"Here on FR we have that free exchange. Civility is expected and enforced if necessary."

Have you ever checked the keywords on any of Ransomnote's threads in the last couple of years? Particularly these very threads where we share our ongoing mutual support and intentional unity in our efforts to separate fact from narrative?

It's like stuff we see in media reports after something violent makes the evening news. More than ordinary effort is spent keeping this up. For years.

Civility is not enforced here where this particular defamation of all of us is concerned.
Not even, it seems, when the never ending defamation via keywords is cheered about, right in our faces by one claiming ownership.

In my view this long unmoderated, old but ceaseless keyword hate flood is also intended to serve as an always present reminder that people will be stalked and defamed on FR for daring to participate here in our threads.
(As many have been.)

Change my mind.

The good people in these threads are why I've been known to donate even when it sometimes feels like I'm paying to be insulted, or worse...

I realize this is in festival but felt the need to respond anyway.

I was responding to a post about use of some ugly words on Truth Social and whether they would be censored or if there was truly going to be no censorship on the platform.

My point was that there is a difference in keeping free exchanges of ideas and opinions uncensored and allowing incivility to go uncensored i.e. using words that have no place in civil discourse.

While the enforcement of civility is not overly strict here on FR, if one calls attention to over the top rudeness and personal attacks, the mods will delete the offending post and warn the poster.

As for the keywords aimed at insulting ransomnote and through her all of us here, I have never paid any attention to them. I don’t post threads and rarely use search so keywords are not something I notice. It was not until another poster upthread remarked on them that I even looked at them.

I agree that it is negligent for the mods to allow it to continue.

Just can't wait to "run and tell", can you, Nancy?

By the way, you screwed up your tattle-link.
