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.

I give the claim about being a vet as much credibility as the claim to being black.

Just look at all the names and insults I have had to endure on this one thread, have I returned to favor, no.

No, you started it.

If you don't like people using your posting history to expose you for the fraud you are, just remember who posted those comments.

Gang mentality?

Like when you and your buddies ganged up on christianhomeschoolmommaof3?

I’d say you’re pretty familiar with gang mentality, then, since you engaged in it so readily.

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.

Wrong again. It was about profanity even existing on FR. YOU made it about the extent of it once you got caught and exposed in your lies.

Wrong again.

You are not being attacked for defending FR.

You are being exposed as a liar and racist based on the comments you have made on this thread and others.

No kidding.....

That’s why I thought you might be interested in perusing it.

I tried to get the point across that other people read us. I tried to be nice. I still was nice when I went to bed. I really see no point with all the issues in our country why people have to see us fight among ourselves like rabid animals. It makes FR look badly IMO.

Why would you continue to attack after I left last night to draw me back in?

Why is this addressed to me? I left the converstaion last night after I was finally shown one word spelled out that did contain an actual curse word.

I don’t think anyone knew you left the conversation for that reason. Alot of people just dropped out because it was late. Did you post to that effect? If you did, I missed it.

Just so you know. I love FR. I don’t always love what every poster puts on here but that’s just the way things go. Some of those things that I don’t like are breaking FR rules and so things aren’t. As long as they aren’t breaking rules then they have every right to post things I don’t like.

I hope we will meet again on another thread where we have things that we agree upon. One thing I can agree for sure, whoever blocked FR as a hate site is not all there.

I hope you have a blessed day!

I understand. In a free society, you are going to experience things like this.

The people at FreeRepublic are exceptional when monitoring this site though.

But it's all done with member donations and volunteers, so considering all of that, they do a fantastic job.

That being said, if DU is allowed somewhere, it's only because the person making the call is a left wing extremist.

DU is full of filthy posts. And the only monitoring is looking for anyone who disagrees with their sick, leftist, liberal agendas.

I agree completely. I need a shower after visiting the DU. I love FR and think that everyone does a fantastic job on here! Not sure how my statement in #8 got so turned around but oh well it happens. It is hard to know intent on an internet forum.

I don’t have issue with people who use expletives. I just found no reason to propagate a untruth that the people on FR don’t use them. I think we have all seen them used. Most of the time the Mods get them but as shown on this thread sometimes they are missed.

While there is no place for fighting over incidentals, I will not sit back either and let a good conservative FReeper like chmo3 be attacked, lied about, and accused of being a DU troll based on the lies made up and spread about her. I will defend anyone attacked in such a manner.

The facts are on her side and are in black and white for all to see.

If you signed out, I missed it.

If you didn’t, then I didn’t know you had left for the night.

If you wish to bow out, I will honor that and not post to you any more about this topic.

DU is a sewer. On rare occasion I check there to see if they post anything that looks real bad for the liberals, and IF they do, which they usually don’t, it’s turned into a feeding frenzy with conservatives being served up as the main course, based on what if scenarios.

They post some of the most mindless, mind-numbing strings of letters going, half of which don’t actually SAY anything, but are just expletives strung together.

Actually I find it quit comforting to know that I am not the only one who think this way, sis! :)
