Why are stories about Lucas Daniel Smith being yanked?

Why do these articles keep getting banned and deleted on FR?

I don't understand how this breaks any of the rules here...have our moderators been inflitrated with Progressives, Marxists?

Is FR seeing its final days?

[rxsid]

If baiting posters is in fact not allowed on FR as you say...why, then should anyone have to control their response to being baited if it's banned to begin with?
(Not every heated response is done the next second or minute...that is, giving time for the provoker to be removed (comment or profile)).

How does one get an invite to one of those? (ain’t been there or done that yet...)

I suspect in the end they’ll realize is wasn’t worth it as he is just plain incompetent.

Actually he is not incompetent. He intends to destroy America and he's doing very well. Someone got his money's worth.

I don’t have a ‘site’

I downloaded the image from the posters comment on FR, the moment it appeared...because I knew there was something very wrong with it...

NO CHILD HAS EXACTLY THE SAME FOOTPRINTS ON BOTH FEET!

The POSTER removed the image/comment as soon as I questioned it.

[SatinDoll]

You have a very good point.

But it’s not over yet. If this results in an overhaul of the Federal Government’s relationship with the States, I could honestly feel it has been worth it.

[DJ MacWoW]

why, then should anyone have to control their response to being baited if it's banned to begin with?

Because posters usually respond in kind and then hit "Abuse" after it's gone too far. By that time do you think a Mod has time to unravel an argument they didn't see happen? The best thing to happen is for adults to act like adults. Ignore those that are annoying and childish. And I never said it was easy.

[editor-surveyor]

I meant where you saved it.

. . . . Back to the thread, check out # 179.

[Thanks, SatinDoll.]

[DJ MacWoW]

Me too. If it results in smaller government and states rights restored it will have been worth it.

[Fred Nerks]

OK, understood. Over and out...it was a very upsetting experience for me. That the poster never acknowledged or apologized taught me a huge lesson.

Smith wasn't baited. That's bunk. For a good long while on that thread, I refused to address him directly and avoided attacking him. I even gave him advice on how he should have first handled the Kenyan document, which is where he got the idea for this letter to Congress. (But I didn't suggest that he mention unicorns.)

He addressed me directly with a personal attack. I responded politely. He escalated his attacks on me and others. He crossed the line not those of us who went toe-to-toe with him.

“I am just trying to understand why these keep getting deleted. A lot of people are being “unfairly” discredited by the Ozero machine...and the interview I think is important for people to read. I really can’t speak to the character of Smith but what he is uncovering is interesting.”

A friend of mine told me that folks on other blogs are talking about how any threads mentioning BO and his BC or lack there of, are being pulled. Guess the threads pulled containing the Smith article are among them.

Some may refer to me as a “birther” if they wish. Won't bother me. I am just a truth seeker and the truth is BO’s daddy was not a US citizen and NO one has actually seen BO’s BC. And I guess his being in college as a student from Indonesia doesn't mean anything either. :)

I've seen many a (initial) provocation hurled toward those who seek proof of Barry's eligibility. I learned early to use restraint and/or ignore the slurs.

Um, what in the world are you talking about? Who said Smith was baited and why did you address that to me?

[DJ MacWoW]

not those of us who went toe-to-toe with him.

And there is the problem. The "troll" pack. You and your friends are the reason that I have stopped posting on those threads. I refuse to be surrounded and bitten. On an online forum no less. See, I have choices. And being baited isn't one of them. I read and I ignore the pack. I have no interest in being sport for someone else. Been there, done that. On the Schiavo threads.

“The quickest way to stop Smith is to ignore him.”

Why stop him? Perhaps he will bring enough attention to the fact that SO MANY unanswered questions remain about the man in the White House! Buy the way, have you ever even seen a yearbook picture of Obama from Columbia or Harvard? How about an article he wrote for the Harvard Law Review?

It's hard. I walk away from the computer if I have to.
