What about insults like “Zeeper”, “Neocon”, “Globohomo”, etc., constantly hurled at anyone who dares to criticize Putin or Russia?
Are they forbidden too?
I use “Zeeper.” To my knowledge, that one isn’t on any list. You might ask Jim. It’s his forum and his rules.
So you do it because other people do. That's always a great rule to follow.
When all Freepers are admonished to not engage in such inflammatory terms.

Jim Robinson has indicated that he opposes U.S. involvement in the Russia v. Ukraine war. But he did not say, that Freepers who agree with him, may disregard his code of conduct and badger other posters.
Recently, the Congress has aggressively been pursuing a course to enact and impose Internet forum rules of conduct. FreeRepublic can benefit, now, by setting a good example, adhering to Jim Robinson's rules - thereby affirming that his rules work, without federal intervention.
