We've given suggestions on how to act more constructively on Free Republic. We've asked. We've pretty much begged. We've taken some actions, when we don't like taking actions.
It's becoming clear that we are going to have to act further.
Look at this thread. For the last 1,000 posts, it has been swamped under a cre/evo bickerfest. Even those who find the subject interesting to debate are turned off by it and are running for the hills.
It's got to stop. It will stop.
Take some time to think it over. This thread will remain locked for a while so everyone gets to see it who is participating in it.
The instigations, the accusations, the insults, the baiting, and the whining to the moderators stops now. If it doesn't, then I'll take the next steps.
When that happens, don't say you weren't warned, don't say that you were treated unfairly, don't blame it on the other side. You'll only have yourself to blame.
Don't paint a bullseye on yourself and then act surprised when you are hit.
