Who do you specifically have in mind?

[cripplecreek]

But (more and more) you read some of the dumbest crap here...and then see a coterie of nitwits chiming in with their agreement.

I agree.

[GQuagmire]

That is up to Mr. Robinson. Not you

[OSHA]

A purge? Reeducation? Beatings and torture?

[mnehring]

I bet you will volunteer to write the litmus test won’t ya?

[oblomov]

What non-conservative expression are you responding to?

[edcoil]

“you read some of the dumbest crap here..”

This thread as an example.

Everyone out of his sand box, your not playing the game to his rules.

Looks like Jim took his advice. The irony is delicious.

The FReepathon has gone from a one week event to a 3 to 5 week event. I don't think FR will survive another purge.

We used to tolerate minor differences of opinion with the knowledge that on the vast majority of issues, we still agreed. The threads here used to be a vast resource for learning, but of late they have become shouting matches with little or no intellectual exchange. I rarely read the threads anymore. It seems tragic to me that we want to run off everyone who doesn't meet our own narrow definition of 'conservative,' so that we can maintain our purity of thought.

...the messages contained in many of them reflect a mindset that IMHO has no place here...

That is Jim Robinson's call, not yours, and certainly not mine.

Your account is now banned or suspended. Maybe it was because of a stupid post?

Speaking of dumb threads, here’s one:

Okay... here is the first ‘Me Too’ on this thread...

The many ‘Me Too’s’ have detracted from the significance of this site. I will read the first twenty or so responses and then it is on to the next topic unless there are some insightful posts... If I see many responses on a hot topic, I will go to the last page and see if it has anything worth backing up on, usually not...

I also skip to the next topic if I see UTUBE or DIGG in the topic thread.

In other words: “What this town needs is a good enema”?

[CE2949BB]

Oh, goody! A purge!

[WalterSkinner]

..recently, we have been deluged by re-treads,trolls and political operatives, some from the campaigns

There is another group of noobs who think that FR is a chat room and are compelled to post vanity after vanity because they have all these "feelings" that they must share with the world...

[Born Conservative]

I suppose you are talking about one of your vanity posts: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2125794/posts

I reviewed your recent posts. One liners are your specialty. Drooling comments seem to be a serious hobby. This place would be so interesting if everyone were like you, eh? Let’s start a cult, okay?
