JOS is not preferred by many here and while I used to watch his vids and I don’t particularly care for him, mainly because I simply no longer have time to watch many lengthy one plus hour long videos, I certainly think he makes valid points here and there. We are informed thinkers on this site and are independantly able to determine truth and falsehoods also perferred and not so preferred sources. There are much worse commentators, such as Ward and Parkes and a dozen more I could suggest.

With that said, gateway pundit is horrible, yet there is no banishment to the festival basement for GP. why is that? I suspect it is due to favortism toward the poster, rather than the controverial nature of the source.

Probably better to post and allow the forum participants to determine the value of the contribution, lest we end up with censorship in the forum...like the lying media does every day and lest we become like them. FR has been a site for freedom of thoughts, the open sharing of ideas and perspsectives. We should be careful to keep the dialog and interaction open for the free exchange of ideas. The contributors to the forum have and do correct information all the time and this is healthy to free dialog.

If readers don’t perfer the source of the information posted, simply move along to the next post. We each do it every day, whether it is a cat gif, a “slide”, or you name it. We’ve had dozens of posts, going page after page, sliding on house remodeling, job searches, gardening, medical articles, you name it. They never get banished.

Normally, only leftists want to shut down people’s freedom of expression and this banisment to the festival basement is bordering on this very evil.

We should be careful =o)

...that is all

Quite agree. JOS can be insufferably windy on youtube, yielding nothing. Off grid, with hosts on paywall & dot com addresses his remarks are found more interesting.

I seldom listen, but I do listen some. Too many other respected men refer to JOS & his work, and so he’s in my news loop, just ‘cuz.

It’s been ages since JUAN O’SAVIN nailed down a statement on youtube that had a subject, verb and a direct object. Ha. I posted a “FWIW” for the occasion. Then FireThroat ascended. I’m recovering in the burn unit, now.😡

Do you ever read TGP? Sometimes has original articles, sometimes from other sources, but it’s never tripe or fake.

Though I am totally sympathetic to the "Freedom of expression" argument, that argument does not apply to disinformation, which is what MQD has determined JOS to be.

It's a judgement call, and I understand some may differ; but, MQD is the one who must make that decision and act upon it.

SUMMARY: Disinformation is only welcomed into a discussion if the group wants to commit suicide. It is poison. Ransomnote's requests should be honored on FReeQ thread.
