Is it time to dump Free Republic?
FR | January 28, 2009 | Me

Posted on 01/28/2009 10:46:53 AM PST by PlainOleAmerican

Repeatedly, FR moderators have moved TOP postings related to current NEWS and calls for conservative ACTIVISM from the News and Activism section, over to "blogger's and personal" which has no traffic by comparison.

I fully understand Jim Robinson's original purpose in launching FR, to provide a community in which conservatives could get TRUTH not available in the MSM, information not available in the MSM and access to fellow conservatives so that we could work together towards a conservative agenda.

Yet time after time, FR moderators bury this information over in "blogger's and personal" and kill story after story, vital to the conservative movement.

Why?

Without a change in this policy, I am through posting to FR. The moderators on FR have less sense than the moderators on DU, where they at least work to bury the opposition, instead of themselves.

What gives? Anyone understand this self-defeating policy?

No! It is a private site. How hard is it to get the word out to check the blogs and personals?

Yes, it will be a constant informing. Still this has more traffic than many, many others and well worth staying here. It is the best IMO!

Get over yourself. No, you do not make the rules, nor do I, as it should be.

If you dump FR, where you gonna go? And if you do make sure you write a soaring opus the mods can place in chat.

It’s OK, i won’t be pissed if you were to quit FR. I don’t really like thin-skinned sissy whiners anyway.

I assumed this was it.

You're talking all wrong about the FR Moderators.

It's the wrong tone.

You have NO idea how much crap they have to wade through.

Um... Click the “everything” link and look at latest posts.

Free Republic is still the best source for news. It has been since I signed up.

Have you donated yet this quarter?

Let’s look at it like this...

If you come here to troll your own website, whether you got somethin to say or not, it should be over in bloggers and personal... You folks who come in here and post your own action, it is irritating to some because we don’t feel we have to read the fine print in an articles header. We come here for reputable news and it’s discourse.

Become famous and reputable... Then your stuff will be left up with the big guys...

I bet they’re incoherent Orly Taitz posts.

MMMMhmmm.

He should have posted the title alone then linked to his blog for the rest, then posted it in the sidebar.

NO. It is my lifeline to other conservatives.

But then maybe you don’t belong here.
