I don't even know what all that horse manure means, but then I'm new here.
When I click on my Free Republic link the page that comes up is "Latest Posts", which includes all the latest posts to all the latest threads (and occasionally an ancient one), and I scroll down and check in on whatever thread titles interest me. A couple of refreshes later and there aren't many threads I miss. I couldn't care less what category people put a thread in, or what category some moderator moved a thread to. Big deal. It's totally irrelevant to me.
Dump Free Republic? Maybe you should dump the rest of your LSD down the toilet.
I don’t remember the number...something to the effect that the two posts were not moved-one was originally in blog or chat. I’ll see if I can find it...anyone else remember which post number it was?
They need to improve their product then. I don't believe that this site is in the business of marketing other's sites. If they don't have the respected authority they want, they need to work on it, not blame someone else. For example, that Canada Free Press site you posted, I am browsing that, and while it has some decent articles, it is pretty amateurish in the way it is put together. The writers also need to put a little more attention into improving small things like grammar and spelling. There are tens of thousands, if not millions of similar sites out there, they should make themselves stand out, not demand others respect them. There are also several blogs and other non-traditional sources that have become well respected. Think about HotAir, PatriotPost, AtlasShrugged, PajamasMedia, Townhall- all sites that are essentially blogs but have done the work to make themselves stand out. Townhall even has become so powerful, it is the most respected Conservative magazine and their authors have become famous commentators (for example, MaryKatherine Ham and S.E. Cupp). They did this by producing content that people respected, not just throwing content out there and demand that people respect.
I would even go so far as to say, if I saw a source pull what they say they do with you, write and complain they aren't respected, it would completely discredit them in my mind... I would not trust them as a source.
lol, I saw your post after I posted.
Please see post #261.
My advice: Lighten up a bit and enjoy. Not everything is perfect here, so hang around and try to add to things where you can.
Hint: Buy asbestos undies if you want to start another thread like this.
1rudeboy is good people...I was only joking.
Come on... You and a couple others have been very kind and helpful. But most have played tough guy behind the keyboard and lashed out in blind rage without ever even considering the possibility that there might be a real point to all of this...
You want to pin their behavior on me now, just because I won’t tolerate such crap?
Please... I had a much higher opinion of Freeper’s before today. I guess it took this discussion to meet the real Freeper...
you said “Sorry, which post from Jim?”
Didn’t you see that Jim Robinson replied to you? It was post #142
Capiche!
In the age of blogs, there are millions of voices on the internet. Do you want EVERYONE who thinks they are the next Michelle Malkin to post their own Front Page News thread? As another poster noted, quality writing, by its own merit, both floats to the top of the heap and gets people looking for columns by that author.
This one, I like...
Well please donate to FR before ya walk away.
Look at the bottom of any reply to you.
See the "Private Reply"?
I'll send you one so that you will see the "You have mail" at the top of the page.
So then I looked for forum for such a discussion and ended up here...
From the title of the thread, you weren't looking for a discussion, or an answer. You were looking to air a grievance.
I am not a professional freeper.
You mean I could be getting PAID to do this?
Maybe I'm the newbie. lol
The heading was intended to draw a discussion. I did not know it would draw blind rage...
If you've been here over three years you should have known that the title would be inflammatory to a majority of posters here.
Once again, the choice is yours.
Another addition to the accidental lexicon of FR - could end up right along stuned beeber. Don't take that the wrong way - some of the funniest stuff on FR is accidental, and it's best when the creator can laugh at himself for doing it and take the ribbing. Lord knows I've done a few of those in my ten years here.
I have already stated that I am not familiar with the many tricks of this trade... I know little more than how to cut-n-paste a column...
The 'entitlement' crowd never puts in. (sigh)
Read your comment here again....
The borg assimilated JR! Run for your lives!
It is done so as to irritate you.
