Don’t sign off. The people harassing you are acting rudely. They have an abuse button they are supposed to push if they think you are acting intolerably. And obviously blogging pushes their buttons.

Read the blog posting rules and decide if you want to share the information from your blog on this site or not. People here are not usually rude like this. We love discussing interesting information like you posted here.

If you are addressed by a moderator, you will know it from the name addressing you.

Thanks Sara and the rest who are courteous.

I’ve been posting here for more than a year with occasional rude posters. No big deal. Generally Freepers are intelligent Americans who are concerned about the welfare of their families and the destiny of their homeland. That’s always what it has been about for me.

The Admins have already told me I was ok, since the Religion section is kind of slow. Don’t much know what all the fuss is about, but if people want me to post entire articles. I don’t care. I’ve actually tried to post/write more lengthy things and it gives me this governor limiting he length of my post, so I’m thinking, oh, excerpts it is. I’m just too lazy to go back through again and post all of the links throughout, but that’s neither here nor there.

Anyhow, I consider a moral life to be the foundation of stable families without which the State, any State, can not long survive. The very nature of homosexuality militates against that and it has done great damage to the Catholic Church, incidentally.

For those who don’t care to read what I’ve written, I’ll direct you to the old Western Canon of Moral and Spiritual Writers from which the inimitable Bishop Sheen derived a great part of his wisdom: +Boussuet, +Manning, de Maistre, Burke, +Bellarmine, +Goffine and the Prophets.

I’ve found it very interesting that in this age, people have left off ascribing God’s wrath to natural calamities. I see no reason for this other than, perhaps, that people no longer trust God’s providence as they once did. If their theodicy no longer includes natural disasters, it also seems to have abandoned man made disasters, or even the thought of condemning behavior which was considered reprehensible even by most people in educated society half a century ago.

I believe that's called "false witness," my dear.

That's like saying the cops arrested a shoplifter because they obviously don't like "shoppers."

Bloggers are fine, even if most are horrible. But that's not the problem. I say bring them on, and I can read the good ones and click off the bad ones. The good ones will get actual hits from me on their sites when I go there to get more.

But posting a teaser when the entire content could have been posted is not contributing. It is using.

If a blogger thinks he has something valuable to contribute, then let him contribute it, and not use FR as a base to post unnecessary teasers to force a redirect to an ad-ridden, and often cookie and flash-ridden, and sometimes virus-ridden site (and I am not bearing false witness here - it happens routinely).
