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.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, knock yourself out. Opportunity knocks.

You may want to ask Arator how his "un-pc" site turned out.

[onyx]

How about belligerentwhiners.com? Presumably you'd want company at your site!

I agree with Jim on this issue. We can post a modified title, then post a link to it, without posting the “n” word or the article itself. If we start throwing the “n” word around, more and more people here will use it, and I think that is not good for a responsible mature conservative forum. We don’t want to look like a skinhead or a neo-Nazi board.

If you were kicked off how were you able to post this?

So many Republicans have warmed up to and accepted Political Correctness. Its nothing less than brain wash and thought control.

LOL! Your post is "nothing less" than hyperbole.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

You need a new keyboard. The one you are using is creating cryptic paragraphs that the readers have no chance of deciphering.

bye bye

The offending word has never been PC in this country. It is not a word that has any redeeming value at all except to people that have limited communication skills and even lower intelligence. If you want to use that word without censure then go to a chat room on Rap music.

By the way, you can get forum software for free now days. Many providers will even host and maintain your forum for you for free. And, assuming you will not spend any time moderating it, it won't even cost you your time. And you can promote it for free on dozens of search engines. I see absolutely nothing holding back anyone from creating a forum of their very own. If FR is not your cup of tea, have at it. Or, if you do not want to establish your own unmoderated forum, you might try taking a look at Sam Francis net or any one of hundreds that already exist on Yahoo and Delphi, etc.

I suggest you reconsider. I had a thread pulled which questioned whether Magic Johnson really did ever have AIDS, or if perhaps his miraculous health/medical regimen is the secret answer for keeping all HIV patients worldwide healthy. Anyway, it was pulled. No problem - a little confusing, but no problem.

Bottom line, I still consider Jim Robinson as a true AMERICAN HERO.

Be a man, reconsider, and come on back and join the fun. It is not a perfect forum but it is by far the best thing around. Just enjoy and be thankful that Jim Robinson is allowing you to participate.

Hyperbole, thought control.
JimRob said "no", such a blow.
Now he's gone, but posting more.
I thought bye bye meant the door.

Let me add my --

No, it's more like.
Your fired!
Hey you can't fire me, I quit!

ROTHFLMAO! And this coming from the Vanity "queen" of Freerepublic? Come on fess up Carol, this was satire right?

[malakhi]

Seems to me that you're the one who is whining and having a snit about not getting your own way. What, you think you have some right to post here?

[ClancyJ]

Look - don't jump on me. I'm sick of the PC police telling me how to think. I'm also sick of people that do things for shock value too - such as articles deliberately "spiked" with something to catch attention or art deliberately sacriligious and obscene to get an obscene jab at Christ or the Lord or religion and hide behind freedom of expression, etc.

Have you ever noticed that PC does not apply to obscene artists - only to minorities and those offended OTHER THAN CHRISTIANS?

[Jim Robinson]

No problem. I've even thought of running a no holds barred forum myself someday (separate from FR of course). And, I would send the folks who insist on cussing and fighting and spitting, etc., there to roll around in the mud and the blood and the beer. I'm thinking of calling it "TheSmokeyBackRoomForum.com." As soon as John gets his new software finished, we'll open for business.
