[Vanity] Free Republic Vanity Entiquette

[Peter ODonnell]

Can I post a vanity thread about vanity threads that discuss vanity threads, or have we achieved equilibrium?

[Celtic Conservative]

I post vanities about cats and firearms. Both are big draws on FR. Besides, FR has a social function too. It always has.

I’m sorry we have to use the word vanity.

Posting from the biased media is seen as fine, but posting our conservative opinions is just “vanity.” But we are used to revering the media so that is how we still function.

There are many different kinds of “vanity” posts. Some bring us closer to our fellow humans, and some provide real help and support.

I received so many supportive posts to my thread while my cat was very sick and then died a week ago. It made that dark week bearable. I even donated double to FR in the memory of my kitty and for all the FReepers who were true friends to me at that time.

I’m grateful we aren’t just railing at mainstream media articles like an impotent, caged bear.

Like I said, I value FR peoples opinions over most of the press. Vanity threads can be awesome or in a pinch serve as actual news stories when a freeper is posting about a personal experience. Like attending the RNC as a delegate for example.

I would entreaty, with some small amount of entropy, you to properly speil Entiquette.

Although I luv me sumb Entenmann’s ...

Yes, the ruthless, biased media are “sourced,” whereas our opinions and pleas for help are not, hence ours are “vanities” for lack of a better word.

You are gracious and very thoughtful because you are a loyal donor and supporter of Free Republic and you have never abused “vanities,” whereas a notorious few do so regularly until they’re stopped.

[onyx]

Like every other privilege, some people will take advantage and abuse the privilege by posting stupid, inane, poorly written vanities as though Free Republic were their own personal forum, and of course, those people are not donors either.

Yes, I do have a kitty and guns :)

[publius911]

May I add ALWAYS PING THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Thanks

No.
Thank you.

Can you kindly provide the source of that obligation, and the source of its authority?

Hey, everybody. I’m looking for a vanity thread about Megyn Kelly’s dress. Oh, never mind—found one.
