Ok, that does it.....TDS Opus!

Ok, that does. Free Republic just crossed the line and I'm through with it.

I just made a post and it was almost immediately pulled. The reason given, "altered headline," has got to be the biggest farce I've ever seen. That headline came right off the video. Instead, I'm willing to bet that because it was critical of Trump and his administration, THAT'S the reason why it was pulled.

I've been contempting this, but your actions have now solidified my decision to leave FR completely. I've been tired of seeing anyone and everyone who is critical of Trump being treated this way. Until you folks come back to your senses. count me out.

I'm done.

“Fair Use” gets risky with altered headlines.

It does seem a bit weak.

Honestly he isn’t leaving much. Not nearly the fun banter it once was and only a fraction of the headlines. Don’t know the number of posts daily but it is nothing like the good old days. All items go through phases and this one has lasted longer than most.

Before folks write their opus, they need to read Libbylu’s opus to see how it’s supposed to be done. Go out with style, for Heavens sake!

I had a couple of mine pulled but no biggie ... there are a lot of trolls and keyboard warriors here ... put some dirt on it and get back on the playing field.

This comment might get pulled ...

You don't understand! You coulda had class. You coulda been a contender. You could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what you are.

You've misspelled "dung".

That's not true. Every day, there are articles posted on FR from the NY Times, The Hill, Politico, Mediaite, and a host of other anti-Trump, anti-Republican, anti-American sources. The FReepers posting this stuff do it every day all the time and generally don't get their articles pulled.

You must have done something without knowing it. Have you asked the admin for more details why your article was taken down?

Chapter 32, sub-section A, line 12: “Thou shalt not alter headlines, captions, or tags, under pain of death.”

The whole Zot thing has always been silly. Anyone who is kicked off can come right back with a new name and IP address.
The FR has definitely changed from its early glory days. A new user interface would help. And the money soliciting is tiresome.
