“Do not post to me”

Free Republic ^ | 8/28/07 | Admin Moderator

[Admin Moderator]

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this.

1. It's impossible for us to enforce.
2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.
3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.
4. Thick skin helps.
5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would not.

I try to respond to most people when they write me, I think it’s rude to just ignore people. I sometimes feel ignored, I will write all this stuff, and sometimes no one will respond at all. It’s kind of sad.

...you don’t need to always get the last word, in fact, if tried, it could drive a person crazy.

We've been trying for years to get the last word in....actually did it once when the UT ran into the end of the internet.

But I love you rodeo-mamma...

I went to Kindergarten in Quilcene there were 12 kids in the class.

I don’t remember my first day either. I do remember quite a few things from back then, but that first day eludes me. Then again, since I was only 2, how much of what I remember from then is reliable?

We can, strangely enough, get Vernor’s here in Dallas. You just gotta know where to go.

Do tell! Didn't find any last January (to tell the truth, I was too busy to look *\;-) -- hope it's not some shady back-alley "distributor"... *\;-)

Near the Adam's Mark? *\;-)

In fact, the last word ever written on the Net has been proven to be 'flapdoodle.' It's a scientific fact, people!

[sionnsar]

I was about 4. Significant difference, I think.

And with that, I'm off for the night.

See y'all tomorrow, I hope.

Heheh, Spiderboy just came in here with a lego creation of what he calls ‘SpongeBot.’ LOL, it’s a pretty good facsimile! (And, we don’t even have cable.)

[stephenjohnbanker]

Uh, yep!

[rottndog]

Please forgive my forgetfulness....

The End Of The Internet

[rottndog]

Good Night sionnsar!

[rodeo-mamma]

I sometimes wonder if people become rude because they think it is the only way others will respond, negative attention is better then no attention.

[governmentstillsucks]

Uh, yep!

OK, so I'll throw out one I just recently saw: "They Came to Cordura."

[RosieCotton]

Just have to point out...the Hobbit Hole got there first!

Congratulations, you filled it up!

[RosieCotton]

Sponge Bot...I like that. ;-)

Rudeness, and really, crudeness is provocative. Are we more interested in the plain folk or the Paris Hiltons of the world?

I think your basic instinct is right: we've lost our English manners. Whereas fifty years ago, had we received a phone call from a wrong number, we would say, "I'm sorry, but I think you have the wrong number," now we say, "F**k you, wrong number!" is disturbing.

[DJ MacWoW]

Oh Lord! Vernors! REAL ginger ale! *sigh* They don’t sell it here.

[rottndog]

Yeah, but the UT made it en vogue.

[TASMANIANRED]

Never in my wildest dream.

Butter purists unite.
