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 don’t often go into religious threads often, but there was one recently about a woman who had communion given to her dog, which seemed kind of interesting.
I related a story about how I had been a ten or eleven year old altar boy, and me and another boy broke into the locker where the hosts and wine were kept, and were eating handfuls of the hosts, which were being kept in a small garbage bag for storage, and breaking the bigger ones into pieces as the priests did during the ceremony, intoning “Dominus Sanctum” or some other made up Latin phrase, and drinking mouthfuls of the Maneshewitz wine...
We were just being stupid boys. I wasn’t bragging about it, just relating a story that seemed funny to me now as an adult, but this denizen of the religious threads laid into me fully, telling me I was going to go to Hell and such, and I should be ashamed of myself, etc.
And then warned me not to enter any Religious threads again.
It was totally weird. I have seen this person’s posts for years, and barely ever said boo, and the first time I did, she came at me like some furious harpy with snakes for hair.

I still see a lot of ridiculous statements here on FR. Even some of my own. 🙄

Im fine. Just expressing an opinion based on my own observations.

We are told to confess our sins to one another. Yet when we do the daggers come out.

Is that where you got that idea?
We even smuggled in cheese!

Maybe Snek slipped up and thought he was posting on TBR. That’s where he’s been spreading his bile recently.

Oh that’s right. I went there a few months ago and was underwhelmed. Haven’t been back either.

TBR? Is that where Chins posts? Funny how a discussion on censorship brings out the Snakes.

WOW! You must be the Father of The House, Dan.
Congratulations.

Trying to think of a few names from the past - well rid of. Can think of only two - A+bert and Eschoir.
There were many more.....

I ignore them, you ignore them, but not everyone does. Ultimately, at the end of the day, they make a mockery of political discourse and make all of us look like idiots. Them and the Baitway Pundit with their constant BOOM and EXPLOSIVE and KRAKEN bogus clickbait headlines.

It was a joke that started and took wings because Biden has shat his pants a few times. It looked like he shat his pants There is no denying that. Nobody had any proof.
I can’t believe some of you took this so seriously. That fed right into what the RATs wanted.
My point is, who cares?
Do you also think we can say if Uncle Bosey was really eaten by cannibals? We can chuckle though. Or are we allowed to do that?
