Sez who?
Is this an official policy of Free Republic?
If so, where in the by-laws is it explicitly and unambiguously delineated?
You must ping each and every person who you refer to-even in the most oblique, peripheral manner-or refrain from alluding to them in any way whatsoever.
Funny, because I've never come across that particular rule.

Funny, because I've never come across that particular rule.Funny, it's right on this thread.
And I'm sure we've had this discussion before.

You know the rules. When speaking of another poster, make sure you ping that poster.

The rule about pinging other people that you mention has always seemed silly to me but is apparently a real rule around here. It isn't as if the "victim" can't read the same post that everybody else is reading. But nevertheless, there is always some schoolyard snitch type who will ping that poster for you, along with a nagging admonishment for not following the rules. I think the rule is mainly used now as a pretense for getting folks suspended.
