onyx: Surely you recognize that tossing perjoratives of that sort around this forum incites other people into flaming you, and in some cases gets them tossed off the forum. After all, "Bush hater" is little different from "Bushbot", except in who it's directed toward. Right? Or is getting people tossed the point of your exercise?
Jim: posters like this person are inciting others into making comments that get them banned. If your goal is to have a more civil forum in which we can openly work toward a Bush reelection, can you at least convince these folks to tone their rhetoric down? It's difficult to expect others to sit meekly by while they're personally insulted, yet a response in kind will get them banned.
Amen.
Do what I do .. ignore them
See how simple that was
Couched in unctuous tones, your relies are nothing but baitings and flamings.You pretend to call for civility and then personally attack those who haven't even posted to you. You assume the visage of Mod without portfolio, to bash, trash, and incite a response that you hope will get others in trouble. Surely you can recognizes that tossing around such claims, as you have in this post, makes you far more guilty than if you had made use of pejoratives.
Ditto I am with you!
If you do a simple search of their posts a pattern will become evident.
A pattern repeated on threads on topics not even relating to politics.
If this site is to be taken seriously we need to purge the nasty mean spirited people that are here only to fight.
Free Republic is being pulled down to the level of DU and others.
