I doubt that he meant that “hey post whatever, but no one is allowed to comment”.
You post this stuff multiple times a week, and have some bizarre expectation that no one is allowed to say anything but tow whatever line you push.
From whatever I see of the postings for any other platform, people have no issues with people airing contrary positions or viewpoints. Only you seem to have requested nothing but nods of agreement.
If you want no contrary viewpoint, then get a blog as this is NOT YOUR FORUM. If Jim Rob wants to say without equivocation that even if you find what you post off-base, you cannot say so, then that’s what he should say period.
The issue has NEVER been about contrary views or comments and you know it. Those are always allowed. It has to do with personal attacks, insults, and name calling which Flintsilver7 started his first comments in this discussion and you eagerly validated when he questioned my motives and sanity in thinly veiled ad hominem slurs and your continued discussions about me.
Calling Mac users "cultists" and deliberately denigrating people interested in these threads is doing exactly what Jim specifically told others NOT TO DO. He stated that if you don't like Mac computers, simply STAY OUT of the Mac topic threads, don't read them, and don't comment in them.
Some Freepers who thought Jim wasn't serious about that edict and continued doing exactly what Flintsilver7 and you are doing ARE NO LONGER HERE! They continued their insults and snarky comments and Jim banished them when they wouldn't take the warnings. My warnings are just that, warnings to prevent what happened to them from happening to you. Act civilly and you can disagree all you want. Start calling names and insulting people and you are likely to find yourself on the outside, unable to post anymore. So, Cut it out!
