You folks do a fine job. Look at Lucianne.com...if 1/10th of the things I've read about that site are true, they truly demonstrate how not to moderate. Or NewsMax...I used to post their heavily, but I quit and deleted that site from my book marks. Why? The moderators broke the site's rules for their buddies : Antigay posts got nuked quickly, but antiIsrael posts were ignored. A certain poster with the initials SP got caught on another site , explaining how everyone at NewsMax was a racist , and how she had started threads to get quotes for a magazine article. This post got copied over to the NewsMax forum, a firestorm broke out, and a moderator locked the threads .Later, that same moderator was caught on CapitolBlue laughing at the angry NewsMax posters with SP herself. Worst of all, trolls and disruptors run wild on NewsMax, and nothing is done about them in the name of "freedom of speech", despite the obvious favoritism in enforcing Newsmax site rules!

Seeing how other conservative/liberatarian sites work(or not work) really makes one realize what a fine job the folks who keep Free Republic running smoothly do. This is the best site on the web, bar none.
