If I give LP a quarter or so, will they go out and buy themselves a life? From their FAQ:
What is the "Biker Bar" category for, and why does it have a "warning" message at the top?
The "Biker Bar" category was initially established for Free Republic topics which attracted a crowd of people that were predominantly interested in discussing only Free Republic.
Later, because comments made there tended to be of high volume crowding out the comment listings, we began screening those comments from the "Latest Comments" page as it was deemed beneficial to the rest of the forum's topics (which we are most interested in promoting).
Later still, because other topics not directly related to FR were emerging there, we renamed it to "Biker Bar", and added the "Caution" message and a reminder of our disclaimer, and adopted a reduced set of rules for that section.
A small amount of content within the "Biker Bar" section can be very insulting and abrasive. Many of the people posting there are already familiar with each other from times and places long before this forum existed. Some have unresolved questions and issues related to past events and other organizations, and that area has been set aside for them to discuss their particular issues. Since those issues generally have a very narrow base of interested members, it is set apart from the rest of the forum so that those interested in it can visit it, and those that are not can easily ignore it.
Yes, I can say it now. I am out of the closet. I am a JimRobBot. I am re-donating the same $$ I did last weekend. Keep up the good work!

, now are very much in their realm, posting happily with no restrictions on "LP". Some people clearly prefer a "no restrictions" kind of site. Not me -- without exception I find the "total freedom" forums on the net to be overrun with yahoos (not to be confused with "Yahoo!"). It only takes a few immature twits with foul manners and/or empty heads and/or emotional problems to send the signal-to-noise ratio down into the cellar.
Three cheers for responsible moderation.
To: Jim Robinson
It did tun out to be fun..for those of us that don't have to mind the store.Thank you Jim Robinson.This is THE best site.

You've got a problem. There is a widespread perception of bias in the Moderation at FR. And yet, I'd bet decent sums of money that everyone would disagree about which way the "obvious" bias went.
For example, on the evolution-versus-creationism threads, it seems that the evolutionists perceive a moderator bias in favor of the creationists -- and the creationists perceive a moderator bias in favor of the evolutionists...
As Linda Ellerbee once wrote about a TV news segment she had done on a controversial issue, "I knew I had done a balanced job by the way I got an equal amount of hate mail from both sides."

How bout just for 'fun'? You know, since there is so much dirty laundry sired out already, I have to say that someone banned my brother on his first post on FR. When I tried to plea his case, the admin Moderaotr freepmailed me back, the equivalent of "tough luck, his post was racist."
It turned out to be the first article posted on FR about the Illegal Immigrant Rights Rally in DC, a topic that has had more than a few dozen articles posted about it since. My brother heard direct from the horse's mouth, a Commie recruiter on his campus, and posted the article with a big "heads up to what's down the road" warning to give the people his brother spends way to much time on the net talking politics with. He was banned in like 25 minutes. You really pissed him off, and set me back after months of trying to get him to think through politics in a clear manner. And I haven't really been able to get him to think about politics since. My final point, Someone banned him for fun.

Hey, most of them have complained mightily about the way we run this joint. From reading that long, histrionic LP thread (thanks, now I need a shower), it seems to me that the major source of their outrage is that anyone would be so foolish as to dare run this site differently from the way *they* think it should be run... (and that any of us "misguided" posters would be so blind as to prefer it here instead of over there.)

Good morning,lorrainer!

Aw, you remember me :) I think this place is the same cornucopia it ever was except it is even funnier. There is some top-notch comedy on them there threads. I forward links to my coworkers and they always open them because they know there is going to be some guffaw-inspiring material there.

Hi, MEG! Good to see you!
