I think a good bit of the behavior on this thread is conduct unbecoming of FReepers.
People are entitled to opinions, and a good healthy discussion, including heated but polite disagreements, should be the norm, not the exception.
To call someone rude names and troll simply because you think their opinion is naive or you disagree, or you'd rather just have folks agree with you, is ridiculous.
This thread really P.O.'d me, and it should all of you. This is one of those threads that this forum should be embarassed for the juvenile comments.
I've read probably hundreds of posts by many of the folks on this thread and I am truly surprised. Did y'all each too much pecan pie and are having a sugar OD or what?
Geez people, take a step back and remember who you are.
This is Thanksgiving, remember the season, please.
Welcome to FR, Credo Deus. As you see, it ain't no walk in the park some days LOL
But, the folks here are very good people and you'll come to appreciate the wackiness and take the bad with the good.
No. I simply have a strong reaction when someone tries to blame the victim. As Credo Deus has repeatedly. With no facts to back up his imaginings.
I think a good bit of the behavior on this thread is conduct unbecoming of FReepers .....I didn't read all the comments here. And what I did was point out CD's post about voting for Kerry and summon the Viking Kitties.
But I don't have too much sympathy for Kerry supporters/voters and folks that are Tom Brokaw sympathizers. Seems we are cracking open the Old Media with the takedown of ole Dan Rather.
Brokaw lovers and Kerry voters - is THAT what FreeRepublic is all about ??? I think that is what DU is all about.
How many DU Trolls have been banned for their vanity threads for such postings the last six months? Plenty.
CD, check out the DU (©). Probably more to your liking.
LOTS of Kerry folks and Old Media lovers there. You might even find their posts about Kerry's coming inauguration as President in January entertaining??? hahahahahaaa!
I was out for a bit.
And missed quite a bit.
Welcome to FR CD.
I'll catch up with this when I can.
Oh, on a side note before anyone else can say it: My sense of humor is way out there.
Don't drink anything while reading one of my standard posts.
