Goodbye, FR. Just got kicked in the teeth by the owner himself

Here's a direct private FR email I received from Jim: I do not want the article on FR. I don't care who else printed it or what their title was. Not here. Jim

And with that, my days of Freeping are over. I believe that the owner of this forum has the right to have things the way he wants them. No argument comes from me on that one.

However, if I post an article with someone else's title, and specifically state whose title it is, I do not think that the thread should be pulled. I would venture to say that the people of the forum should decide for themselves if a title such as that was appropriate.

But it's not my call.

Take care, fellow conservatives. It's just a bit too touchy-feely around here for this brotha.

What was the article (can you put a link below)?

[Fred Mertz]

Don't bother lurking either. See ya!

An opus thread!

These are always fun.

These are my favorite posts. As if anyone cares whether someone takes his marbles home. Hello? How many people are on the board and join hourly?

Hey, where's your home page on MSN?

[Alberta's Child]

Was it a copyright issue or a content issue?

Bye!

Opus among us. Gotta love it.

Sometimes a thread is pulled. There is always a perfectly fine reason. Doesn't mean one has to go away forever.

So why are you posting this then? See ya.

It was about Cornel West and the title was his quote from a speech at Harvard, which used the "N" word as a verb. He said that the terrorist had "N"ed us all by making us feel like the average black person does.

I thought the post was fine, but it ain't my forum.

Regarding Cornel West, I think he is one of Jim Henson's most controversial and funny creations. I like the way his muppet hair flies around when he spouts vacuous observations masquerading as some sort of bizarre intellectualism.

Harvard is his Sesame Street. He's funny.

Ooops. New keyboard :-)

Bud, if you think that's a kick in the teeth you need to grow a few more layers of skin.

I always like to bump these Opus Threads so I can check back in a few days and see if they snuck back in with tail between legs.

"An opus thread! These are always fun"

I haven't seen one of these since A+Bert decided to take another self-imposed vacation. Old Bert was the expert on constructing an "opus thread" (he had plenty of practice). This guy doesn't even come close.

Aloha...Ciao...Adios...Au Revoir...Lebe wohl...arrivederci...

My guess is you'll go into withdrawl within hours of leaving and have to slink back unnoticed.

I've got to agree, I've noticed lately that things are a little too PC 'censored' for my taste, but I'm not leaving.
