Let's be honest. Some have posted foul language on Free Republic

My contention is that it is the exception not the rule as profanity as a rule is not tolerated by the owner of the site, however none of my posts said there is never any profanity uttered on FR, however I personally have seen little of the words that I consider profane during all of my postings to date.

Personally, lying bothers me more than profanity. But that's just me.

Have you ever seen this image posted at FR?

What words are almost always posted with it?

That is your contention NOW that you have been proven wrong. Here is my original post and your reponse to it.

If you have "seen little of the words" you consider profane, you've still seen "some (few)" profane words. As I said, such posts are usually reported and deleted. Several Ted Kennedy death threads kept the moderators in overdrive!

Neither metmom nor chm-o-3 stated FR is filled with vulgar hate mongers. They simply pointed out that there is "some" foul language.

I certainly see no reason for FR to be banned as a "hate" site, especially if DU is allowed.

In this link, you will find the simple statement made by christianhomeschoolmommaof3 of

“You will find curse words here.”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2460219/posts?page=8#8

That is ALL she said. She never implied that it was common. She never said it was the rule. She never said it was tolerated by JR. Nobody ever accused you of posting profanity.

In post 60 you said this to her.....”I was replying only to your original statement, that there are ‘plenty’ of people who use foul language on FR. “

She never said that there are *plenty* of people on FR who use foul language. You are putting words in her mouth and falsely accusing her of things that she did not say.

Why are you attacking her? What nerve did she hit that sent you into such a tirade against her?

She made one simple statement and people went ballistic over it, a totally uncalled for over reaction.

.....however I personally have seen little of the words that I consider profane during all of my postings to date.

So, now the truth comes out. You HAVE seen profanity on FR, after so viciously attacking christianhomeschoolmommaof3 and slandering her and assassinating her character because she said she saw some and you initially disagreed that it ever existed on FR, cause you (in your own words in post 43 of this thread) "No, FR doesn't allow profanity over here, I have never seen the S word, the F word or even G-damn, occasionally I see a-hole or the abbreviated B.S. ,and I don't really consider hell a cuss word."

So, which is it?

Have you seen them or not?

Busted......

Exactly but it looks like the church ladies have come out to pronounce judgemnet upon the whole place? I find that this place is one of the better behaved sites I’ve ever been to that allowed discussion of politics but I guess you can’t please everyone. Some really do live very sheltered lives I guess?
