DU Tactics at FreeRepublic

Such abuse will be reported from now on.

[cripplecreek]

I believe the moderators can tell who adds keywords

[Tax-chick]

I’m sorry this has happened.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Some of those keywords are uncalled for.

[Moose4]

Definitely report it. Politics is a contact sport around here, but that’s beyond the pale.

FReepers have a “folding” project going on which uses your available computer time to fight disease.

Two left wing scum, refugees from DU I guess, have joined and left names mocking the effort, Ronald Reagan and FReepers.

Their twisted politics is irrelevant to me. I welcome their participation and I hope their involvement helps find a cure for cancer.

These idiots are legion on the Giuliani threads, too. It’s a sign of desperation and cowardice IMO.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I agree; I hope the moderators will make an effort, if possible, to take whatever action is deemed appropriate to the people doing such things.

Look, I have problems with Ron Paul and Rudy G.: in my opinion, one is too libertarian and the other is too liberal. But I wouldn't think about trying to be so idiotic/radical as to accuse either one of them of being a "child raper". Eegads.

C'mon, conservatives. We're better than the left. Let's prove the same.

All you had to do was ping abuse to the mods and they would remove the offensive keywords and send the offender a warning.

But you knew that.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

.....However, it isn't as though Mitt Romney is the only target of such childish keywording.

And to be technical, mainstream Christianity does consider Mormonism to be a cult. The word has bad connotations, but if taken as a neutral term, that is what Mormonism is considered by many denominations of Christianity.

P.S. The other bolded keywords are bad.

[Poser]

Who can change keywords and how do they do it?

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Keywords can be removed?

If so, then that begs the question of: why do some threads have so many outrageous keywords?

[airborne]

This is shameful!

Whoever did this should be suspended or banned.

[Chena]

I agree with you, Reaganesque. BUMP!

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Explain yourself.

Or are you just being rude?

[Reaganesque]

Anyone. You only have to click on Click To Add Keyword.

[KoRn]

That is pretty ugly stuff and should be reported. For the most part FR is above such crap, but there are some degenerates among us.

[Reaganesque]

And I will, as I said above. However, I felt the point needed to be made that this kind of thing is not acceptable here or anywhere else.

[NonValueAdded]

I used "anticrist" as a keyword once, but that was for Ton Gallagher running against Charlie Crist. (No "H" - oh wait, isn't that His middle initial?)

All kidding aside, Reagan's Rule does seem to be routinely ignored. Mods have indicated in the past that they know who adds what keyword. It is time to moderate things a bit.
