You can look at it from another point of view. A website is like your house. It's yours, no question. But if you invite someone, you usually want to make this someone comfortable (the quest, of course, has responsibilities too).
Not exactly. It is more of a glass house, with the resulting damage occasionally, from folk that fling bricks and crap. Your image of a house is not the same as a home. FreeRepublic is all of the above. It is an open debate that goes on every day. I am a WASP Protestant heterosexual male, and I like to post pics of awesome girls. I have had my hand slapped for some of them.
Nobody is really invited by FR. It is open to anybody that wishes to sign on. We have our share of trolls and "missionaries". But, to put it bluntly again, Jim Robinson can say whatever he likes about what is happening on his front porch! He has stated his opinion. You placed yours into the mix. Many may be offended, but the door is always open to leave...

... I guess Im going to take a timeout from Free Republic. Hopefully the Freepers will be acting more sensibly when I return. Bye, see you guys next year.
pissant is still posting today because, though he doesn't like all that is here, there is enough to let him shut up and grit his teeth! Glad to have differing opinions, but don't think you'll make it with the attitude you've taken on this thread! YMMV!
