Am I to Understand?

Free Republic and Liberty Post.org

To all:

I would hope your appearances and posting on these pages states your desire to undo years of liberal policies in this land I hope we all dearly love. I would hope that a hundred successful LibertyPost.org and FreeRepublics would advance the cause we all hold near and dear.

From what I have read here it seems many are more interested in fighting each other than they are in advancing the cause of individual liberty and limited constitution government as envisioned by our forefathers.

If my second paragraph is the truth, shame on you.

Let us stop the petty bickering about crap that doesn't amount to a hill of blue beans and get on with the job at hand.

BadJoe came over to Liberty Post...and then posted the same thread here as some sort of Rodney King like "can't we all get along" crap.

And then immediately was decended upon by AFers. Who have NO concern about promoting limited government, but instead are consumed with their own obessions about JimRob and FR. You simply cannot deal with them in a normal, civilized manner, because they will never extend the same courtsey to you. That is not the audience that BadJoe was trying to reach.

So, Diotima, police your own

There is no point being civil to the AFers. Period. Any attempt at such is pointless. If and when I do post at LibertyPost, I will treat the people there who are debating real liberty topics with respect. But I have no respect for the AF trolls who have crawled into that site like tapeworms in an intestine...

To: Dales
but the choir can learn to sing together effectively True. Is there any way to get the anti-libertarians to stop posting nasty (and illogical) crap to threads needlessly? It's usually on a negative thread on which no one has made a libertarian point, and is typically very insulting to libertarian posters. And yet, they appear never to be told to stop. Ruins many a decent thread, if you ask me.

I have misgivings. FR was supposed to be THE site for activism on the conservative side.

Instead i am hearing that more and more people are leaving, including luminaries in the movement. FR is eating itself from within.

Very sad.

I might be able to take your remarks seriously if I thought they were sincere, but since you chose not to rebuke similiar or worse statements by others, I can only determine you have another agenda. Coupled with your history of standing on the sidelines and throwing mud at the work of others rather than contributing or offering useful advice, your input has about zero value in my eyes.

And BTW, I did not single handedly organize the cruise, (contrary to your assertion I did elsewhere) there was a committee and it was run democratically.

I'm gonna disagree with you. The best way to refute collectivist nonsense is to dissect it, sentence by hoary sentence.

Simply banning it implies that the minds here on FR can't deal with it. Wrong impression to give. 'Pod

No one has said that liberty is tinfoil land, except for you in your replies to Jim. He has said that he doesn't want the tinfoil stuff. You have expanded that comment to include lots that he doesn't.

If you do a search just on the word "liberty", you will see many discussions of the very topic (and there are many that are about that subject but do not have the word liberty in the topic).

Compare this to why articles are actually pulled:

However, I am aware of the rules of www.libertypost.com

According to the operators of the site, the rules you quoted in your post apparently don't apply to the special FR section where BADJOE posted his appeal. See Posts 691 and 696 in the linked section. From what I was able to gather, about the only thing you're not allowed to do in this section is post personal information. Other than that, from what I gather, no holds are barred.

So, much like the critters on Orwell's animal farm, some LibertyPost posters and venues are apparently more equal than others.

It doesn't bother me in theory people chose to post under different names, it is a free country as you pointed out.

My point however, that it is a bit disturbing that people might be afraid to use the same name on more than one site, lest their comments on one, affect their status at another.

Don't you agree? Or do you think that there should be people tracking down people to make sure they "stay in line?" I sure hope you aren't proposing that that is acceptable.
