In short, as the lead moderator, I don’t like having to wipe up after the children here.

Well put. One thing very new I have noticed, and it troubles me greatly, is the tendency to brutalize anyone who doesn't automatically run with the pack, and then turn around and hit the "abuse" button on them for the sole reason that they do not agree with what the poster has posted. In my four years of Freeping I have never seen this kind of behavior, and it is a sad commentary on the state of conservative debate. It is the liberals who try to silence others.

But there are some here who rush to hit "abuse" not because someone violated the guidelines, but rather simply because they don't like what the person is saying. That is nanny state mentality, and a disgrace to the good name "Free Republic." Hats off to all of you who work to keep things running here.

THANKS.

Much appreciate the lessening of my ignorance.

Will earnestly try to follow. Please feel free to delete wherever I mindlessly forget or am unaware of a proper application of such guidelines.

Thank you!
