Threat Matrix : Code of Conduct

Please pay close attention:
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES

There will be NO bashing any mods, it will be taken private or there will be NO MORE Threat Matrix !!! That comes from the top!

Please everyone here review the following rules, they are not posted just for fun, they must be adhered to!

Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.

Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.

Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.

Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.

Do stay on topic - FR has varied topics for whatever you need to say

Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it

We cannot stress the following enough:
{{{Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic or Threat Matrix not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.}}}

Please advise a phone number or link where I can report a suspicious person. I've called Homeland Security in Atlanta only to get deadends.

"Rapper who applauded 9/11 loses airport gig (TSA)"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "When Bassam Khalaf raps, he calls himself the Arabic Assassin.

On the Web: Khalaf's music Web site. NOTE: This site contains obscene material

A Houston-based rapper said his decision to call himself the "Arabic Assassin" was meant to stir up a bit of controversy in the music business.

The stage persona — along with some incendiary lyrics in one of his songs — also helped get Bassam Khalaf fired this month from his job as a baggage screener at Bush Intercontinental Airport.

"I thought it was kind of ridiculous. What does my music have to do with my job?" Khalaf said Thursday."

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Khalaf doesn't deny that the material can be considered somewhat shocking but said it is an artistic statement and doesn't mean he supports or condones terrorism.

The lyrics on one song, Bringing the Pain, include references to flying a plane into a building on Sept. 11, 2005."

"Dutch extend probe into suspected Islamist group"
Wed 27 Jul 2005 9:37 AM ET
By Emma Thomasson

ROTTERDAM, July 27 (Reuters) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Prosecutors said the case of Nouriddin El Fatmi, arrested in Amsterdam on June 22 allegedly in possession of a loaded pistol, should also be joined to that of the other members of the network dubbed the "Hofstad" group by Dutch intelligence.

Plooy told the court that Rachid Belkacem, a 32-year-old Dutch citizen arrested in London last month and extradited to the Netherlands this week, also had clear links with six of the Hofstad group suspects.

He said the Dutch authorities were seeking to confirm recent media reports that Al Issa had been arrested in Syria. If true, they would seek to question and extradite the man suspected of being the Hofstad group's spiritual leader."
