You are unlikely to get banned for discussing policy issues as long as you are not offensive, do not use profanity, do not engage in personal attacks, are not racist, and do not advocate violence.
I really don’t know if there is a specific set of rules and/or algorithms that will keep you in good stead here. I don’t agree with a lot of freepers on many points. In fact, I know I don’t agree with the majority on several. I will sometimes pop in to disagree, but I don’t belabour the point, I have managed to remain here for many years. Just one tip, the more you disagree with the majority here, the more courteous one must be...
... and thou must not criticize George W. Bush.
Speaking from experience.
“You are unlikely to get banned for discussing policy issues”.

Hi,
I didn’t get that impression looking at some of the conversations tagged “HomosexualAgenda”.
One such thread is this one:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2613935/posts?q=1&;page=51
There’s a member of FR on that thread who’s been here for seven years, antiRepublicrat, who (as far as I can tell) was being denounced for advancing the Homosexual Agenda.
Simple question: How can any poster, antiRepublicrat included, survive intact on FR for SEVEN YEARS if they are actively pushing the Homosexual Agenda?
Jim Robinson responded on that thread:
“If you continue pushing the homosexual agenda on FR, you’ll find out who the victim is. You.”
Which I thought was an EXTREMELY odd way to respond to someone who’s been posting on his site for seven years presumably without being “exposed”.
Perhaps that poster has been advancing the homosexual agenda elsewhere on FR - perhaps not.
Based only on what I saw in that thread, it struck me as a rather odd intervention.
If a seven year member can be threatened with a ban simply for being a pragmatist instead of a dogmatist, then I do wonder exactly how LITTLE you have to be off-message in order to get the boot.
