Free Republic is a family oriented forum, or at least we try to be classier than your normal everyday run of the mill, slap 'em together forum. We have seen a significant increase in the amount of risqué comments and graphics being posted lately. Please tone it back a notch or two. The 'aw not this **** again' graphic and bared breasts are inappropriate. Lets remember, were Free Republic, not some wanna be site, and certainly, were not some liberal chat site. Lets keep our standards high. Strive for excellence. For the most part, we are educated, responsible adults. A simple comment to that effect will suffice. We don't need to see F*** or s***. The English language is a great tool; learn to use it. It really lowers your credibility as a poster when you resort to profanity and flames. It takes finesse to make your point without using these tactics.
Again, there are way to many vanities. We dont need your one thought as an individual thread. Post it on a related thread. Also, you all might want to curb your super bowl outrage. Its starting to get out of control, (see above). Please, use restraint. We dont really need to see the picture again, or a graphic description of the event.
And, please search, too many duplicates lately, use the original title to prevent duplicates and provide a link when you can. Lastly, there has been a significant increase in trolls (hugh and series). Several of you have freepmailed us with troll abuse via freepmail. Let us know if via abuse reports you receive anything like this, likewise on your state boards.
Thanks for your time. The Cool Admin Moderator
. . . I've read are the same as using the actual words, since it's perfectly obvious given the first letters and number of *s. Thoughts?
Well be good.
Promise.
Well be good.
Promise.
FRNCC - "Wardrobe Malfunction" by Robert Hahn
Secretary Rumsfeld is almost hilarious in the way he uses 1950's language to swear. His is an extremely sophisticated act, and one thing it shows us is how many of the taboos that used to restrain people's behavior are gone now. When I was a child, adults of a certain social class did not say 'Damn' or 'Hell' in public. All of that is gone now. We've all seen corporate CEO's spew the f-word in meetings as if it's an everyday word, the way Rumsfeld says, "Oh, goodness gracious no."
