Is it time to dump Free Republic?
FR | January 28, 2009 | Me

Posted on 01/28/2009 10:46:53 AM PST by PlainOleAmerican

Repeatedly, FR moderators have moved TOP postings related to current NEWS and calls for conservative ACTIVISM from the News and Activism section, over to "blogger's and personal" which has no traffic by comparison.

I fully understand Jim Robinson's original purpose in launching FR, to provide a community in which conservatives could get TRUTH not available in the MSM, information not available in the MSM and access to fellow conservatives so that we could work together towards a conservative agenda.

Yet time after time, FR moderators bury this information over in "blogger's and personal" and kill story after story, vital to the conservative movement.

Why?

Without a change in this policy, I am through posting to FR. The moderators on FR have less sense than the moderators on DU, where they at least work to bury the opposition, instead of themselves.

What gives? Anyone understand this self-defeating policy?

First of all....link to some examples, please?

Secondly....after reading your idiotic crack about the moderators here having less sense than the moderators at Dummies Underground....please ignore my request for any response from you. Just pretend I never asked.

I’m beginning to see the problem now... How many of you are FR moderators?

Actually, most of us on this thread are a FReeper that goes by the name of UncleDaddy. So essentially, it's you, me, and Jim here so far. John might show up later.

This thread is getting circular and boring. Needs a little pep. How about:

ANYONE WHO SHOOTS A .45 INSTEAD OF A 9MM IS A GAY DARWINIST LOOSER AND ROBERT E. LEE WAS A CHILD MOLESTER.

That ought to do it.

Did you expect that your title “Is It Time To Dump Free Republic?” would get you a lot of love from the folks here?

So, what exactly is “news and activism” if not for news or activism?

Ask the mods. I'm sure they'll have a better answer than I can give.

You folks are amazing... The idiots now outnumber the grown up conservatives here.

If you want to dump FR, why don't you just log out? Would it make you feel better if 20 other anonymous people logged out with you? And you're calling me an idiot?

Here's a tip: Topics like this do nothing to achieve the desired purpose and turn into spamfests at about post #2. Stop being so emotionally invested in a website that you get your feelings hurt by it. Is this how you solve problems at work? Do you go in and talk to the boss with the door closed, or do you gather everyone in the breakroom and try to get them to walk out with you?

So you’re saying the FR DID post your article, just not were you wanted?

If you have an issue with the way Jim runs his website, you are free to leave.

The rest of us will just continue to browse by "Everything" like we have been doing. That way we see ALL the news that gets linked to here. Including your poor benighted "LOOKATMEIMAGOPPER2.blogspot.org" types.

LMAO!

All my superintendents are inside today, because the weather is pretty crappy, and they are all now laughing like crazy, and burning multiple copies of that.

THANK YOU!

Agreed. JB Williams is a good conservative fella.

But because two threads have received less than 6 replies tells us something.

That’s a boring ho-hum column.

It ain’t gonna get hits no matter where it is.

My advice to you and all other FReepers: Post less.

Who gives a rats (bleep) about many of the FReeper posts. Especially the duplicates.
