The zot newbies crap is getting old.
I guess we need to imitate the intolerance of DU and the way they ban anyone who doesn't 'yelp' like Former CandyDate Howie the 'screamer' Dean?

USED to be, people were banned, and posts were pulled around herte for being in violation of posting guidelines. RECENTLY, there seems to be a lot of subjective banning and pulled posts, for posting anything that calls into question, the 'straight' and 'true' path of our own brand of political correctness.

It makes for a lot of 'mee too' and 'praise the Lord' comments that flow from the 'atta boy' forms of conservatism, but lacks the 'investigate, confront and discuss the facts' flavor of the old 1998 circa freerepublic.

WHY pull all the posts we don't like?
Is it because "their" ideas are so powerful we cannot laugh at them, ignore them or simply confront them head on, in a NON flame-baiting style? Doubtful.

Getting folks banned, and their posts pulled is apparently become the new bloodsport around here. It makes it hard to get a straight take on news events or devolute spin machine commentaries of the press from our own spin.

It was good of you to say something positive about it.

Knee jerk Zotters or those calling anyone a troll with whom they do not agree are our "Special Olympic" freepers.

WHY pull all the posts we don't like?

It's not a matter of liking or disliking. I very seldom watch FOX and couldn't care less. The new FReeper who posted this thread without a link has not been back since. The thing that is really puzzling is why the Admin Moderator is leaving it up?
