I’m a little late coming in but, this statement by (You) cannot be allowed to stand:
“They have their very own Special Q Thread here where they are protected from challenge or criticism:”

This is a lie and CatHerd is a LIAR.

This reflects poorly on Jim Robinson and Free Republic.com

The First LIE: The Q Thread is not “special”. As it gets renewed it is posted on the main forum for all to see. Mods and JR could disallow it in a heart beat.
The Second LIE: The Q thread is NOT protected from challenge or criticism.
The Q thread welcomes all posters who criticize...rationally. “The Thread” defends ITSELF when challenged. Specifically, MODS tend to discipline OUR members who engage with others.
AAMOF, it is more restricted in its content than any other thread on the forum; 9-11 as an inside job can’t be posted. JFK dead by CIA is also not discussed.
So you see, CatHerd is a liar but...I’ll just point it out and hope that CatHerd will be more truthful in the future.
Why, CatHerd is even welcome on the Q Thread.

Right bagser?

JFK dead by CIA is also not discussed.

Just one nit to pick. I've discussed the CIA/Deep State killing JFK about a gazillion times. Since its the truth.

Why, CatHerd is even welcome on the Q Thread. Right bagser?

Oh, HELLZ no!

Put that devil behind me.

I did not lie at all. You know what they say about those who are quick to accuse others of lying.

Just because your Q threads are renewed and visible to all does not mean they are not special.

You guys whined about being mistreated on the main board and asked for your specially protected threads (similar to the religious denomination caucus threads which are protected from criticism by outsiders). You get those who show up there and post criticisms you don’t like reprimanded by Mods or even zotted. We’ve all seen it.

I don’t see how it reflects poorly on JimRob or FR at all. He graciously gave you a safe space where you could do your Q stuff in peace. My understanding is that, in return, you guys agreed to keep your Q conspiracy theories and proselytizing off the main board. Either I am mistaken, or you have not kept your end of the bargain. Since his illness and absence some of you have started bragging on the main board how you will drive off us stubborn “normies” and turn FR into a giant Special Q Thread.

If those things (JFK and 911 conspiracies) are not allowed on your Q threads, they are not allowed outside them, either. Why claim you are being specially persecuted by JimRob and the Mods?

Some Q thread regulars break FR rules on the main board with impunity. They refuse to stop posting to fellow Freepers who ask them to stop, and they engage in personal attacks, name calling, insults, false accusations, stalking, etc. And yet you claim the Mods are harder on you? Seriously, take a chill pill and stop maligning our very busy Mods. They deserve our gratitude and respect.

No thanks, I have no interest in posting on your Q threads. Not my cup of tea. But I wish you all a lovely day.
