As an alternative, let me suggest:
"Eternal Vigilance: the new face of Free Republic."
We've had ten days of officially sanctioned thuggery from a handful of posters whose only evident accomplishment is an ability to be relentlessly nasty on a bulletin board. There has been no suggestion that their endless stream of insults and threats might violate FR's remarkably malleable policy against personal attacks.
Jim, I hope you'll give some thought to what you've done here. It goes far beyond eliminating a few Giuliani spammers.
I think this will be my last post for a while.

We live in Interesting Times. Hope to see you around again.
And you have it exactly backwards here. NautiNurse initiated this personal attack against Eternal Vigilance. But you can't be bothered to get to the bottom of that before making this claim.
THAT was the real problem with a certain element on FR - misrepresentations, distortions, projection and out-and-out falsehoods. And you've joined them in doing such. So pardon me if I don't cry about your leaving us for awhile, if you're gonna make bald-faced lies like this one.
Sorry to see you take a sabbatical. You’re an asset to FR, and always have been.

C'mon, you two, which are we, vile insane hypocritical name-calling sociopaths, or relentlessly nasty name-calling thugs?
I wish it had stopped at elimination of Giuliani spammers (those who could not resist lying about other candidates). That was a noble cause, IMHO.
And I sure hope you'll return.
