No Pancake Bunny??? You people...
Hahaha.
Jim doesn't want all of Free Republic to turn into a giant Q vs. anti-Q war zone. He's told the FReeQs (their name for themselves, not a derogatory term I've made up) to keep the Q stuff on the Q threads.
When people insist on turning non-Q threads into Q threads then they get into trouble, and the threads often get torn down.
This appears to be what has happened to ParaOrd .45.
Another thing that is a not permitted is for anti-Q Freepers to argue against Q on the Q thread. The Q thread is treated like a Devotional Thread, where long time FR rules are that non-Catholics or non-Mormons are not supposed to go on the Catholic or Mormon (or whatever) devotional thread and post about how foolish the beliefs of that faith are.
If you follow those rules you will be fine.
If you go review the thread "AG Barr discloses ..." you can see that the Mods had to start pulling comments at #6 and had pulled about a dozen by the time the thread was locked.
You can also see that there was a lot of personal insulting being done.
The mods are not paid to referee giant he-said/ she-said disputes. If you are in one you might end up getting banned or suspended. Even if you didn't throw the first punch. Just like real life bar fights, it's best to just walk away most of the time.
Remember: Every time we post we are reminded:
: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
Posting insulting memes about other Freepers is clearly a personal attack, if you do it dozens of times in a single thread you might get suspended or banned.
This is some hard earned knowledge I am sharing to help others avoid pain and banishment.
At the end of the day this remains a private forum, and you don't have to like the rules, but you do have to follow them.
FReegards to all.
#1: Jim Robinson's forum, Jim Robinson's rules, since 1997.
#2: Do not challenge management over the rules.
#3: Do not intentionally misinterpret, misrepresent, misunderstand or try to be "cute" with the rules.
#4: Violating the rules incurs the wrath of the Mods and brings forth the Banhammer, Viking Kitties, and agents of Mod Justice.
#5: If you don't like the thread, don't read it, post on it, or pester people over it.
#6: Think it over before you post in anger.
Q posts that are on sites other than chan sites can be discussed here. That's been the rule on FR for over a year.
Personally, I think taking Q posts seriously is silly because the people who created it already admitted it was a hoax.
Para-Ord started in Canada in the 80’s, and tried to bring double stacked mags to the old warhorse. I handled a few but always though they didn’t feel right in the hand, but it was an interesting idea.
I just read the wiki page on Para-Ord, they moved to the USA, got bought by some big private equity firm that gobbles up distressed companies, and in 2015 the Para-Ord brand was zotted.
FWIW.
That was a lousy Opus.
Bye....not going to miss you
Geez. One thread that you can ignore and you get yer panties in a wad. Don’t like it? Don’t read it!
FR isn’t an airline; you don’t have to announce your departure.
Well Bye!!
What is it you hate about Q, Para-Ord.45?
Good. Now just go.
They are FReepers with a different perspective, but it’s harmless.
Don’t blow a gasket on this subject. It really makes no sense to do so.
Good riddance!
Jim made a great decision that gave lots of space to both groups.
Trust Sessions
Like WaPo, NYTs, CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, SacBee, LA Times, Boston Globe, ad nauseum?
... but CAN post tin foil hat conspiracy nonsense from 8ch. ...
No, you can't post 8chan here.
... and I'm the one whose account was deleted?
Then how did you post this thread?
You made three points and they were all false. Was that worth getting zotted?
There are plenty of other rational sites around to peruse.
Given the above, what would you do on a "rational site?" How would you even know it was a "rational site?"
That’s a “Boom” wouldn’t you agree?
Oops, sorry you can’t.
