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.

On the other hand, the dramatic decrease in links to funny YouTube cat videos is certainly troubling.

You don’t see this level of trump-hating “conservatives” anywhere else.

"It is my suspicion that we have one or two Kremlinbots getting paid by Vladimir Putin to post Russian propaganda. They know that if they want to win the war in Ukraine, they have to stop the American support of Ukraine." It is my suspicion that we have one or two Kremlinbots Bidenbots getting paid by Vladimir Putin PedonBiden to post "Democratic" Party propaganda. They know that if they want to win the war in Ukraine, they have to stop propagandize up the American support of Ukraine.

This is my lake of regard. I come here in my mind quite often.

Your preference looks easier to spell.
To: LukeL
Yeah, but people online don’t know that and you get the same lack of respect from them.

Levin’s 1st takes are often wrong and sometimes he comes around much later.

On FR it is necessary to thicken one’s skin and be above the trolls. There are many more willing to carry on an Intelligent discussion. Report the rest to the Moderator if you feel it justified.

A long time ago on the site it wouldn’t be tolerated if you called someone a “lair”. Den what would you prefer we call them?

"Not sure how long I’ve been here — over 20 years, I think. The civility level has decreased. What I notice more is that there’s a less scholarly and intelligent level to posts overall. (Of course, there are glaring exceptions.)" You don't sound pompous are condescending at all. You are the truest example of enlightened perfection that has ever commented.
You do know that the Founding Fathers used to battle each other in the newspapers like rabid dogs and they won our independence, right? It has been proven for over 70 years now that GOPe squishes do not win political battles. You probably hate Trump's "demeanor too.

I skipped over the insults to the Q group, a group of very good people who had a few conspiracy theories but who also followed the good advice of Q to do their own research and not just believe in summary articles, but the remark on Humblegunner, misspelled so he wouldn’t find it?, stopped me.
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.
But perhaps it was inevitable to find personal insults in a thread on insults. Sigh.

Always insult posters with adjectives they have to look up in dictionary.com.

I notice lots of cursing and vulgarities, which I understood were not allowed.
