Nothing could be more hugh or series.
I’ve been reading this thread as time allows, and I don’t think your “conservative voice” has been silenced.
Did you notice that over 400 people have looked at the article in question that you posted?
Plus you are approaching 300 replies on this thread. You’re famous!
No offense, but the blind rage started in the original post calling to 'dump' the site and comparing the mods here to DU. We are very protective of this site.. I almost was about to go off as well when I saw that until I saw you posted it because I know you post a lot and aren't a troll..
Imagine if you frequent your favorite coffee shop, you've been going there for years, it is fun, it is where many of your friends are, you enjoy it.. and suddenly, someone barges in and starts yelling to everyone to dump the shop, saying the coffee sucks, and complaining about how the waitress makes the Cafe' Lattes. Do you think people would calmly and rationally try to converse with that person or do you think they would be protective of their coffee shop and the waitress they have known for years and try to throw the complainer out?
Look I know you are a decent person...people just dumped on you a bit because of the title. Some were kidding also. I am no expert...amused could explain it better or other posters who have been here longer-I still make rookie mistakes on ocasion, but the idea seems to be it depends on the content ...especially with editorials as to where they go on this forum...is it new or is it breaking? I think with one post, it’s possible another poster had already posted it in either blog or chat...not positive though. Don’t leave.
I’ll drink to that!
Here I am still mourning the death of my green sweater and you have to bring up purely optional accessories. It makes me want to toss my bunny jammies!!
Thanks,I did not really wish to search through...this big post.LOL
in moderation of course...(not).
Here is another perspective. FreeRepublic isn't just some news board, we are one of the most respected political news sites on the net. We get higher posts than the Washington Times, NY Post, and many other major newspapers.
Think about it like a manufacturer trying to get in to Wal Mart. Everyone wants in, only a few are worthy to play. This isn't just some forum, this is the premier Conservative political site. Are they worthy of this site?
Moderation is for sallies.
:)
Nice....
Seriously, Free Republic is a blessing to all of us...hope it keeps going well forever. People credit, Rush with getting out the conservative message, and he does. But who broke the Rathergate wide open...we were first as we often are.
Right...I’m no sally sir...lets drink immoderately...It is our duty as Americans.
Thanks Jim, I missed seeing this response in the thread until someone else pointed it out just now. My apologies...
However, I posted mine to News and someone else posted another copy to Blogger’s. Both are now in Blogger’s...
I will not wear a skirt...or a kilt. My Irish parents attempted this once for a parade...I ran away...as every non-sissy boy would. This would be the Irish equivalent of the pink bunny suit in A Christmas Story you see...life would have been very tough at PS whatever.
That's right! SOMEONE needs to help the economy!
If not us, who?
If not now, when?
I’d like to think we are all good people here, but we sure are behaving poorly today...
I was frustrated to start with. Now I’m demoralized too...
