Sure the comments were not tame at all....but when I joined, VANITIES were not allowed.
Especially in the “news” forum.
Clicking on a thread you think is a news headline, and turns out to be just another Freeper lecturing how awful FR has become, is not my thing.
It is a bore. Take it to management.
I don’t know why you think that. Vanities were all over the place back then. Tons of unsourced opinion posts.
I agree with you. I really can’t stand the “FR just isn’t what it was in the old days” posts.
If some FReeper doesn’t like what another Freeper is saying they have every right to argue about it in that thread but to start another thread lecturing because everybody doesn’t agree with you is a bore.
