Eternal Hope: Thanks.

All I did was note that a radio-talk show host in Milwaukee was canned for using a term: wetb@ck which was used a month later on television in an episode of Green Acres. There was no acrimony/protest regarding that though the talkshow host was off the air for a couple of weeks do to protest. Whatever rule I broke it won't happen again. Thanks for your time, consideration and politeness.

Wrong. He was off the air for a week.

Spikey,

We welcome everyone in FreeRepublic. Usually Newbies don't read the rules and post things with out knowing that they are breaking the rules. Jim Rob will yank it off the threads. Take it as a learning lesson. Lurk around, learn the lingo and enjoy the postings. You may see some exiting gifs and photos especially when the Kitties arrive.

It is usually best for newbies to read and see the responsesbefore posting.

Welcome to FreeRepublic, enjoy your stay...

Kitties, Stand Down...

Sounds like it might have been a "vanity." These are discouraged, although some vanities pass muster--often because they're so well-written and insightful, they're better than MSM anyway. Several Freepers post those semi-regularly, and I always watch for them. Other vanities are just one liners without any discernible purpose except someone just thought they'd post their latest thought. Those often get removed quickly. Vanities can be posted in the "chat" section usually, though.
