I’ve seen another version of this “butthurt” post and I think it’s funny.

You don’t know me and I don’t know you, and I realize it’s entirely possible I’m talking to a Free Republic moderator here, either you or one of the others posting. If you did know me, you’d know why I would never scream “personal stress” or accuse somebody of being “meanie pants.” I live and work in a fairly small community and I have to deal constantly with people asking me to keep so-and-sos name out of the media despite their criminal convictions or drunk driving or whatever. I tell them all, “no dice.” Laws are laws, rules are rules, and if you break them, and you’re a public figure or public official, you’re going to have the publicity that you deserve. I’m the one who people scream is being “mean,” not the one doing the screaming about others being mean.

If Free Republic policy is that people need to post articles in full, I will comply. I’ve said that repeatedly. I’ve been reading the Admin posts and it looks like that’s probably what I need to do. If I’d been asked nicely, that would be the end of the issue.

I hope it’s not terribly difficult to understand why, if I’ve been doing something for nearly three years with only one prior objection I can find until now, I need to make sure I understand the rules before doing something different.

In the meantime, can we all calm down a bit here?

Please quit being a Blog Pimp. There, done.

Fisherman to fish, "I caught you because it just wasn't your day." You are caught and we hates us some pimps.

I am perfectly capable of being rude, insulting, obnoxious and irritating all while maintaining a pulse rate in the low sixties and blood pressure under 130/70.

Despite my outre' size and indulgent lifestyle.

Remain calm!

All is well!

I thought you were leaving...

Longest suicide note I’ve seen in a while, and they usually don’t have sequels...

I hope someone makes up your mind for you soon....
