Your tag line reflects well on your post, apply your post to Jim’s rules and where does it fall?
Not a fan of banning, however when the majority of some posters is just slander, and pointless memes I begin to rethink that for a moment
Good thing I couldn’t care less what you think or rethink, isn’t it? 😏
What’s the difference between Allegra’s “pointless memes” and others’ relentless, regurgitated daily posts about “Ukraine is winning?”
A picture meme of a Sleestak is now slander? I’m sorry, but some of the stuff I see promulgated in some of the links in these daily updates go far beyond the ‘wit’ of a movie picture.
The common Sleestack is a well-known denizen of Luzern nightclubs, where it hides among groups of young women, hoping to avoid deportation for desertion from the Great Sleestack War.
“Not a fan of banning, however when the majority of some posters is just slander, and pointless memes”
I agree. Banning an individual’s voice because one does not like it is not a conservative’s stance.
As I have stated before:
“I respect freedom of thought and expression of each person to hold their own opinion even if differing from mine. Therefore, all Freepers also are entitled to hold their own viewpoint as well. Absolutely, it is not my intention nor responsibility to “change” or form opinions for someone else.”
Even Worldtraveler once upon a time in Comment #62 states “seems to me a “forum” which is free can indeed feature disagreements.

Also, Comment #60 stating: “is labeled with the kinds of vocabulary which would never describe but always insult a conservative.”
THAT is the point:
However, the point being in this discussion is NOT the intolerance of a differing opinion: “UMCRevMom is looking good in that pic!; “She got her hair done. LOL”; “Hey Mum;” “Rev Mom is a CIA shrill. Spit.” And, this is from just this thread!
The personalized demeaning commenting happened with so much frequency Mr. Robinson was required to re-post a commenting reminder:
“Please knock-off the abusive posts, NAME-CALLING, TAUNTING, trolling, stalking, flame-baiting, INSULTS, religious insults, flames, threats, ill-wishes, HARRASSING & ANNOYING posts, unwanted posts & FReepmail, etc, etc, etc

And as well as stated by Worldtraveler once upon a time in Comment# 60: “I try to cite references and often offer URLs and such rather than “look it up” or make assertions without additional documentation.”
