CA Parental Control Software Blocks FR as HATE site but allows DU site to go through
Computer Associates Security Center | 02/26/2010

Posted on 02/26/2010 4:03:48 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Folks and Friends at Free Republic

I just wanted to inform you that one of the computers I have at home has COMPUTER ASSOCIATES' SECURITY CENTER installed on it as part of the package I have with my recent Internet and cable service provider -- CABLEVISION.

This is the CA SECURITY CENTER VERSION 4.0.0.205

Now, everytime I try to access FR on this computer, it blocks me with the following reason :

URL: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/go-button For the following reason: based on the category Category: Hate

I have to override it by entering an administrative password to temporarily allow the FR site to go through my browser.

Out of curiosity, I tried going to the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND site and lo and behold, the CA Parental Control software ALLOWED the site with no problems.

Just wanted you people to be aware of this double standard.

Do you think that Free Republic should allow racism, hatred and curse words? What do you think should happen to FReepers who post such things?

No I am not a racist. It has to do with the fact that you are a liar. You claimed to be black and then you said “their race” when referring to black people. My brother in law is black. I have two nieces that are mulatto. One niece that is Mexican. I was in the process of adopting two black girls until they were given back to their mother. So answer the question and stop deflecting. You claimed to be black, are you?

Are you what you claimed to be in August, or what you claimed to be in December?

Are you what you claimed to be at 1:04AM EST today?

There are two things we know for sure that you are. A racist, and a liar. What else are you?

I don’t know but it would be nice if things got back to people treating each other without snarky,nasty replies. Tonight alone I’ve been on a few threads where the posters attacked women. I think we, here at FR are better then that. It makes ALL of us look bad.

FR doesn't tolerate profanity, racism or hatred, however no site is perfect, the mods can't catch everything. Of course as evidence of this thread alone, people have different interpetations on just what constitutes profanity, racism and hatred.

Liberals and O'Reilly might make the case that FR tolerates all 3 using a few examples the same way Christian momma did. Well as a rule I know they don't.

Sometimes we’re called upon to speak up about injustice. It may be racism, sexism, stolen valor, or some other injustice. Each of us has our own opportunity and obligation to speak up.

You are a liar. I never used even ONE example to make a case that FR tolerates profanity. I said the mods can’t catch everything.

Well now what does it matter what I say since I have already been branded a "LIAR".

Moderator,
I am tired of the personal attacks. Whatisthetruth has been proven to be a liar and a racist yet he continues to slander me. Was hoping someone could pay some attention to his posts. Thanks!

No just men & some women picking on a poster where it was not called for. Gang mentality IMO. I will admit & did to using *,!,etc in certain words if I get pushed hard enough. In fact one of my favorite sayings is DILLIGAF. However I have to get pushed really hard to get that one out. I think being nice to posters who go at you hits them harder then swearing. But that is just me, I try to be as nice as I can. I was taught to treat others as you would have them treat you. I try to remember that. When I can. I am no angel & never have claimed to be.

What we all need to remember is that others come here & read what we write then distort it on other sites.

Very true & I can remember quite a few threads where we have both been & were attacked for speaking the truth.

Oh that's all? I see that all the time here on FR, hell, er I mean heck, they did it to me on this thread. I've seen it done to newbies, I've seen it done to people who don't support Palin for President, I've seen it done to those who might say ANYTHING nice about Romney.

I call it lynch mob mentality, even here you have people scouring my history trying to dredge up all manner of smears and innuendo to try to discredit my arguments. Sorry that's DU-ish lite but it doesn't intimidate me in the least. Just look at all the names and insults I have had to endure on this one thread, have I returned to favor, no.

I didn't gang up on you or did I check your history. Swear words are used here. I think the mods try to get them off fast. It does none of us any good. But I myself have said I have done it. I've been called some really rude names. However I don't let keyboard warriors get to me usually. I do think that this thread is doing nobody any good. I don't care if you are purple. The people you are posting to are my friends also by the way. They don't lie, they are honest people who care about injustices. You would do better to stop , take a breath & make friends if possible. Some of my best friends on FR are people I once fought with. Go figure...

I really don't care if they are your friends and I never accused you of ganging up on me or scouring my history, I was referring to your statement about gang mentality and some of the instances when I have seen it done.

Your 'friends' are the ones calling ME names and throwing insults at me like it's candy, not vice versa, and they're scouring my history trying to find something to get me banned from the site, that's pretty DESPICABLE imo. I have FRiends on this site too so please don't lecture me on what I need to do. Nite! Nite!

Ok, now I see clearly what they saw. I was being nice to you. As for getting banned....I don't see them doing that. I am not a child that gets told nite nite either. You set yourself up for what you got. You made statements & then refused to answer what you posted. As for you PO.

The people that came to my aide were defending me against attacks that YOU started. You implied that I was a liar and a troll from DU and assigned motivations to my post that weren’t there. After they were explained to you, you continued to attack me and make excuses for your posts. You got what you deserved. You were proven to be lying and when someone brought your own posts with a profanity in it, you were proven to be a racist as well. Now you want to play the victim. Nice try.

You know what is so funny. I INVITED you to check my posting history to prove that I wasn’t a troll from the DU.
