And how is posting vanities any worse than whining about people posting vanities, especially when they are posted in the CHAT forum....which is where vanities are supposed to be posted?
I've changed my tune completely on this. As martin_fierro points out, if it weren't for vanities, they probably would have to close down the Institute of Me.
Nobody wants that.
Gee, I dunno. Maybe FReeRepublic should just do away with the reply option. We'll all just post our opinions on individual Epiphany Threads. 50,000 threads a day. OR we can fight the urge to start a thread for every brainfart that emerges and look for an existing thread where our opinions can be discussed just as easily.
