JimRob's Vanity Post on Vanity Posts, Duplicate Posts, Trash Posts, Commie Propaganda, etc., Vol V,
January 26, 2002 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 01/28/2002 5:19:40 PM PST by Admin Moderator

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

Everyone knows where Jimmy Hoffa is.

He is holed up in a trailer park posting to internet chatrooms under the name Michael Rivero.

I agree, Speaks, about the dupicate posts. I've seen entire threads devoted to posters insulting each other re a dup when all I'm thinking is, "I'm just glad to see the dup or I wouldn't have seen it at all." Massive egoes (or non at all) to get worked up about whether ones post was first or not.

"you're a girl?"

Last time I checked, yes. At least I hope I am or I have wasted an awful lot of money on the wrong type of undergarments.

"And QUIT dredging up old communist propaganda to smear our conservatives.

Jim:

Marx and Engles were foursquare for Free Trade. Their participation in the "Corn Law" debates in England in 1848 are historical correct.

Your feelings about using their comments during Free Trade threads?

Regards.

It is said that a woman's power comes from her silk undergarments.

Only because they are massive static generators. (sorry, nerd joke!)

I guess JimRob is not such a bad guy as you thought. His request to the anti-conservative smearmeisters here on FR to stop smearing conservative hero, Pat Buchanan, is much appreciated.

"It looks to me like the 400-comment threads that pop up occasionally about the Apollo moon landings being a hoax and similar fare have worn out their welcome."

Ron Brown says either dig him up, or leave him alone. He's getting a headache already.

O.K. but what happens if after reading both a thread and it,s duplicate, I decide to post my opinion on the issue? Which one do I post it on? What if I am responding to something someone said on the original thread but want the people on the duplicate thread to be able to read what I said? Do I then do a pair of duplicate replies on the duplicate threads? What if everybody does this?

Also, what if someone starts a duplicate thread and everybody who is just logging on goes to the new thread and the old one does not get bumped often enough to stay visible in latest posts? Then someone posts a stupid or misguided opinion which was thoroughly refuted on the original thread. The people who only read the new thread see the opinion but not it's refutation. This is convenient for the person circulating an untruth but not good for the quality of the debate.

Hi there:

When will we be able to again access our preferences? I was logged out and when I logged back in my preferences are all screwed up. I tried to put them back to normal and it said "currently disabled." Please help me change back my preferences. I am a conservative and cannot stand change. I can't stand the way they are now. Please help me.

Thanks Jim! You are right about the recent posts that are "presumed conservative" but attack conservative values and politicians. I find such posts offensive and discouraging. They don't deserve our attention.

Is there a reason you keep putting up multiple posts of this vanity into breaking news?

Indeed; I thought the point of breaking the threads into 50-post bites (besides bandwidth concerns) was so that they could be indefinitely long and would not necessitate 'Thread II', 'Thread III' and so on.

I know where Jimmy Hoffa is.

Do you know where he left Bernie's tapes of Marilyn and RFK?
