Free Republic is Drowning in Vanity Postings--Please Stop (Mod note--we concur)

Enough already. Please.

Vanities used to be well thought out, researched and/or funny and somewhat rare. Now the vanities consist of whatever crap pops in someone's head and they are drowning out whatever news is being posted.

I'm not the forum police, but please add you're rant, joke or pearl of wisdom to an ongoing thread.

[kristinn]

Thank you.

Hey, is your post a vanity?

[MarkeyD]

I got a lot of grief when I posted to a vanity asking that they be stopped.

[madison10]

Isn’t this a vanity post?

[CaribouCrossing]

Is this the vanity to end all vanities? ;)

[al baby]

So you posted another one thats just peachy

[smokingfrog]

I second the motion. All in favor say Aye!

[fzx12345]

Vanity of Vanities, All is Vanity.

(I agree in principle, but I think we’re all just too drunk to care right now.)

[justlurking]

Oh, the Hugh Vanity!

[HokieMom]

BTTT! Drowning, indeed.

Kristinn:

Here, here! FR should just rename itself as “my 2 cents” if this keeps up!

[mplsconservative]

You’re welcome. Two vanities in five years. No more, no way, no how.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Tsk, tsk. Practice what you preachest.

[Old Sarge]

I was told by The Highest Authority, not to protest vanities.

You would be wise to do the same.

[libh8er]

.. and all against it say so in your own vanity posts !

[americanophile]

[svcw]

So you write a vanity to tell people to stop posting vanities?
LOL

[al baby]

It will die down in a day or so we are all a bit ticked off right now

[cabojoe]

Thanks kristinn. It had to be said. Also, there used to be an informational thread for new posters that would be posted every once in a while that would probably be useful about now.
