This is not DU!
Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!
Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.
We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.
Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can't destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other. We are here as allies to fight for God, family, country, and FREEDOM! As William Wallace said in Brave Heart, "Unite the clans!".
Your personal favorite may be Ron DeSantis, mine happens to be President Trump. But if DeSantis receives the nomination, I'll support him, as I hope most other FReepers will.
Incidentally, we are getting way too much profanity. This is NOT DU, this is NOT CNN - (in deep voice) this IS FR!
Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.
Thank you all very much, and God bless you.
I wasn’t familiar with Libilu so I did a search. The strangest thing I noticed is that the account was created in 1998 but I only saw posts in 2016.
Thank you! It has been getting intolerable around here, especially in the discussions about Ukraine and the presidential race for 2024.
Thank you!
It’s not “free speech”. Jim has to pay money to keep the site up. . And he has his rules. If donations aren’t enough... Well either ads will start popping up, or he’ll shut it down. Donate a few bucks when you can if you want to.
Well said, Jim. Thanks. God bless you and your family.
Thank you, and respectfully request you post this or something similar every day for a week to ensure it gets maximum coverage.
BUMP!
Amen. Thank you.
A + Bert. That’s a blast from the past.
Can do, will do, Jim.
Thank you!
Spot on and well said!
I’m a little taken back why youre so nice about it!? just drop the hammer and the folks will get it more quickly. everyone knows the rules.
Thank you.
I think that a huge number of posters truly are DU-esque trolls — maybe even AI — inserted in FR as stirrer-uppers.
Yes. Libbylu’s opus was the best: “Damn you all to hell”, or similar. It had to do with Heidi Cruz, IIRC.
I think this as well and wonder if there is a way for admin to determine if they are as such?
It gets ugly here during presidential primary season. I remember the bruising Cruz vs. Trump supporter battles from 2016 very well...
Agree, this was getting out of hand. Thanks for the reminder. We may have differences with Trump or RDS , we are still all of like minds. We all want the same for our future. I remember infighting when Ted Cruz was running but but it all got sorted out and we are ok.
