Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think FR etiquette is to ping people if we're talking about them.
If I wanted to “get someone in trouble” I would have hit the “abuse” button. Didn't do that; don't plan to do that.
What I wanted was a decision by Jim Robinson. He's made his decision. His call.
That ends the issue of whether Free Republic ought to officially respond to the Atlantic's claim that “Derbyshire doesn't do the really obvious racist stuff — the stuff that goes up at FreeRepublic.com, for example — like post photos Obama in stereotypical tribal garb with a bone through his nose.”
I won't hide the fact that I'd like to expose that as a liberal lie — several other Freepers have said it didn't happen — but as far as I'm concerned, the issue of an official response has been over since this morning.
In any case, what Sherman Logan is writing now is a lot more interesting and I'd like to hear more of what he has to say.
There was no decision to make. Our policy is, always has been and always will be no racism. To hell with the racist left and the hand-wringing, weak-kneed, girly-men surrender monkey moderates and RINOS (and that includes the NR)!! Rebellion is ON!! Get in or get OUT!!
