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.

You aren’t a troll & that is a fact. This poster is just not worth your time. It has clearly shown what it is.

As for you PO.

Well you pretended to come on here and make an objective post, well it wasn't objective after all, you came just to defend your friends with no facts of your own to back up their accusations against me. So basically you're joining the lynch mob on me, so I guess it's okay when you do it, but not okay when others do. GOTCHA!

No you didn't get me. I was trying to see your points then you got snarky with me....I gave you my opinion. I said I've made friend with people I was fighting with....As you did with my friends you got snarky so I told you what I did. I was nice until you weren't. Again you showed your colors.... I was objective until you got snarky. Do you even read what you post? Nite nite yourself!.....ps stop playing the victim here as you do it poorly.

Snarky to you? Not really, you attempted to lecture me thusly....

You would do better to stop , take a breath & make friends if possible

Maybe you call that little statement part of your 'nice' package but I don't need a lecture or advice from you on what I am or am not doing on this thread. You're just defending your friends, you are obviously biased so your posts to me are no longer credible. Nite! Nite!

And don't twist my words. I referred to a completely different thread in my post then this thread. Can you read? In fact we agreed ganging up happens. I came on this thread because I saw it. I posted the truth. That I've seen swearing, name calling & in fact have done it myself. So how am I ganging up on you? You make silly statements & won't answer questions that you have made in the past. I said I don't care if you are purple. I don't care about your history. I wanted to point out threads like this are seen by others that will make FR look bad. Can you understand that????

I offered you advice but you are too dense to see that. I don’t lecture. So look like a fool, I really don’t care. Keep your nite nite to yourself. It is morning here. I said my friends are good people. You didn’t like that. Trust me they don’t need me to defend them. They were doing very well without me. I see nothing creditable about a dishonest poster or a poster who won’t answer to posts they’ve made or a poster who can’t decide what race/color they are. Keep going.....this is getting good. I may need to make some coffee.

This thread is not about name-calling, it's about the extent of how much profanity exists on FR, try reading some of it. I try to stick to the issue at hand on THIS thread and not run willy-nilly to previous threads all over FR that I've posted on the past.

If you and your fiends want to take me on, with issues you have with me on those other threads, under the framework of which those particular threads were posted, I'll be happy to oblige you, but on this thread, the subject is of FR being banned as a hate site and why, vs DU not being banned and why not. It's christian-momma who brought up the profanity issue, not I.

Okay let me see here, you tell you friend christian-momma, I'm not worth HER time, yet here you are continually posting now to me instead, with your own set of insults and accusations. So am I now worth YOUR time?

I don’t care to take you on. I don’t even know you. In fact if you didn’t get snarky we might agree on many things. That was my point. I don’t just have one group of friends either. Now would you kindly tell me what brought all of this on? Beside the use of swear words? Which depending on the nature of the thread does go on. Maybe less then other sites ... I really don’t feel like rereading this thread. I am very open minded. If you want to fight, well my horse tossed me & I have a broken tail bone so I am not going to bed as I hurt. I would rather get along then not. But that is up to you.

I don’t know are you? You were nasty to her. You have only been snarky to me.

Nasty? Says her. I was not nasty or snarky, I took exception to her comments about FR and she obviously took exception to my exception, oh well such is life. You women always take things the wrong way, but that's a whole other thread.

Sorry to hear about your tailbone, and you're right this thread is not really a big deal, in house sparring about the quality of FR and the amount of profanity on it is neither here nor there considering the bigger issues we face. But it can be helpful, just ask Little 'J'.

It's funny, the way I see it, I've been defending FR and am being attacked for it. Strange, very strange indeed. Well that's it for me, I've been going at it with you and your friends almost 8 hours now and I'm not even getting paid for this. Oi Vey!

Why do you allow anybody else to control what comes to your computer?

Thanks. I try to rescue horses from being turned in meat for France . Yes such is life....Like I said I have made friends on here with people I fought with, & would rather be friends. 8 hrs, wow. I missed that. Anyway no matter how we met I am glad we did meet. We may not agree on all things. But I hope we agree on some. We all need to just keep the fighting down here on FR IMHO & keep our fights for the important ones. Fighting among ourselves when you look at the big issues is silly. We need to stick together. Of course we will fight & disagree that is human nature. Keeping FR looking good is important. If I offended you I am sorry. Pain makes me cranky. Wouldn't it be nice we if were all were paid to fight lmao! I could save more horses.

Post 258 is an even more clear example of his racist tendencies.

You know, I thought she hit a nerve with her comment number eight, and I’m beginning to see why.

You know the saying. *Throw a rock over the fence and the dog that yelps is the one that got hit*.

If cuss words are to be shunned because it makes FR look like a hate site, what does witt think that his kind of racism makes FR look?

Since this will take quite some time, so we'll be denied your unique contributions. I speak for all of us that we're ready to make this sacrifice.

Count me in. I'll make the sacrifice....

*sigh*

I am neither a liar or a racist, very ‘christian’ of you to call me names, I’ll be sure to look at your moniker with a grain of salt from now on.

She's not lying. Your posting history exposes you for what you really are.

Busted....

No GB, you accused me of all manner of things that I am and that I’m not, now I challenge you to either back them all up or shut up and go to bed! Posting HTML

It works both ways. You've accused everyone who disagrees with you of all manner of things that we have proved with links and posts that are not true.

You have lied about all of us and owe everyone you've lied about an apology for the smear tactics and character assassination you have engaged in.

Looks like someone hit the abuse button on himself to get rid of the evidence. Unfortunately, too many people have seen it now.

FR will look like a hate site based on the kind of racism your posts display, not because for occasional profanity that is almost always deleted .
