Why Is Free Republic Allowing Liberal Trolls To Stay?

May 12 2009 | jveritas

[jveritas]

There are some really annoying liberal trolls on Free Republic who have survived for months and years without being banned. Why is Free Republic allowing them to stay? We have enough liberalism and left wing lunacy on 90% of the media and we do not need this crap on this forum.

It is not difficult to spot these trolls. A quick review of their posting history will prove without any shadow of doubt that they are liberal trolls. Some of them try to mask it but they cannot fool the vast majority of us.

There are plenty of left wing forums which will welcome them that if they are not already registered and active members there.

It is time to get rid of them.

Hit the abuse bottom on them and hit it often.

Let this be a forum where hardcore conservatives gather to hone talking points (or, more likely, counter talking points), discuss plans of action, and disseminate information. There will be enough disagreement among the conservative on those points alone to keep everyone busy. Let the liberals and RINOs be banned so that they don’t waste our time.
***I agree with your point of view that something needs to be done so they don’t waste our time. That’s why I have proposed an idealogy litmus matrix. The libs & CINOs wouldn’t necessarily need to be banned with that in place.

The time for FR as entertainment has passed. We should be in war mode now.

***Well said. We obviously are not in war mode. How do we wake up the owner to the fact that his website has been co-opted? He does not want to confront that reality.

What do you have to do-have signed up the day Jim Robinson created it for your opinions to carry any meaning?
***Apparently. When I suggested the idealogy litmus matrix idea to JimRob he called me a newbie.

"RINO - another name for liberal."

RINO is the most overused term in all of FR. It's become meaningless as there are way too many FReepers who think that if you are not in lock step with them 100% you are a RINO. The term is now laughable.

Did one of your parents smell of elderberries?

Cheers!

Does AFLAC know you caught them in the act? /sarc>

Cheers!

"Let this be a forum where hardcore conservatives gather to..."

You both really need to go establish your own forum where you can set your own rules and be happy.

there just didn’t seem to be any fire in Thompson’s belly for the campaign.
***IIRC, pissant was given a timeout or two for expressing exactly that sentiment. But Libtard trolls roam free, and the RINOs who are symbiotic with them.

wow...guess I’m a troll. I don’t find her terribly attractive.
But then again, I’m more of a meat and potatoes guy.

When I show up on a thread the liberals get scared and run away like bunny rabbits, just like they did every day as little children on the recess playground.

The attitudes and behaviors associated with Christ are love, humility, compassion, patience, kindness, selflessness, being a good servant-leader.

These attributes of Christ are very often used to mislead people. For instance, the homosexual lobby will often point to Christ and say things like "Christ says judge not" or "whoever is without sin can cast the first stone". They try to portray Christ as a man of endless tolerance and love for everything who wouldn't possibly condemn homosexual behavior. Your suggestion here seems to be an extension of that kind of thinking.

My question to you is this: do you think the money-changers in the temple saw Christ as a loving, caring, tolerant man who exhibited only patience and kindness, or do you think they thought he was a complete a-hole who spewed nothing but hatred and violence?

Christ was kind and loving toward those who followed Him and those who were lost. To those who were rebellious and disrespectful toward God, He had no problem issuing the severest of smackdowns. Here's the quote from Christ in the Bible that everyone seems to forget: "I have come not to bring peace, but a sword."

***First, I was quoting FR_freak. Second, you obviously haven’t read up on the idealogy litmus matrix proposal so you’re going off half cocked. Third, a quick scan of your posts show that they lack substance. Behold, the new face of conservatism. With folks like you around, FR is will be safe and comfy as an entertainment website.

Do you want us to un-ban him and then re-ban him to make you happy?

Only if you suck him in with sweet talk and apologies ... then a couple of days later start a thread about why you’re banning him again. And ping the whole forum to it.

Now that’s funny! :P

My message about Fred was no so much lack of fire in the belly as it was lack of conservative record. Regardless, the golden child’s supporters here attacked as if I was satan.

[SIDENET]

I was suspended for 24 hours for posting an obscene keyword.

LOL.

What was it?

[Artemis Webb]

Well you are correct in that I have not read up on the "ideology litmus matrix proposal", nor do I plan to. It's just not entertaining enough. Good luck with that though!

[Artemis Webb]

satan

[Kevmo]

Maybe you should go off and start your own forum where you can post fun pictures and wisecracks and actually be proud of not reading up on the things you comment on so haphazardly.

[mojitojoe]

I disagree with about 90% of what obama wants.
___________
Curious, what is the 10% you do agree with?

[Artemis Webb]

Gee why would I do that when I can stay here on FR and post fun pictures to annoy you?

I like this one!
