The state of discourse on Free Republic

[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.

the dramatic decrease in links to funny YouTube cat videos is certainly troubling.

One of the goals of Communists is the party all the time.

It is why the family, and religion are anathema to the Left. People expend energies on those things when they could be expending it for the party.

I found your comment about race with respect to subculture, because it is something I feel is extremely difficult for some people to understand and differentiate. What you call “subculture” is what I refer to as “Toxic Black Culture”.

Some people on and off this forum fail to recognize or even accept the premise that there IS a subculture of “ Toxic Black Culture” in discussions that involve blacks. But there most certainly is, and when I see people who make the distinction, I view that as a positive.

The Q conspiracy nuts have run rampant, maybe they are also even the moderators now.

How so? We keep our discussions on their own threads which you can choose to read or not read. Doesn't seem very rampant to me.

Bad as it is, one thing is now much better due to a major CLEANSING here over a year ago. Check my tagline for the clue.

The fact there is a regular Qtards thread has hindered any support I have.

Which you have to actively search out to find these days, and has been for a while now.

If you're still withholding donations because of the fact that they even exist even when they are not very visible at all any more, you just need to get over yourself.

Sheesh, way to try to control FR. Punish it because you don't like that someone else posts their opinion.

[hole_n_one]

That’s the ol’ FR I remember!

[Albion Wilde]

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.

Ditto! Don't even bother with them.

[JonPreston]

With 68 posts in you have called FReepers tools of Putin and hinted some are racist. And here you demand civility.

[metmom]

FWIW, I am NOT a Q anon follower. Checked it out when it initially started but it never made any sense to me and so I couldn’t be bothered by it.

I just ignore them when I see them.

There is a lot of snark and sarcasm on Free Republic.

[PJ-Comix]

This place is overrun with trolls.

Check my tagline. The major one has been ...TERMINATED.

Been around here for 20 years and have never seen it so bad.

Actually there was a major IMPROVEMENT in January 2023 with a big cleansing operation.

[Chode]

solitude...

[metmom]

Thank you.

[PJ-Comix]

Things really started going downhill when Humblegummer was allowed to stay and abuse everyone.

Good news! TERMINATED!

“Been around here for 20 years and have never seen it so bad.

Ditto.

Karyindel (sp.) take note.

I’ve been zapping people here since ‘98. I give credit where credit is due too. If you don’t like this site there are plenty of others.

If people here have been rattling you then you probably deserve it from what you’ve posted. That’s been my experience here. Freepers are a diverse bunch, but all the longtime regulars seem to have a lot in common at the core.

[T Ruth]

Paid, professional trolls work for Soros-funded front groups, U.S. government agencies, foreign governments. Their sole purpose is to foment disagreement, disruption, and disputes.

IMHO, the best tactic against them is to ignore them.

“Rules for Radicals”...RULES.

[PJ-Comix]

Humble uses satire to make his points. But I’ve found him to be one of the nicest Freepers around. A good man with a penchant for making his points in ways that aren’t always understood. Just as The Greatest President Ever was often misinterpreted by those reading his humor literally.

Oh yes, a Child of God who claimed (via a flunkie) that he went to Divinity School. Such a good man and gentle soul. Why would anybody take offense if he should call someone's wife a "Puerto Rican wh---." Yes the man is clearly misunderstood... unless you actually read what he posts.

[PJ-Comix]

Whatever happened to Humblegummer?

He went to Divinity School. Or at least that is what he had his Flunkie try to make you believe.
