In an unusual move conservative chat site Free Republic announced today that it has banned all parody postings.
According to a representative of Free Republic, "We had to do something. An informal survey showed us fully 75% of all postings were amateur attempts at parody."
He went on "And it is a stretch to call these things parody. Parody isn't just making up crazy stuff and putting it into the mouths of people you don't like."
A frequent poster on the web site, DManA approves of the move. "Everyone loves to be tricked, fooled, and made a fool of. That's just human nature. But, I mean, come on. I'm just barely clinging to my sense of reality as it is."
TOPICS: Cheese, Moose, Sister; Chit/Chat; Humor

Good rule. Hope you are doing the same for the hundreds of other abusers today.

Who is this so called *representative of Free Republic*?
We only act when we are instructed by a czar.
