Remember this guy and his awesome video?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2091885/posts
Well, I along with some other FReepers invited him to join FR after seeing his YouTube videos. He did, posted something fairly innocuous about the Hadron Collider, and promptly got banned...
Oh, come on. The religion section is hit hard by trolls. Give them a break. It’s not easy to moderate this kind of stuff.
Way to duck the issue!
Is FR popular because of you, or in spite of you?
I only rarely check my FReepmail, because I grew tired of the deaththreats/deathwishes. That red ‘You Have Mail’ at the top? I’m used to it.
In spite, obviously.
There is no problem.
EVINVA thank your son for us for his service for our country.
That’s not the dynamic of an internet forum. With regard to FR in particular, once “IBTZ” kicks-in it’s off to the races.
Well now, God bless you fanfan.
It’s Sunday.
All I did was post some links for a poster and I guess this wasn’t appreciated.
Oh well.
Watching pheasants look in the window watching me type.
A blessed Sunday to you Fanfan.
Jeez, that sucks, has he been contacted yet?
I’ve talked to him a lot and let him know today he’s reinstated, I’m sure he’ll post.
Unless necessary.
LOL!
Oh, heck. You know what I mean!
This is a wrong that must be corrected now!
How was Macho guilty of anything but ignorance on his first post!
Banned!
What the heck is that?
He agreed with 99.9% of everything FR stands for!
Come back, come back.
It has been corrected. Jim said a whole page ago that Macho’s account was restored yesterday.
Not only does he agree with 99.9%, but he’s got a great sense of humor, so we must make sure he comes back.
I posted on youtube asking him to come back...you can do the same if you like.
well, I for one enjoy this forum and find it very educational and more often than not brilliantly funny. BUT there are those threads and those posters that make me rush to the shower. Ugh.
You got that right, get the ball rolling then blame the Mods...
Amen! It's so frustrating that there are people are on here abusing the priveledge of the forum to bash or attack others just to make themselves feel or seem important or powerful. Too many self-appointed or wanna-be mods, ever quick to reach out to the real ones with cries of "troll", hoping to witness yet another zotting. A few times it's seemed liked an old west town hungry for a hanging, with half the townsfolk out trying to find someone to hang. Uh-oh, now I've done it, better put on the asbestos underwear...
Canadian Geese here.
All my best.
I'm so mad about this! A few FOOLS make all of us look bad!
An Apology is mandatory!
The puffery associated with signup dates is less than attractive. Little drives me as nuts as the ‘noob’ name calling.
I’ve found that some of the newer FReepers have introduced really interesting material and perspectives, while I swear there are a few who signed up in the early days only to drop the occasional lob against conservatives of conviction. Recently there was a thread where a ‘noob’ was told to show respect for another post done by one of those bomb throwers simply because the latter had seniority. One would think that on a board such as this, content rather than longevity would be given weight.
