Reminder: No profanity, no racism, no personal attacks, no threats, no violence, etc.

Some of this is starting to creep into our forum again, hence the reminder.

Debate the issues all you want, but please don't make it personal. Keep it clean, above board and above belt.

Also, whether pro or con, keep the q stuff off our regular forum threads. Post it on the q thread in chat/conspiracy. But again, keep it clean, don't make it personal, no name calling, no attacks, no threats, no violence.

Don't be a TROLL. Stay on topic, don't flame, don't engage in flamewars, feuds, cross-thread arguments, stalking or harassment.

If you don't like the subject or topic of the thread to the point you become abusive or trollish, stay off it.

The rules also apply to FReepmail. Do not send profane, insulting, threatening, harassing or otherwise unwanted or abusive messages.

If someone says stop, stop.

Do not harass or pester the mods.

Thanks

would calling a person a leftist commie be considered cursing? Oh never mind...MERRY CHRISTMAS JIM Have a blessed day with you and yours....wait is Jesus a curse word? Baby it’s cold outside? okay I’ll stop.

Those rules and guidelines concerning profanity, threats, violence, (and so forth), are certainly exemplary and praisworthy, and should be adhered to unflinchingly and without fail by all FReeper posters.   However, I wanted to ask for a clarification about a somewhat gray area.   After seeing the following photos, are there any FR rules against waterboarding?

There are also the rabid anti-smokers, and the virulently anti-pitbull ers, and then there is the inevitable “donorcycle” comment on every single m/c thread.

Some post exactly the same thing, every time, on every thread.

Really people, don’t you have an original thought in your heads?

Just venting. Thanks Jim and John, this place makes the interweb a much better place.

[Salvation]

Ditto!

[Salvation]

And stick to the subject of the Original post!

[SecondAmendment]

Thank you Mr. Robinson, the free use of four letter words as of late makes FR look like DU.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and to all fellow FReepers.

Even after all this time I STILL don’t get why some post on a thread and belittle those that are on it.

Aren’t there enough threads on FR to interest them?

BTW, good tagline, LucyT.

[Mr.Unique]

You mean comments that falsely accuse people of things?

Yeah.

[lastchance]

I know I am paranoid but perhaps wisdom dictates post 119 and your response find their way into a black hole. These days too many eyes are looking for any excuse to defame good people.

[The Westerner]

Yes, sir.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Well, that means I can’t say what I want for Putin anymore, but what the heck. FR is still a good place to be.

[The Westerner]

Merry Christmas and Happier New Year, Frank. Don’t stay away too long!

[The Westerner]

Very good news about your econ students! Impressive that a Capitalist keeps a teaching job in your state!

Maybe we need a sign to be posted:

I guess we “newbies” should form our own club. We’ll start a new trend, by wearing socks that don’t match.
