Perhaps we should jointly discuss this with the moderator, so that we can have some clarification.
So...you would like to publicize your opinions on a **public** message board, but then demand that others ( of your choosing) on this **public** forum not respond?
Wow! What a way to shut down your opposition! This seems very one sided to me.
Metmom, RBKA Democrat,
You have had more experience on this message board than I have. What is the etiquette here? Personally, I would like your opinion about what to do.
You can respond... if you're willing to talk about the issues, and stop calling all schools "indoctrination centers" and other such frantic rhetoric.
“You have had more experience on this message board than I have. What is the etiquette here? Personally, I would like your opinion about what to do.”
I provided wintertime my opinion at 118.
In my view, posting is at your own risk. I do not have the “right” to decide who responds to my posts, nor do I have the “right” to determine the rhetorical techniques used in the posts that do respond, so long as it’s done within the general rules for posting that we all agreed to.
Conversely, I would not intend to respect the wishes of those who would seek to assert some nebulous “right” that does not exist as a tactic to silence debate that doesn’t fit their worldview. Their choices are (1) don’t post, (2) post elsewhere, or (3) take it up with the mods.
If you do those things, no one has any right to demand that you stop posting to them.
Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience.
I see nothing about posting etiquette of *Don't post to me again*.
If one posts here, they can be expected to be answered. As long as the the other poster avoids stalking from thread to thread, or continual personal attacks, I don't see any reason he/she can't post to another's comments.
I have seen the mods support a FReepers request to not post to someone but that has only been in the afore mentioned circumstances, not because of a dislike of someone's "rhetoric".
Sometimes there is something in someone's post that I wish to comment on that hasn't come up before and the only way to address it so people can see the original comment is to respond to the original post. It has nothing to do with the poster but everything with the point I'm trying to get across.
In cases where I no longer wish to have someone respond to me, I simply don't read the posts to me from them. A simple solution and much easier on the blood pressure.
