Vanity Post on Vanity Posts, Duplicate Posts, Trash Posts, Commie Propaganda, etc., Vol V, No. 1
Free Republic ^ | 1/26/02 | Jim Robinson

Way too many vanity threads lately. And way too much trash being posted. Please try to stay on topic (politics). Also, please do a search on a significant word from the title of your article before posting. This will reduce the number of duplicates. And, along these same lines, please use the original titles on your article posts. Do NOT edit the titles. Do NOT use "My Title" titles. This will also help to reduce the number of duplicates.

And, whatever else you do, please DO NOT post from DEMOCRATS UNDERGROUND (or any other such trashy un-American socialist hangout). Free Republic was intended to be a socialist free zone. We've gone to a heck of a lot of trouble to make it that way. Why in the world would you think we would be interested in having their trash posted here?

And QUIT trashing each other. You know who you are. Knock it off! Way too many flamewars and feuds going on. And, while I'm thinking about it, QUIT trashing our conservative candidates. If you want to criticize someone's position on some policy, have at it. But do not trash or smear the man. That would include Browne, Buchanan, Bush, Keyes, et al, or whomever else may be your favorite trashee (examples listed in alphabetical sequence). The idea is to get more conservatives elected, not to trash the ones you don't like. If you want to trash someone, make it a Democrat. Thank you.

And QUIT dredging up old communist propaganda to smear our conservatives. Sheesh! Whatever else you may think about our guys, they did not hijack airliners full of people and crash them into buildings. No, my friends, not even the dreaded CIA. Anyone who would believe (or even suspect) that crap is no FReeper. I've been pulling this crap whenever I see it and several people have been banned for continuing to post it. I do not want it on Free Republic. Any current FR poster who believes this leftist propaganda, please logoff immediately, send me your resignation via email, and I will delete your account.

Thanks,

Jim

Thank you. I am so sick of us giving them credibility by the constant "Look what they are saying on DU" threads.

Thanks for re-posting this.
Seems like a lot of FReepers either missed this or don't understand what Jim is saying.

Did excessive vanities crash the system for two hours?

The vanity acceptance chip had to be recalibrated.

Just as long as we are still allowed to strongly criticize Bill and Hillary, I'll be happy.

do a search on a significant word from the title of your article before posting

Don't you think that would happen a lot more if the Post Article page had the admonition (and, maybe the tools to do the search) in bold, red lettering at the top of the page?

Thank you, sir. We were about to give up on this website with all the personal attacks and cursing. We can all disagree without being disagreeable, using profanity and or personally attacking each other.

Can I still post Monty Python's "Henry Kissinger" song under "Breaking News"? Because it is pretty good...

link 5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as "kooks", "right-wing", "liberal", "left-wing", "terrorists", "conspiracy buffs", "radicals", "militia", "racists", "religious fanatics", "sexual deviates", and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

Vanities are great. There have been some absolute beauties.

My favorite is "Help!! I can't access Drudge. What's going on?"

Superb. We ignore this wisdom at our peril.
