Looks like my conversation with Fox5’ s assistant to the General Manager this afternoon had an impact.

YEA! CONGRATS.
Czn you provide any commentary on the call? Did you feel heard? Evidently for them to withdraw it!
You are AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION OF FREEDOM AND FR. CONGRATS.
Conservatives:
A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL FALL.
Since I read Camp of the Saints and consider it in the manner of prophesy, I will heed your recommendation on Coloring the News. Thanks WD.
I’m working on that one.
Look in the back of Popular Science magazine some time in the next few months for my new system if I jump through all the right hoops.
Back when mammals slept in trees, a young law student was lying in her bed late one night, actually in the early morning hours, worrying about this and that, thinking about the boisterous young hick she had just met, with the melody, `Que Sera Sera’ playing in her head. She suddenly kicked off the sheets and knelt by her bed and began to pray . . .
Suddenly the room was filled with light and the tangy odor of sulfur and brimstone! Standing at the foot of her bed, his horns scraping the ceiling, was Satan himself!
“OK, what do you want?” he asked.
Without hesitation she said: “Absolute power.”
He replied, “OK, I’ll change Yale’s grading to pass/fail and give you a law degree. Whether you do anything with it, that’s up to you, but you will get to meet important people. And I’ll give you devilish skills and powers and I’ll get that young goat to marry you.
You will jet around the world and make oodles of cash. I’ll show you how to find information that will scare the daylights out of most of those VIPs you’ll meet.
Eventually you will stand on the threshold of the most important and powerful position in the world: the presidency of the United States of America.
How does that sound, little girl?”
She replied, “Oh that sounds just dishy Mr. Satan! Lucifer—whatever you prefer to be called. Can I be a Marine, too?”
He smiled broadly and said, “Even I can’t make you a Marine or do anything about those, uh, legs. But you can call me `Boss’ because you understand that when you sing your last off-key note, I’m going to haul your fat butt off to H-E-double hockey sticks, to my crib, where you will spend eternity emptying and cleaning my cuspidors of flaming spit, scrubbing the poopy cobblestones with a toothbrush with no bristles—that is, when you’re not roasting on a spit.
I’ve got a long list of things for you to do, don’t worry—I’ll keep you plenty busy.”
So Hillary Rodham pondered this for a while, then a shrewd expression came over her coarse features:
“OK you sly boots you, heh heh heh—what’s the catch, dammit?”
Thank you for posting what I was thinking.
That’s funny.
But how did you know the thread and the post was removed? Did you receive a notice of some kind, or did you have to discover it for yourself...looking for it but it was nowhere to be found.
I am in agreement with your statements. Well said.
You say that intemperate posting is OK among "FRiends on our turf," that's fine -- your point is well-taken.
But you cannot at the same time expect that outsiders looking in at this public forum will interpret those posts the same way that your FRiends will; nor can you legitimately complain when they form a different opinion based on what they see (or when they find what they're hunting for).
And, we don’t parade around in our birthday suits—mostly. But it’s still home and we have a right to act like we are home.
But at the same time, FR has a fair bit of influence on the national political scene. It's a public forum, which means we live in a glass house. Which means that folks can and do pay attention to how we act at home.
I would not think much of patriots who had to vet their wording through 12 layers of globalist controlled media censors before posting.
Nor would I -- and I'm not suggesting that, anyway. On the other hand, I think the fact that we live in a glass house might convince folks to exercise a little decorum. With a little thought, one can make a strong point without throwing red meat to the wolves. And that little bit of extra thought might even make for a more effective point.

Preach it brother. The "teacher's pet" is getting on my last nerve.
Uh..."Speak for yourself John Adlen"
;^)
To the perfect, all things are rotten.
What is an Orbitologist?
Clarification...Liberty and Jim Robinson...not you r9etb.
They deleted it? Uh oh, I hope somebody saved it. They must be afraid of being sued.
I had to chuckle at this. It's true. It's SO true that I avoid any thread about wives, alimony, child support, feminism, men's rights, battle of the sexes, Asian women, etc., etc., etc. It just ain't worth it.
And were it only them, I wouldn't be concerned. But it's not. An outsider who's looking for dirt will be able to find FReepers shoveling what he's looking for, and it's not that hard to find.
FR was influential in the recent immigration debate. So of course FR's opponents are going to look at what FReepers are saying about illegal immigration ... and about illegal immigrants. Some of it isn't very pretty, and it's just what the other side is hoping to see.
Some folks don't want to hear that, and I'm through saying it. But it doesn't make it any less so.
Direct your attention towards Fox5 with a letter instead of bemoaning what minuscule insignificant minutia they use to defame us. The problem here isn't FR. It's Fox5.
You make it easy for them by equivocating.
Later. Time to leave for Walter Reed.
Honestly, it’s a problem. Males feeling sorry for themselves, lamenting that women don’t like them despite their good credit rating! From what I have read, I can’t blame the quality women from looking past, or dumping, these FR beta males.
