"Are you sure less debate is the best road to a free republic?"



Debate is not the same as nutcases who want to disrupt. It's like hecklers at a debate. They are like psychotic children or people who just want to destroy. It is completely different from honest debate.

UBE's point stands, as some of FRs biggest 'disruptors' are the PC crowd who fear no mod.
They far to often 'heckle' honest debate to a flaming halt.

Look, if you can't stand FR, why don't you give us all a break and bail out.

After five years you have this idea I can't 'stand' FR? Hell, almost four years ago you invited me back here:

Don't know if you've noticed or care, but I've reinstated your account on FR.

Is a cheesey little free whine now and then about the mod squads excesses too much to bear?
--- Scheesh.

And this is coming from a moron...

Everybody's a critic. Thanx, by the way. And that's Mr. Moron to you.

And today was a good day...

Human suffering comes in many forms, and it should never be celebrated.

I'm not celebrating human suffering. It's symbolism.

And today was a good day...

I remember "unamused". He said something to me that even offended the people who hate me. : )

[Jim Robinson]

Must've been a rare moment of extreme weakness on my part. It's hard not to pity the cheesy whiners. Nah! No it isn't.

[rdb3]

It's hard not to pity the cheesy whiners. Nah! No it isn't.

You got that right.

I rewrote the homepage stuff from ground-up (or more likely, I ground-up the homepage stuff in a rewrite.) The suspend thing didn't make the cut (oops, I forgot about that) I've added it to my new Bugzilla list.

[sweetliberty]

Yeah, I haven't figured out the new way it is done either. I kinda liked it when an account got banned and they put "No current FReeper by that name" on the page. I also like it when they put if a poster was banned and for what reason and also if a poster is suspended and the return date. Now it is just confusing. I also wish that when a poster got nuked it didn't remove all their posts because sometimes it really screws up a thread.

And today was a good day...

I accept that - and I accept the fact that I can get a tan due to one of those bitches.

[arasina]

WAS illbay truly banned recently? Is illbay the owner of the FRsucks site?

[arasina]

Don't follow the link! You'll get hit with a request to install software from 'Gator' - Spyware Alert!!

Didn't happen to me because I have Popup Stopper! Free download at www.panicware.com. Works great! :-)

[Senator Pardek]

It's symbolism, you know.

[justshe]

Thanks for the update, as I also wondered about the "either banned or suspended" info....and WHICH it was.

Glad to know it is now on a list....I think? I have lists dating back to 1999.

[Timesink]

Ooh, you've got a Bugzilla list? Can I add one thing? Please PLEASE make it so you don't have to type "elections" into the topics list when you mean "politics." I know there's just one "Politics/elections" topic, but whenever we think of adding that one, 95% of the time we're thinking in terms of plain old politics, not ann impending election.

Also, I would like a pony. Thank you.

[nunya bidness]

Babe? Another 'b' word is more apt. And it rhymes with "itch."

Lemme' guess. She spanked you in a debate and used big words?

You should have hit her with the big V. That worked wonders for the forum.

[tear_down_this_wall]

Anyone register www.freerepublicsuckssucks.com yet?

[rdb3]

Lemme' guess. She spanked you in a debate and used big words?

Nope. She was an apologist for the Taliban.

And today was a good day...

[John Robinson]

Okay, I submitted that as bug #2. (Fresh install.)

As for a pony, I have a vintage '71 Fastback rotting in the garage. Want it?

[Admin Moderator]

yes, in fact they do fly in and try to disrupt FR

Gee, I never noticed. ;-)

[rdb3]

You should have hit her with the big V. That worked wonders for the forum.

Glad you liked it! Anything else?
