“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.

Topics? TOPICS? We don't need no steenking topics!

Topics are the hobgoblins of little minds. Some dude said so. What is this, the Spanish Inquisition?

[governmentstillsucks]

This is the first day of September. What a perfect occasion to unveil FR's latest creature of parody: Ben O' Rourke. Some of you may recognize him.




Hey, look, I'm just a guy watchin' yer back, m'mkay? I'm not some ideologue or pundit, a'right? Not a pundit. I do what I do.

Look, I'm here for the folks--got it? That's you guys, and gals, and transgendered--'cuz I'm OK with that. No judgments here.

Look, you want to get out of this Free Republic hate speech kind of thing, OK? Don't ideologue things; it isn't how you want to live your life. You got it? The far-right ideologues on the Net are always sayin, "Yeah, yeah. You know, kill all the immigrants, deport 'em." It's nonsense. Complete nonsense.

Meanwhile, MEANWHILE, the oil companies are gougin' you. They are. They're gouging. How much is gas now, like $4.47 a gallon?

I mean, c'mon! Lenny in Kansas just wants to lay concrete. That's what he does. Think HE cares about politics or "economic theory?" Lenny's doin' good just to get to work every day. Ya got it, all you oil company pinheads?

And just to mention, the O'Rourke air fresheners, dream catchers, and "Be A Good Guy" T-shirts are still available on Benorourke DOT com.

After all - you're still here.

That's your choice...and your choice to get snarky/personal.

I am well aware that you can push a button on me whenever you feel like it. I accept the posted terms of use, but I don't cower.

We used to have a topic. We lost it in a move.

We used to have some marbles, too.

[Tax-chick]

Penguins are a good topic.

[Tax-chick]

Would anyone like to go swimming?

[fanfan]

OK!

[Tax-chick]

LOL! I had to look at the picture in a separate window, for some reason.

We’re getting organized for our week at the lake (leaving tomorrow afternoon). I’m going to worry about the pets!

[fanfan]

A week at the lake sounds lovely.

Do you have someone coming over to feed the animals?

[Tax-chick]

Anoreth’s friends from down the street will feed everything (1 cat, 2 gerbils, 2 lizards, 4 fish), but I’m still a little concerned that Wednesday will get the gerbil cage open or knock the fishbowls down, or that the crickets will get loose all over the house ...

We’re taking the baby lizard with us - can’t ask the girls to mince crickets for it.

[sauropod]

Not a bad parody.

[rottndog]

Nice to see the penguins made the move.

[Delacon]

btt

[Tax-chick]

The thread doesn’t work without penguins.

How are you?

[Frank Sheed]

Magenta is the new purple...

[fanfan]

We’re taking the baby lizard with us - can’t ask the girls to mince crickets for it.

LOL. Eeeeewww.

[Tax-chick]

Yeah, and someone said this morning that it looks like the anoles have laid another egg. I suppose you can’t get them spayed or anything ... well, we don’t even know which is the male and which is the female!

[Tax-chick]

“Raspberry Kamikaze” ... it goes with her car.
