Am I The Only One that Thinks the Sniveling Admin Weasels Are Ruining FR? (Zzzzzzzot!)

[Eagles Field]

No time for more, before the ZOT!

[rlmorel]

I thought that other thread the person posted was dumb and wasn’t surprised it was pulled.

[rlmorel]

I have no issues with the moderators. I think it can be tough to be fair in this environment, so I cut them slack, generally.

I have been looking for the Grammys live thread.

Is it here, somewhere?

[null and void]

A thread that was literally dead and is now undead...

[southern rock]

You guys need some more current musical references. ;p

[JaguarXKE]

Is that your Briggs Meyers type?

LOL!

[headsonpikes]

Yeah, not to mention the snarling wolverines lurking in the deep woods. He seems ignorant.

Besides, at a mere 18 months old, he’s got little flavour!

Let him fatten up a little.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Kobe died.

Posted thread was inappropriate. Got pulled

[Swordmaker]

This just may be the shortest farewell opus ever posted on FreeRepublic.

Certainly it as poorly considered as Schiff’s and Nadler’s insults to the Senate last week. . . and as likely to go over as well with its target audience.

Can’t say “See ya!” because I suspect we won’t, as I bet you’re not gonna be here much longer. Bye!

[Swordmaker]

I tell ya, being the sous vide thread and Serbian maritime law mod stinks.

I mean when was the last time we had a maritime law ZOT?

It could be worse, you could be the Termite Breeders or Bed Bug Enthusiasts threads mod. . . now those are really sparsely attended threads! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any ZOT from one of those threads. . .

[Swordmaker]

Oooh. . . Where can I order one! My lady would love it!

[Jolla]

Noticed a few comments pulled on the Kobe Bryant stories, most where people were gloating about his and his daughters death (the lords work, glad the rapist got what he deserved) Being flippant or tacky about someones death is not right.

[SunkenCiv]

He can't even see all the critters, because he's on the wrong side of the bend he's gone around.

[higgmeister]

Bang zoom went the Zot! Buh-bye Chief Crazy Eagle.

[higgmeister]

Thanks! And you’re not any of those things.

[higgmeister]

Your asinine “Kobe.” post was the most offensive I’ve seen here in a long, long time—disrespectful, ill-timed, rude, mean, demeaning. It deserved to be pulled, as did you. Want to argue the point with me? Sorry, right now on FR you’re as dead as Kobe. Congratulate yourself.

The part that jacked me up was the communist class warfare statement that the elite create wars to kill poor people in the military. I'll not stomach that idiocy by jingo!

[higgmeister]

And BTW, the fact that you literally had to censor yourself in your own post by putting a little* in a completely acceptable word, just proves that you also think that the rules around here are petty and ridiculous. Otherwise why would you have to do something like that?

OK, I see where you're coming from. That word is usually spelled that way so it will never come up in a web or page search. It is not a good word to use in a mixed, polite, and genteel forum. You want to press the bounds of decency then create your own blog and print any vulgarity you like or just go to DU. Every post and reply there is a scorcher.

{Full disclosure: see my profile to find that my Grandfather, who I never knew, was born in 1870 so my sensibilities may be heightened, but that used to be assumed to bring wisdom.}

You want to press the bounds of decency then create your own blog and print any vulgarity you like or just go to DU. Every post and reply there is a scorcher.

But this is the problem with a lot of posters and mods on this site. Everything is in black-and-white. No nuance. The attitude is you have to be a full blown , prudish, pearl clutching, church lady, or else go to DU. Why does it have to be one or the other? Why can’t we just relax the rules and still be FR? Yes, that attitude requires some emotional maturity and some critical thinking, but we’re capable of it. I think.

[trebb]

Nope - it’s all the deadbeat FReeloaders who still get to post asinine crap that hurts FR - much better if those who don’t help support FR aren’t allowed posting privileges...

Pretty fair and consistent, IMHO. I wish i could give more funding. Unlike FBook, this really is a private site, and if you’re unhappy, then......just go. It’s okay, really, if this isn’t what you want. I don’t come here to push an agenda, or to push the envelope. Just similar minds of now FR friends. So, bye, Felicia.
