A thought on how to change the tone around here.
3/15/2016 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 03/15/2016 3:39:50 PM PDT by Lazamataz

I have been through several of the Free Republic "Silly Seasons", aka, the Republican presidential primaries. Every one of them is rough, but this is the worst one of all.

I'm guilty of being a dog, but even this dog can learn new tricks. Here is my proposal:

LET NO ONE SPEAK ILL OF ANYONE ELSES CANDIDATE. ONLY POST POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT *YOUR* CANDIDATE.

I think that would just about eliminate the rancor.

We won't get 100% participation. But heck, if we got even a fraction of that, Free Republic would be a lot nicer a place, in this, the worst of all "Silly Seasons".

I pledge to do this. Who else is on board? Chime in!

MORE RULES!!? - Everywhere we go! Rules! Rules! Rules!
Most of us act nice don’t we?!! If everyone would just go
by the GOLDEN RULE, it would be nice. - Just report anyone
not acting nice to the authorities on FR! - The main thing
is that almost EVERYONE wants to be the BIG BOSS, even
Twinkie is often tempted to want to be the BIG BOSS!

Not me. I won’t promise not to speak ill of another FReeper’s preferred candidate, but I will strive not not to insult them for doing so.

Who with his eternal need for a shave and lantern jaw was obviously patterned after Dick Nixon.

unfortunately some, because of their temperament, enjoy arguing and debating because it energizes them and makes them feel more “alive”. They like to challenge others and will find it very difficult to control themselves.

Well, at least tone it down. After all, our goal should be to keep a Democrat out of the White House. Think: Supreme Court appointments.

I have issues with all the GOP candidates. But, let’s not commit suicide.
