicated its component of this principle, leading to...
#2: AZ tried to duplicate and enforce federal law on the matter, which (see #1) it lacks power to.
#3: Practical duplication of #2.
The federal government being empowered with a monopoly on naturalization & visas, and being obligated to defend borders, the abdication of said powers & obligations creates a terrible problem for those whom the Constitution relieves of a natural right thereto. AZ had best rediscover Writ Of Mandamus and/or State Militias[1].
[1] - and I don’t mean those camouflage-wearing traffic cops some states call a “militia”. They’d be wise to discover the gaping hole in US Code 922(o).
Another poster complained via Abuse and your post was large enough to make it difficult to scroll past it. Hence it was removed.
***Then what are the admin moderator’s guidelines? Someone else went to all the trouble of posting an entire thread about “giant catholic” posts:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2899075/posts
Those posts typically have quite a few pictures and are even harder to scroll through.
If it is enough to call “abuse” via the abuse button, then some clarity would be in order from the moderator. Otherwise, the obvious issue of FReepers hitting the abuse button because they don’t like what is being said is the real issue, not the length of the post.
