This thread here has the original discussion of this matter.

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?

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

Hey! Doesn't this post violate the rules outlined within this post??? (/sarcasm)
:o)

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?

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?

I'm still trying to find where he addressed removing all humorous threads.

[kellynla]

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...

And QUIT trashing each other. You know who you are. Knock it off! Way too many flamewars and feuds going on.

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.

"I don't know how to define 'off-topic,' but I'll know it when I see it."

There was a LOT of griping on the previous thread, and a lot of seemed to relate to what is defined by "off-topic," and what tortures should be visited upon those who would promote such things.

Good luck, kind Moderator...you'll need it. Leave the humorous stuff if you can: We need to vent some steam once in a while.

Behold the power of the Big Cheese.

Thanks Jim, for an important reminder.

This is Jim's site and he sets the rules. I realize that and I do try to abide by them.
