The state of discourse on Free Republic
Posted on 06/08/2024 2:35:05 PM PDT by LukeL
In the past couple of years I have noticed there is a complete lake of regard for other posters on this site. Not only that but swearing seems to be tolerated. In the past day I have been called gay, a lair, that I am talking out of my *** and I am full of ****. Do we even have to go into the fighting on any thread about Ukraine or Russia. Even hard facts from multiple sources no longer seem to matter. Instead it is whoever can come up with the snarkiest reply.

I met Humblegunner at the Texas FReeper Shoot in 2019. I learned a lot about the proper care and handling of firearms from him. He’s also a great cook.

If you think TJ’s dalliances with Miss Hemming were not discussed openly you got another thing coming.

This coming from a Freeper that puts the line “Let it be so!” like a messianic nut in nearly every one of his pro CIA/Ukraine comments.

Calling someone a lair is going beyond the bounds of civility. I'll still try to remain clam.

Everyone gets no respect on the internet nowadays, that is my point. There was a time when new posters were welcomed here. In the early days of the internet websites had real communities of people that were like family. Today that is no longer true.
Yet go back 20 years when I was in high school I had plenty of friends. The teachers who I argued with liked and respected me because I was educated and could respond with facts and logic. Something very evil has happened to this world in such a short amount of time.

ITS easy to handle the FR posters that are trash. I keep a list of those I do not wish to engage. AND I DONT. So... if I don’t reply to a post. It’s because you made my list.

On FR I’ve been called the offspring of a female K-9. I wear it as a badge of honor.

Love hearing good things about good people. We need more compliments rather than insults. We’ve got some great Freepers out there.
