Against zotting...

[Philistone]

As someone who was (unfairly?) zotted oh so many moons ago because as a n00b I didn't understand the point to which some mods didn't understand sarcasm, I would like to put forward the (perhaps heretical) notion that we shouldn't be quite so quick on the zot.

Recently, a FReeper put forward the notion of a "probationary period" before being allowed to post.

I would argue that as long as the posts are rated "PG" (I understand that this is a family chat board) we should allow ALL viewpoints to be presented here. There are a couple of good reasons:

1) Where ELSE can you have as much fun playing with a liberal? Trying to engage a liberal in debate on the DUmmie board will get you tombstoned.

2) Most of the zotties are simply stupid. Why not try to enlighten them? After all, if churches kicked out all those who weren't already believers, there'd be no new recruits!

3) Love the sinner, not the sin.

4) What do liberals accuse us of the most? "Stifling free speech!" So let's show them that we actually SUPPORT free speech (within the "PG Rated" limits noted above).

Just my two one-hundreths of a dollar...

I smell ozone with a hint of napalm wafting on the breeze.

We do on occasion keep pet liberals ... but the first time they crap on the carpet ...

I can think of two: liberallarry and MurryMom. AFAIK, liberallarry minds his manners and intelligently presents a contrarian point of view. As for MurryMom...well, every village needs its idiot.

[Crooked Constituent]

To zot or not?

I'm not sure.

[Republican Wildcat]

LOL

[Republican Wildcat]

MurryMom is the resident liberal.

Nice kitty (even my daughter laughed at that one and she is a tough audience!).

I found this in the Epistle to the Freerepublicans. "For thy Lord shall not suffer the trolls to abound. He has laid up His terrible ZOT in store for them, to execute His fierce wrath. In that day of ZOT, He shall send His Viking Kittens, who are His ministers of thunder, His deliverers of lightning. The trolls shall be consumed with the ZOT of His word, and with the brightness of His ZOTcoming."

Be nice mighty one, he is a good boy!
