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.Everyone is welcome regardless of persuasion. Subjects discussed are varied as the people.We have a special place where you can even be flaming,disruptive,abusive, and use bad language.
Most of the other sections follow the rules of NO PERSONAL ATTACKS, etc. OTHERWISE HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!
The only people DELETED , as you say are , for instance, 1 person that has been banned for the rest of the week for using particularly UGLY LANGUAGE, REPEATEDLY, MAKING PERSONAL ATTACKS, to the point it bored us to death. The MODERATORS gave him a temp. ban to cool off. (in a sense)
I have never seen the moderators or the owner DELETE, as you say, ANYONE for their idealogy, political beliefs, or religion, race, color, or creed.
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.
That is primarily what we do on here also. We also have wonderful informative discussions due the the abundance of talent, and intellect on these threads. You would be amazed at the variety of skills encountered.
Check out the TOPICS section. F.R. covers a wide variety of subjects, as this is an OPEN MINDED type website.
I think I went to DU once, but it may have been only a nightmare I was having.

P.S. We don't always run off the lefties through debate. Some stay because they are treated fairly. Some convert after a while. I think F.R. is one of the best websites on the internet, no matter what your political bent, or what you want to discuss. Want to talk about HOBBITS, it's here. Want to talk about the WEATHER, got it.
RELIGION, got it.
LINKS on here abound, mostly placed by the posters to the theads. SO, instead of the limited links you find on sites where the webmaster has to provide/find them, here you have 1000's of posters with different categories of interest posting links.

I don't think we have that many flatout liberals on FR. But don't let that fool you. Libertarian, conservatives, and hardline republicans have enough to argue about without bringing in Clintoonites. Jump in and have fun. Before long, you'll think you were here all along. We won't talk about the addiction until later...:)

"my little regional forum " Post a link to it on the appropriate state announcement board and you'll probably get a half dozen new constructive and responsible members!

joe kennedy?
oh, you are so banned.
probably the worst that would happen here is someone would call you a poopoo head.
so what's the url to your page?
To: vraiblonde
No, there are all sorts on FR, but mainly it's an incredibly rich source of information on just about anything. There's always someone who has specialised knowledge about something.

There have been a few people who have confused the site owner's property for their own, or for public property. It is not public property, it is private property; like your own living room, people can be invited to stay or invited to leave. You have to be pretty rank to get banned, most are forgiven but a few have gotten permanent neutering. I have yet to figure out what the triggering mechanism is.

I have to admit that I am utterly addicted to FR.

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

Right now they're so outmanned outbrained
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*Methinks you'll like it here. Welcome home...
