Don’t worry. I hate thread nannies. They’ve figured out their own rules as to how people should behave on Free Republic and they enforce them with all the force of the IRS.
I’ve been chided for the same thing. I seldom post an article but sometimes when I do, I have to leave and then come back later to respond to anything I feel needs a response.
I too was unaware of the thread rules.
Don’t post without giving your opinion! Especially if it is a negative story about some popular politician!!
Secret motives you know...
