Just a quick question

Posted on 08/22/2002 7:39:18 PM PDT by vraiblonde

This is my first time to this forum - I actually found you courtesy of the Democratic Underground, if you can believe that. They found my little regional forum (where we lean conservative but it's by no means absolute) and did a virtual panty-raid - proceeded to go crazy on us with their absolute hatred and vitriol. Needless to say, we deleted and banned several of them for foul language, etc.

When we found out where they were coming from, several of us went on their forum and posted rather benign messages like "Don't hide - we welcome all political opinions here" and such. To a man, we got deleted and banned. Seems the Rules of Their Road say that it's for extreme liberals only and any other opinons will be deleted. They then made comments like "They delete you over at Free Republic if you're not a right-winger" and bashed you all for First Amendment violations (the irony was stunning).

So the question is: do you all delete people who have differing opinions, as long as they're not using ugly language, flaming or otherwise being disruptive and abusive? Just curious.

I know that one of the best things about our forums is chasing off the lefties with logic and fact that they can't counter. Makes them revert to name-calling and flaming. Right now they're so outmanned that they're reduced to taking shots at Prescott Bush and his Nazi ties. So, of course, we brought up Old Joe Kennedy, which made them foam at the mouth. *lol*

Is there anyone on FR that likes Norm Mineta?

I hope not! The guy is an danger to our security! Maybe if someone gave him a baseball bat to replace the one that was taken from him when he was 11, he'd be satisfied and go away...

Or referring to President Bush as Dumbya? That one always gets my blood pressure up a couple of notches.

Gotta go. Hope you have a lovely day!

If you plan on bashing the Bush's with liberal propaganda you will be booted. Yes, ma'am.

The key word being bashing. Reasoned, fact based disagreements with a Bush are A-OK, right Jim?

DU has it's Gorons.

Although most of us like W, we're not Bushdroids...

No, but at least most of us don't have our local airport named after him. *sigh*

The rules probably forbid me from saying where I'd like to give it to him...

I remember that thread. It was perfect proof that one can criticise without bashing. It was a hot thread for the whole day and to my knowledge it didn't get pulled or any reasonable poster banned. Most of the posters banned have been nutcases or crybabies. The ones who go to other sites and cry censorship are the biggest crybabies of all.
