Big Ceegar!!!
“In some cases, this might be accurate, but it still is not a direction I would like to see Free Republic heading down.”
Agreed 1000%!
Often I see myself pulled in that direction, but I restrain myself from hitting the post button out of respect for...FR, Jim Robinson and his staff who have worked so hard in providing us this forum, myself, all other Freepers, and the person that I’m posting to (even if they don’t deserve it).
FR has certainly changed in that respect from its earlier years. As time has passed so have the lives of some of the earliest posters.....All lot of them are with their Maker!
I’ve noticed that although some freepers will slip now and then, the most agregious offenders are the same people over and over again......they also seem to be the loudest in proclaiming their conservative purity to the exclusion of any contrary opinion.......boorish behavior if you ask me!
Maybe the admin mods could enforce a 2-3 day to week suspension for those that regularly exhibit this behavior?
I hate the idea of censorship, but Conservatives, if they are true to their conservatism should be self restrained....if not, would it be out of line to remind them of that important Conservative trait?
Here’s an idea. Bookmark this thread and when we see a post with gratuitous profanity, paste in a link. I think raising awareness is the only way that has a chance of raising the level of the discourse.

No 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.
