We are in FULL compliance with the agreement as agreed upon.

Per the moderator of said agreement, as stated in this post.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/952079/posts?page=2156#2156

Per section 5 of aforementioned agreement.

5 Language Restraint We will not use obscene or belittling words to describe another complying poster or whatever that poster believes; however, merely factual or logical criticism and rebuttal shall never be considered "obscene or belittling."


If one of us notices another poster creating problems on the thread, we may post a warning in behalf of all of us, to the effect of: "Hey X, that post of yours [number 123] was a bit provocative. You know we have rules about disrupting (or whatever). I understand that you're momentarily swept up in the debate, but please restrain yourself."
Or: [in lieu of the 2nd sentence in bold] "Under our agreement, the actions of provocateurs, trolls, spammers, and disruptors are prohibited, as is the use of obscene or belittling words to describe another poster or his beliefs."

After having made such a good faith attempt to bring the offending poster into compliance, if the problematic poster continues in the offending behavior we may post a warning (such as: "Don't feed the trolls!") to other posters that the problematic party has chosen not to comply. If the problem persists, the offender may thereafter be called a provocateur, troll, spammer, or disruptor, and doing so will not be a violation of this agreement.


We are in compliance, please quit engaging the disruptor, the flamewar he is trying to start is building, it is time to quit engaging and let him stew by himself until he chooses to comply with said agreement.

Until that time, Virtual Ignore is our friend.

Thanks in advance.

"Effective August 9, 2003, we, the undersigned, freely and in good faith agree that henceforth we shall treat others on these threads as we wish to be treated ourselves."

"We will not deliberately provoke another to engage in improper conduct. We will not conspire against, scheme or bait any poster for any reason."

Obey the rules!
