Sorry, but at this level of abuse, I think it does.
"This is just a message board for interested contributors, and this is how they work. It is not a research seminar being given by you, that people should respect, listen quietly, and behave mannerly."
LOL, I think you need to read the forum rules again:
"Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience. Free Republic is a non-commercial site. Please do not post advertising, solicitations, spam or any other commercial messages. Do not spam us with links to your own site. No one likes spam."
And the key word is "contributor". Real contributions from the "seagulls" are few and far between.
"Are you sure you've been here awhile? It would seem odd to me if it were otherwise."
Check my home page. Like the "Abuse" button, one click takes you there. AFAIK, there is no way to change the "signup date" listed there.
Okay, I see now that you’re just an immature whiner. Good luck with your delicate and easily offended silliness.
