FR is run by cliquish Mods and Freepers that hurl insults and falsehoods who FB you if you don't agree.

Posted on 05/28/2020 3:36:32 PM PDT by fightin kentuckian

The rules say "be considerate" most of the Freepers are anything but, constantly hurling innuendo, names, and insults. But it's my fault or something like that so my threads get pulled without any explanation. And then the mods call me "thick". That's considerate?

I'm a rock solid conservative, retired, 24 year Army Vet, and still work for the Army. I'm a lifetime member of the VFW and NRA. I'm a 20 year contributor to FR and the mods wont even answer a question, but instead call me names and insult me.

Plus the tone of the poster may not be as hostile in their own mind as it reads in plain text.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
True...
I have a sardonic/sarcastic (in a nice way) personality and a lot of my ‘conversation’ depends on body language, eye rolls, etc etc..

The ONLY thing that comes out here is the words and something (as you say) said in jest can be taken as hostile if the person reading it isn’t on the same page.

I suppose a self correction is available BUT I am far to old to ‘redo’ my charming (or not so) personality...<: <: <:

A 24 year Army vet that can’t take being called names? Come on, Sunshine, I’m Air Force and even I can take a name calling!

I am so disappointed! 184 posts and the visuals are so lame. I clicked on this thread to see the visuals, a zot flash, taunting gifs, and jpeg funnies! Whadda disappointin’ ... things no longer get hugh and series with these lame opusi. Where’s Laz with a good guip? where’s all the clever toons? Shucks, can’t even get a good opus thread anymore. Not even one bunny with a pancake ...

LOL, yes! Some of my best comedy work has been wasted because a thread has been pulled.

Did you scrub the part where you wanted to dump the bill of rights and deprive the accused of due process? And I think you might want to scrub the part where you call for rioters to loot and burn down cities. And I think I’ve read somewhere that our Lord Jesus Christ was more a King than corporal and doesn’t like his name used profanely.

I was on my phone and its history function is limited and it already dropped out. You might ask rlmorel who said he participated in the thread.

Now it makes sense! Frightened Kentuckian sent me an F-Bomb laden FMail, calling me all kind of names, telling me to leave Gray Whiskers alone. When FK responded he told me to NEVER contact him again.

FK(Foul mouth name caller) and GW are one in the same, or get this, a clique! The irony.

I once posted the epithet “Newbie” to a FReeper who was blessed with a late ‘90s born-on date. It took like five apologetic follow-up posts before he/she calmed down. I was trying to be funny; he/she didn’t see it that way . . .

I never said anything about dumping the Bill of Rights and the Rights of the accused. Respectfully, you read something into it that I didn’t say. Yes I hate “the system”, the two tier justice system and that was my main rant. And I called for the cops to be arrested and charged. That is well within their due process rights. I never called for them to be lynched. I was saying that if the cops had been arrested and charged, the riots might have been mitigated to some extent. In all honesty, if you or I accidentally killed someone we’d be arrested and have to post bail as a matter of procedure.

I did use an old phrase that is generally means that something has been around for a long time. That phrase “since he was a corporal” was not meant to be offensive. If it offended you I apologize and I wont use it again.

And what about the other 4 or 5 posts that were yanked. Why were they yanked. There was not profanity or disparaging attacks.
