(Vanity)Why are the Christopher Reeve threads locked or pulled?(Vanity)
10/10/04 | Brbear

Just a quick question to the Moderators. Why was the Christopher Reeve thread last night pulled after 400+ posts? And why was today's thread locked after just 5 posts?

It sucks to be involved in a discussion and then have the thread pulled or locked, with the reason being, "Pulled" or "Locked". I understand you guys have a job to do, but can't you type in a few more characters to give us a "Why" it was pulled. I mean, there's a place for "Reason" there anyway, why not use it?

Calling people newbies has become the last refuge of those who have lost the argument. They can't attack the facts so they attack the person.

Forgot to ping you to #36. That's what I heard last night on the local news after the threads got locked.

Yeah, yeah -- heard the same song and dance before...

Why don't you go over and console your new school hall monitor partner and fellow arbiter of "all things decent and indecent" at FR?

The rest of us will ignore your whine-a-thon -- IF you don't mind.

Bedsores can lead to severe medical complications, including bone and blood infections and once in the hospital chances are it got worse.

Nope.
I read it.

Then you didn't get it. The premise of that thread is ghoulish.

"Christopher Reeves is dead (Will Kerry sink to a new low)"

Let Kerry sink first and then respond. Don't climb on Reeve's coffin before the fact in the expectation that Kerry will do the same. That's just as opportunistic and nothing Kerry or Edwards can do will justify it.

Before you become an official school hall monitor at Free Republic, get your ears wet a bit, Newbie.

LOL How long do I have to post here before ad hominems are a substitute for argument?

I could give you the exact coordinates, but I'd get banned ...

And what "argument" is that??

Barely two weeks at Free Republic, you've already appointed yourself high-priest of FR's school monitors.

If it pleases you to act like a sanctimonious ass as you whine about the behavior of others here on this board, you may as well get yourself a hankie, the papal hat, and purple robe.

It'll make you feel sooo "special."

... Reeve would be out of his wheelchair.

One might suggest that Reeve is out of his wheelchair, Dubya notwithstanding.

You tell me its your argument.

LOL Have I? I made a few comments about a thread I didn't like. I'm not sure that's a rare occurence at this site.

How long are going to ride that high horse, Slim? You're still posting ad hominems. LOL

There were many more than 3 or 4 posts that were objectionable. I was on that thread, and am not at all sorry it was pulled.

Haven't run out of Kleenex yet, Highness?

Brew yourself a nice big mug of chamomile tea -- It'll help.

So how exactly is this a "freedom forum" if an administrator decides what is appropriate and what is not. How this is different from so-called biased news organizations.

"This is compounded by the fact that Christopher Reeve was a lot of things to a lot of people."

You forgot to mention: Advocate for Spinal Cord Injury Patients. Pressure wounds are the biggest risk to quads as their consequences are deadly. He is admired by many patients who grieve his passing greatly.

Because some freepers can not behave themselves and totally embarrassed themselves, and the site, with their behavior towards Mr. Reeves and other freepers.
