I suggest everybody interested in the reputation and the future of freerepublic read this post.
Indeed.
It demonstrates how bloggers are degenerates and how they are basically crazy.
I suggest anyone who wants to regard this as a forum that actually lives up to the audacious name of Free Republic should start respecting Freedom of Speech of others and not just for themselves, simply bypass postings by authors one does not like, allow others to read what they like, and, last but not least, not encourage self-appointed, repeatedly vulgar, occasionally obscene, and usually off-topic, hall-monitoring trolls of limited erudition like humblegunner.
