"Sorry pal, I'm not going to waste my time or resources on America hating trolls. If you want to debate these guys, do it on DU or LP or wherever."
Of course you know this makes you an evil, censoring, Nazi conservative. Right. :) HA!
Just kidding for the mods. A heavy dose of sarcasm for Mr. Robinson's neighborhood.
Nah. It's understood - a given.
King James of Fresno rules!!!
There are other places on the net. Check 'em out.
Did you see that Pravda piece of filth just posted and deleted?..It was venomous lies. That is not a piece that merited discussion, just deletion. It was the marketplace of hatred, not ideas.
Post 107: Disruptors are a nuisance, and they should be banned. Agreed. But conservatism and the Republican party are two different things. When someone expresses an honest opinion, and they are at odds with the big government agenda of the politicians, that's good.
I am loyal to the Constitution. Period. I don't care who it is, if a politician puts forth an idea that diminishes my power and increases the power of the Federal Government, that's a problem. I will say so, here and everywhere.
FR is a conservative forum, but moreover it's Jim's forum. As for what opinions are expressed in that regard, he can make the call on those issues.
So change the channel already. Poof. Problem solved.
Many, such as myself, have exactly this view.
You're funny. :)
That wasn't the point. This is a private forum, and there is a very, very good, sound reason for banning trolls.
Keep studying! I flunked Con Law. 'Course I had a lousy teacher but it took until I became an award winning teacher myself to know that.
Folks who post here and are Trolls, usually get flamed into oblivion pretty fast and it's fun to be part of the firing squad. As long as they're not advocating some sort of violent action or blatant bigotry which might get the Robinson's and FR into trouble, I have no problem with them being here and giving us an afternoon of verbal target practice.
It's called vetting. If you don't know why it's needed, you never met bogdanpolska or hurtgenforest or classygreeneyedblonde.
If this place wasn't moderated, it would descend into a soupy grey mass of flamers, DU buttheads, neonazis and tinfoil nutters. Did I leave out anyone? It's be like Lord of the Flies.
That's a classic -- made me an activist.
We now have a wolfpack mentality instead of a discuss them into submission one, which seemed to work for the preceding years. I know I've got flame scars to show for it.
Many of our threads are just people spouting the party line and cheerleading. It's more entertaining to butt heads then to listen to the cheers. IMO of course.
Exactly, and that is why trolls NEED to be banned.
I started the forest demise, so don't preach to the choir. I've seen some very good first time posts get ratpacked. You need to vett some of the vets while you're at it.
Personally, I think banning should be reserved for extreme cases...as far the rest of the fake-conservatives, they should be attacked with honest TRUE conservative rhetoric whenever they show up and start spewing their neo-con, statist and/or facist diatribe.
But hey, that's just my opinion...
Btw, Jim, my "King James" was not ironic or sarcastic, at all.
Maybe a bit over the top, but heartfelt. I greatly appreciate you, John, the mods and all the supporters.
