Seriously though, I agree with you about everything but mass bannings. FreeRepublic is like a core sample of the Republican party and if all we are is a bunch of nasty snark-meisters, well, I think we need to face that and deal with it, not try to ignore it.

No, it's not. Free Republic isn't even representative of the Republican party.

I'd think seriously before I posted a nasty keyword. The keywords can be reported as abuse and the moderators can see who posted a certain keyword.
