There should be some sort of throttle on those with high Article to Comment ratios.
If you post something, stick around to discuss it.

What we learned from MD is that the establishment GOP would rather see Democrats win than real conservatives.

The best way to stop anti-Mormon posts is to stop posting Mormon pimping articles.
just saying.

Thanks, do you perhaps have any immoral porpoises?
The last two words, were the punch line to a joke I can’t remember but, I’ve never forgotten the punch line, so use porpoises occasionally to highlight a point.

FR feels like a stripped down sportster with a souped up engine. It's all go and no show; meaningful content without the meaningless eye-candy dreck that pollutes entirely too much of the wwweb. Absolutely! FR is clean and to the point. She ain't a dressed up nag.

and that's fine....there's still SOME people who still get around with horse n buggys. Not many. Which is where FR is heading. Link me to a bulletin board that is easy to use and follow as Free republic. Think functionality, not bell and whistles.
PS:Since you post here I guess you like this horse and buggy too. Hypocrite.

To: RockinRight
However, something has changed recently. We used to allow different types of conservative viewpoints here, but lately, if youre not an Evangelical, New-Earth Creationist, Rudy-Hating, Mitt-Hating, goldbug conspiracy theorist, you dont belong here. That is entirely missing the point of what FR is intended to be. Weve become a circular firing squad, and have already killed off 80% of our own people. I hope EVERYONE.....even Jim....reads this. What goes around comes around. Running off posters with differing viewpoints has consequences.
To: republicanbred
When it comes down to it, I think everyone is in a denomination of one. Not only can’t some Mormons get along with some Catholics who in turn can’t get along with some Pentacostals but those w/in the same Synod can’t even get along w each other. When the Religion Forum can be about Love and approached w civil discourse then it will serve a purpose on FR.

To: stuck_in_new_orleans
Heres my 2 cents if anyone cares....
FR feels like s a horse n buggy in its last days. Heres why I dont donate: because I could give money out the rear and if I say just the slightest wrong word, such as what the hell is with all the Mormon bashing? theres a good chance Ill be banned.
If you want FR to survive you can convert to a new board format, add banners or KILL one of the friggin hundreds of other boards that take up space. I agree with you. This is one slow, old buggy (albeit a very important modus) in an age of fast automobiles.

I fell in love FR since I found it from a link thru Drudge during the Dan Rather Fiasco.
I would be more than happy to pay a monthly fee/yearly fee as a member. Outsiders that want to see what’s going on can either pay up (non refundable) or just read. No posting privledges if not a paid member. That would also cut out a lot of the trolling. I would hate to see FR gone. It would be like losing a part of myself.
I am now a monthly donor, but when I get home tonite I am going to make an extra donation.
God Bless You Jim and John Robinson. And Thank you!

Lurking since 1999, FReeper since 2002. Have donated from time to time.
I agree with you. I don't have a problem with a few ads on the site either. The constant fundraisers are distracting to me.
To: palmer
LOL! But Larry Ellison is the master of the universe and has an amazing yacht. Maybe if FR did not have endless daily press releases from Apple by Apple pimps, images of the newest Russian or French jet or nonsense and blog pimping then the system would not overload.
Maybe FR should just have a separate site for Apple press releases and other product pimping.

I urge everyone to donate today. Our troops are defending us overseas; FR is defending freedom here at home. FR must stay alive and active in order to expose the Elitist’s attempting to take over our freedom. The Left would love to see FR go away; we won’t let that happen!
Freepers are patriots who love their country. Thank you JimRob for giving us a home on the web!

I think what you are talking about is the massive purge that took place recently, you remember "all those third party will never work folks", there were hundreds of them, maybe a thousand or more, well they all left, they were all GOP establishment hinchman, good riddance ...

but lately, if youre not an Evangelical, New-Earth Creationist, Rudy-Hating, Mitt-Hating, goldbug conspiracy theorist, you dont belong here There are a lot of non-evangelicals and a lot of non-creationists on FR and whats a goldbug conspiracy theorist?
If you like the crossdresser and RomneyCare how conservative can you be?
My favorite threads include the science threads, sci-fi threads and the archeology threads.
