BTW - The disaffected, angry bannees of FR more commonly known as anti-freepers have done far more damage to this site then the Post or Times and most of the anti-FR “hit pieces” you see are mostly self inflicted.
Anyone who thinks there isn’t a segment of participants here who are racist, violent or bigoted have their heads up their bums. Does that mean the site is racist? No, but the bad apples give all of us a black eye.
Any post on FR that violates this warning “Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.” is fair game for the abuse button and can result in that comment being purged.
I agree with this stance. If someone (even a long term poster) is in violation, drop the comment to keep the offense from derailing the thread (they can become lighting rods for all of the subsequent comments.
Even trolls are zotted and often have their post pulled rather than letting it derail a thread.
