Free Republic is Drowning in Vanity Postings--Please Stop (Mod note--we concur)
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 | Kristinn

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.

Doesn’t this one count as a vanity?

You prevented me from posting my e-mail to President Bush (president at whitehouse.gov):

“Life, Liberty - Two months left”

Two months to do what the Executive Order will allow you to do. Please stop trying to get along with the Democrats and “moderate” Republicans. They will vilify you no matter what.

Cut budgets. Fire people. Regulate and kill regulations. Do what ever is in you power to preserve the right to life and liberty, without regard to anything except the *right* thing.

(and take the O’s off the keyboards.)

Agreed.

I posted my post election vanity to my FR page.

People can go look for it if they want to know what I think.

Ironic, you use a vanity to criticize vanities

This should have been posted to an existing thread.

Why don’t we have a section specifically for Vanities?

You people are childish. Kristinn’s point is well-taken except for the babies around here who think they are so important as is what they say.

There is a section for vanities. It’s listed on the right under personal/blogging.

Did you post one of these to everyone else or just to me?

I know just how much Kristinn has done and how much time he has put into our causes, but quite frankly it isn’t his job to tell anyone not to post vanities, that’s the job of someone that has the power to lock or pull them....

Thank you! I was going to post a anti-vanity vanity expressing the need to reduce them.

Might I gently suggest that the Obama highlighted headings be taken down prior to his inauguration? *Donning flame-retardant suit.*

The News is dead. Everything is now opinion. Surrender to the truth.

Totally agree,
We need to stop this emptiness, and begin regrouping.
In the 4 years i have lived in the USA, and the 28 of my existence, Republicans have dominated politics,
Occasionally, we have a democrat in power, to remind us of the free nation that we are, and will always be.
Believe me, “they” are watching us, they are looking for signs of weakness and discord, and we must not show it,
We must speak as one, and unite the entire GOP.
And if we do? We have 4 years to plan this well.

Thank you Kristinn!

These vanities have been driving me crazy for weeks, not to mention slowing down the servers.

I have not seen a single vanity where the author said anything that could not have been said in a post. FR is not a chat room or a blog regardless of what some think.
