This is Mr. Robinson's site and, unquestionably, he's free to run it as he see fits. That's the beauty of free-market capitalism. But as a Christian, I'd like to suggest that referencing hillbuzz as a source be disallowed here on FR.

Many of us are Christians, but the lines onyx quoted off of HillBuzz are harmless comedy.

You are correct that this is Jim's site and it's his call, but I'd sure hate to see FR start disallowing quotes from certain sources.

We have a lot of fun with quotes and comments from Democratic Underground (DU) on here and that site is vile. But I believe it's important that we maintain a sense of humor here.

Onyx was not condoning that site at all; she merely quoted two lines from it. I see nothing whatsoever wrong with that. (And yes, I am a Christian.) IMO, we should always keep an eye on what the enemy is saying.

re_nortex will have to learn that we credit the originator's.

In this case, HillBuzz was credited here in post #797 by RonDog, who linked their site.

Sheeesh.

After thinking it over, you're quite right. Disallowing the citation of sources would stifle the spirited give and take that makes FR such a stimulating source of information and opinion.

In the wisdom of 20/20 hindsight, I regret even offering that as a suggestion. Sometimes, I am just an old fuddy-duddy. You young'uns' can look that term up. :-)
