“Do not post to me”

Free Republic ^ | 8/28/07 | Admin Moderator

[Admin Moderator]

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this.

1. It's impossible for us to enforce.
2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.
3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.
4. Thick skin helps.
5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would not.

TOP 'O THE THREAD TOO YA!

[Ed Condon]

I guess my beeber wasn’t logged in. Sorry.

[NicknamedBob]

It gets a little quiet this time of night anyway.

Tax-Chick usually shows up in the morning. She has a cat named Wednesday. I accused her of being a cheapskate by having a time-share cat.

‘Face has two cats, Calvin and Hobbes. She shows up when the sun shines in her living room window and wakes her from her torpor.

I show up whenever my wife is asleep, which is often.

[NicknamedBob]

This is my cat ...

Cat, Waiting For The Sunlight

The morning sun is shining bright,
Dust motes down the hall begin to stir.
Cat is sitting patiently, with paws tucked in for warmth,
Waiting for the Sun to start its purr.

Cat knows how to speak the language of the Sun,
She hears the happy thrumming of its voice.
And lying in the sunlight while the music plays,
Unless she’s really hungry, is her choice.

Of course the dog disturbs her reveries,
Crowding in to warm like a china bull,
She gives a stare that should melt fur.
Perhaps her batteries are not quite full.

Reluctantly, she leaves her post,
With a gaze of mild regret. She’s very put upon,
The Sun winks knowingly back to her,
They’ll have a tryst in private later on.

[sionnsar]

although I did travel from Toronto to Montreal by train for Expo ‘67.

You were there too?!

[sionnsar]

We’re over here, Ed. The “Undead Thread” moves every month.
Sionnsar or ‘Face can put you on a ping list.

Yup. There's a move coming up Sunday.

[sionnsar]

Hi, all. I'm finally back, though I have a week of pings to wade through -- it has been a BUSY time!

But it's nice to be home.

[NicknamedBob]

I’m glad the night shift is on.

Now I’m going to bed. Two poems in one day has worn me out.

.

(Yeah, right.)

[tuliptree76]

Whew! Look at the dust on the Tax Table. I’m going to have to do some cleaning!

[NicknamedBob]

Just don’t use the vacuum.

[tuliptree76]

I don’t like vacuuming. But I will get out the Lemon Pledge.

[sionnsar]

I’m glad the night shift is on.

Who, me? I'm up WAY past my usual bedtime.

Celebrating the fact that I don't really have to get up until about noon tomorrow, and then only because I don't want to miss tomorrow's Puget Sound Chapter of Free Republic party / BBQ, only a month or so after the previous such event.

Rain is in the forecast, so it'll be a great Pacific Northwet get-together!

[sionnsar]

I will get out the Lemon Pledge.

Lemon Pledge? The Used-Car Salesman's Oath?

[rottndog]

Lemon Pledge...

I pledge never to drink an iced tea without a lemon wedge...

Even the Long Island kind.

[rottndog]

Especially the Long Island kind...

[sionnsar]

LOL, I think I once knew what those were. But I don't tonight.

It's way too late for me. Good night...

[Tax-chick]

Good morning! Cub Scouts are in a parade this morning, and the rest of us have to go to watch.

Republican Party picnic this afternoon. Hayrides, pony rides, games, chicken dinner.

[fanfan]

You were there too?!

Yes Sir!

You must have been pretty young then as well?

[sionnsar]

Puget Sound Chapter End of Summer BBQ FReeper Party this afternoon!

[sionnsar]

In my teens, yes. Remember the Montreal subway (had never seen one before), the hydrofoils, ugly Habitat ‘67, and seeing real live Russians — actual uniformed Soviets!
