Keep up the good work.FreeRepublic is my bestest friend!!!!
And don't let the door hit you...
Keep on freepin' on, Jim. Thanks for all you do.
Chook, don't make me bust a puppet in yo *ss.
NOT!
That rumor last week about me trading my bed pan for a sand box was pure BULLSHIT!
OH NO! Not an independent organized e-mail network. Oh however will Freerepublic survive in the face of such an onslaught?
I have one sugestion and one question for these dolts
1 question, who's the pivotman?
2 sugestion, well lets just say it involves a goat.
Of all the thousands of people how have pasted through here or are still here how many have been banned? less than 1% I'd say.
Talk about a bunch of losers.
Hopefully there is a misunderstanding between oldfart and his wife. This commandment was limited to the Amalekites, a nation which no longer exists.
There are a small number of Jews who equate today's Palestinians with the Amalekites. Last I heard, there were two organizations of such Jews quite properly included on the U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organizations. Needless to say, I hope, is that their organizations are outlawed in Israel.
The relevance for this thread, if there is any, concerns the question of whether calling for civilians to be massacred should result in the poster being thrown off of FR. The answer is that it is a tough call. And the FR moderators have to make that tough call frequently and without a whole lot of time for back and forth deliberation. As far as I can see, the effective policy is to allow sarcasm and overstatement while stopping serious and considered support of mass murder. I like that policy, I appreciate the work the moderators do, and I don't see any possibility or need for moderators to be completely consistent.
I'm glad that I haven't been banned here, even though Jim has pulled threads of mine. Frankly, it makes me almost sick to my stomach sometimes here to see how easily so many "conservatives" are so willing to ignore their Constitution and the principles that this country were founded upon, choosing, rather, to just parrot the Party line (and not seeing the Actions of the Party, rather than the rhetoric). But again, in a truly free society that's a part of the freedom. I personally think that it's a major part of why America is failing, but that's the fault of those over the decades who have failed to educate We the People to know better.
excellent post! you stated my sentiment perfectly.
I thought this thread had been posted because of a rather paranoid, anti-FR, email campaign to multiple FR members.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
It's very disheartening.
I agree with your mission statement, but, if an elected member of the Republican Party (and there are many) doesn't agree with and/or work toward these goals, why should they be supported with our vote?
In short my political philosophy is simple; Liberals should be defeated, whether they be a Republican or Democrat.
Those posters who are members of the "Republican Party, right or wrong" clique, are just as wrong and fanatical in their support of their party as the Klintonites were...
Jim checks over everything.
I can make a comment in an abuse report while he is sound asleep, asking him to check on something. When he gets up, everything he is asked for, he does. Occasionally he comments on something that was done. Occasionally he overturns something.
But he does, in fact, review everything.
Thanks, AM
I think most reasonable folks have decided FreeRepublic is a great conservative website. I've taken a few short trips over to this Liberty Forum. It's the gathering place for fringe rightwing extremists, with the usual crowd of misfits, malcontents and militants hanging out. They have found their home, now let them dwell in it, as they spew their vile and vicious bulls**t. You know Jim, these people who are angry at everything in life, really miss out on the best in life. They proudly display their arrogance and ignorance as badges of honor, for all to see, but its really an albatross around their own necks. What they see as nirvana is really hell.
It might be necessary, it might be wise.
I was responding to the E Mails statement that Among the reasons for this back channel of communication are to help folks like [name omitted]: a)find new and other forums on the Internet where their fine writing can be effective (like LibertyForum.org and LibertyPost),, which would seem to imply that its open to all, in contrast to FRs censorship. Its not.
I admit my interest in posting there has waned. Intentional or not, Id suggest that their method of admitting beta testers "by invitation" has imposed a defacto if not intentional censorship of the viewpoints expressed.
Woof, somebody is sure full of himself this morning.
LOL...I doubt it. DL is more like a hit and run propaganda artist. He/she comes into a thread, posts some canned statement, then watches the fireworks begin. Or not. I've never been sure. DL rarely ever replies to anyone. However, DL's posts DO tend to liven up a thread. <G>
I didn't say why this thread had been posted, only that this sort of response contributes to a sense of feud. If there were such a "campaign", is this how you would go about calming it down?
You've been around for a while. How many of these "Future of FR" threads have you seen?
