I tried to post the article on the astronomical paper about the return of Odysseus—but got a censorship notice that articles from the Huffington Post aren’t welcome and could not be posted on FR.
Although I have been a member of FR for so long that I no longer remember my first login date, and although I am firmly in the conservative-leaning Libertarian camp, I am brought up short by the inflexible spirit of Know-nothingness that is exposed here, eg. no individual consideration of acceptable material or academic freedom where ideas can be explored.
Which brings me to the question. Does GGG deserve its own site? Is GGG really suited to a site dedicated to political ideological purity? Or am i over-reacting?
it does, but we try to bring “individual consideration of history” to the masses :)
Narrow-interest sites with sporadic postings don't last.
It’s probably a matter of copyright complaint, but occasionally I’ve seen the “not welcome here” message for various (usually new to me) sources. There’s probably a huge-assed lawsuit accumulating because of the selective enforcement of the copyrights — IOW, FR gets targeted by the scummy leftwing thugs, who then leave alone the other violators. It’s easy to find the evidence — just look at any pulled topic (if it was around long enough, it’ll be in the Google cache or the Web Archive) or do a search on the title, find the original source, and along with it find the many, many other places on the web where its excerpted (or posted in entire).
But anyway, I don’t worry my pretty little head about such things. And I don’t worry my real one either. ;’)
