Perhaps Jim could set up a "dirty old man" forum and put it behind a paywall. Or perhaps YOU could buy some bandwidth, start your very own site, and run it any way you like.
THAT is how conservatives do things in a capitalist society.
Just ask Mr. Robinson.

I hate the idea of censorshipNo you don't otherwise you wouldn't have spend your post talking about censorship and how to punish people who didn't do what you wanted.

ooohhh. Touched a nerve, did I? Not at all. I am just pointing out that we, as conservatives don't usually get into the business of trying to tell others how to run THEIRS.
The success of our society has been due, in large part, to folks who believe they have a better idea... and then make the investment to implement it.
Suggesting that JimRob invest more of HIS money, and make the site more cumbersome for EVERYONE, to please YOU sounds kind of liberal to me.

I'm saying that the late night flame wars were filled with profanity and personal attacks.
This was an unmoderated board for years... Why do think we got the mods?

My point is that I know guys that could swear like a sailor but were honest as day was long, generous, would give you the shirt off your back, pillars in the community and treated kids like me with loving kindness and inspired you with vision to go on and excel in life.
I know little holier-than-thou, blue-haired harpies that never swore a day in their life, but were some of the most cutting, conniving, duplicitious, manipulative evil wenches I have ever met in my life.
God doesn’t like swearing, but he doesn’t like a cutting tongue or conniving manipulation either. Life is often more complicated than it seems.

Racism is ugly and completely unacceptable here, imho. I have hit the abuse button a number of times as a result of what I believe is racism.

One of the problems is that it is so common today. A friend was actually poking gentle fun at me last week end because she has never heard me use bad language. I laughed but I realized what a sad comment it was on our society.

It sounds good to me. Sometimes, imho, it is as or more effective to self-correct. Politely, of course. Some of this may just be a matter of education in manners or even vocabulary, perhaps.

That "you're a liberal" is almost as juvenile as the "I'd hit it" including the pictures of scantily clad women. I didn't call you a liberal. I said that your suggestion concerning the operation of a business owned by someone else "sounds kind of liberal TO ME".
Obviously, you like to squeal "I'm a victim" at every post you don't like, and you keep evading the issue of your nanny tendencies concerning the operation of JimRob's site.
I simply suggested that if you have a plan that you believe would work better than what we have here, do it.
Seems to me that I am the one who touched a nerve.

I never heard my mother us profanity. My father had one profane thing that he said when he was truly upset. It was a profanity rather than a vulgarity. Nothing else, but it was a doozy, a real triple threat.

Sure. I am not saying that people who use off color language are inherently better than people who don't. I
am saying that the rule against profanity is a good thing, since the site owner chooses to wink at violations of the rule, I am suggesting that Freepers exercise some self restraint out of respect for others' sensibilities and to keep the conversations out of the gutter.
(This will be my last ping to Jim on this thread. He's gotten a couple from me and should be aware that he will be mentioned as the thread continues.)

Pinging me to Jim? Seriously bad form dude. Wow.
It’s Jim’s forum, let’s just let him run it as he pleases.

I note that you managed to eloquently express your contempt for blogpimps without resort to even a single vulgarity, obscenity, or profanity.
Your post provides an example to which we can all aspire.
