What is Free Republic? A chatroom for vanities, or a place to evaluate the published word? Jim -- please make the policy clear, and please enforce this policy.

A vanity about the abuse of vanities? You are not the first to do this - I don’t know the link to the first vanity post complaining about all the vanities. I think it happened back in 2000 or 2001, when I was a lurker.

They’re just letting people vent a bit.

It’s pretty hard to “evaluate the published word” without expressing some kind of opinion. What are we supposed to evaluate, spelling and grammar?

Having never posted a vanity, I'm in a position to give unbiased advice.

Don't read them.

I don't read the ongoing thread on horses because I'm not a big horse fan.

The tactic works!

I apologize. You are right. I am wrong. Just venting. It has been a long election and I have never been so involved or done so much online research and tried to inform so many people. The MSM was not doing it’s job. I think that is was the hardest pill for me to swollow. When you look at someone and you say the name “Ayers” or talk about his possible birth in Kenya and they look at you like you like your own something it’s kind of a lonely feeling. I’m dissapointed in myself and most of the American people. I’m sorry and it won’t happen again. Sorry if I offended anyone. Heck, I even got upset at my mom. She voted for Obama. She is a die hard democrat. I guess she deserves a phone call.

FR has ceased to be a place to evaluate the published word, and has degenerated into a sophomoric chatroom.

Seems the "General/Chat" forum was created to facilitate vanities and "sophomoric" chats. It's pretty easy to block them out, and see FR the way you want to see it.

IIRC, it was a sophomoric chat on FR that lead to the exposure of the forged CBS documents.

Drill down into any of the published words, cut and pasted or excerpted here, and you are at a vanity post.

That's my 2 cents on your anti-vanity vanity post.
