Stop labeling people as Pro-Putin Posters. You are committing the same slander that Mommy threatens others on these threads with. Better get in line with Mommy. She thinks she runs this site, and enjoys reporting anyone whose comments she doesn't like. I know you are on her side, but if she's demanding that people who are against this war, behave in a certain manner on FR, according to her rules, then it's only fair that her supporters should follow Mommy's rules as well.
This is a Hillary tactic and one brought to tFR without correction.
All should comply with guideline agreed to when signing on to FR. By giving their word, this would be considered as good as a verbal contract with assumption of their having ethical integrity to be bound by their word.
Mr Robinson authored further specific guidelines for those individuals that struggling with compliance:
I respect his guidelines. Compare the comments by others on this post to see the irony revealed.
FREE REPUBLIC POSTING RULES
1ST: FR Posting/ Commenting Rules:
Reminder: No profanity, no personal attacks, no violence.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3928396/posts
“Reminder: No profanity, no personal attacks, no violence.
You agreed to this when you signed up for posting privileges.
This means leave off the the cussing and swear words.
No f-bombs. No c-words, no sh-words, etc. Not even masked. If in a headline or article you’re preparing to post, bleep it out.
Do not tale the Lord’s name in vain.
1. Do not tale the Lord’s name in vain.
2. Use common courtesy when posting. Do not post insults or personal attacks against your fellow FReepers. Do not engage in flame-wars or feuds. If you find yourself falling into one, disengage immediately and move on. You don’t need to have the last word.
3. Do not badger other posters. Do not demand an answer. If someone says stop, stop.
4. Do not enter onto a thread on a topic you don’t like just to disrupt, rattle cages, poke sticks, insult the regulars, or engage in trolling activities, etc.
5. Do not attempt to discover or expose a poster’s real life identity.”
2ND: Free Republic Posting/ Commenting Rules:
NOTICE: Please knock-off the abusive posts, name-calling, taunting, trolling, stalking, flame-baiting*, insults, religious insults, flames, threats, ill-wishes, harassing & annoying posts, unwanted posts & FReepmail, etc, etc, etc
Jim Robinson
[*Flame-bait is a message or post intended to arouse controversy into any type of digital forum such as a social media platform, a comment thread or anywhere else that people interact online]
This is not DU!
Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!
Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.
We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a “Putinista”, “commrade”, “murderer”, “baby-killer”, etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.
Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can’t destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other. We are here as allies to fight for God, family, country, and FREEDOM! As William Wallace said in Brave Heart, “Unite the clans!”
Your personal favorite may be Ron DeSantis, mine happens to be President Trump. But if DeSantis receives the nomination, I’ll support him, as I hope most other FReepers will.
Incidentally, we are getting way too much profanity. This is NOT DU, this is NOT CNN - (in deep voice) this IS FR!
Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.
Thank you all very much, and God bless you.”
