The Censored Republic

Free Republic | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

Ok, this is a free for all thread. Come in and take your best shots. I promise I won't delete it or get upset. Get it out of your systems and then we will see if we can solve the problems. There always several sides to any story and several possible solutions to any problem. I'd like to hear them all and I'd like to solve as many problems as we can and get this forum kicking socialist butt again instead of kicking each other. So, please anyone with a complaint or a problem or a possible solution, (moderators, posters, FAB, everyone) please chime in. Thanks, Jim

[InvisibleChurch]

please have all posters pass a 'how-to-format-an-article' class...eliminate all 'all yer base b'long to us' replies ... and disable all democratunderground linkx - see no point in giving them a forum just because they say something (dumb) ... please make johnhuang2 and kattracks get some sleep ...

Thread TWO

Ummmm...do we really NEED a thread two with the new software format?

[GRANGER]

Jim,

You are a true hero to all of us who have been here for awhile. Lately I have noticed a little tinge of Political Correctness creeping into the moderation. You need to make the rules very objective, not subjective, and not kill threads just because someone arbitrarily pushes the abuse button. When it gets tough is when we are atarting to have fun.

Thank you for all you do.

[okie_tech]

I never noticed that, Duh, if it were a snake ;-)

[Truth Speaker]

No complaints here Jim ONLY PRAISE coming from my camp.

You have made it possible for me to expand my knowledge in all areas. I enjoy all the threads and glean more information than I know what to do with.

Words alone cannot convey my Thanks, so I will just conclude with:

I love FreeRepublic and it's founders. J

[Letitring]

I'm happy here. Thank you, Sir.

[Arthur McGowan]

I keep checking, in my preferences, that I don't want to see YOUR OPINION/QUESTIONS, yet I still see them.

[cdwright]

Oh, I do have a question: Why did you ban OliverWendellDouglas?

If you ever get the time to answer...

[Illbay]

That was EXACTLY my thought when I saw the good Demidog's comment.

[concerned about politics]

Now ya done it. I'll bet you're sorry you asked.
Yes, explain "why" when an article is pulled.
It's like getting a rug pulled out from under you.
Breaking news here is GREAT!

[Clinton's a liar]

You've got FRail! LOL

[Jim Robinson]

"Sometimes when people get banned or temporarily suspended I get a private email asking me why, etc. It would be great if we had an omsbudsman type email address to give them!"

Yes, that's one we need to work on. Personally, I can't stand to argue with some of the people who get banned from here so I sometimes just ignore them. Why do rules violaters always start their sentences with "I know it's against your [name it: racism, profanities, personal attack, etc rule], but.... "

[rwfromkansas]

I agree it would be nice to have the debates of old back on here. I am sure sometime they will come back as some event will cause it. It may be awhiel though, who knows.

[Jim Robinson]

Could happen. We're thinking about it. Thanks

[Valin]

Yes you are...but nobody cares.

Well I do but then I am dumber than a small pile of rocks.

[jlogajan]

Here's a serious complaint (as opposed to joking.)

There is a double standard afoot. I know I can call Liberals ever name in the book, accuse them of any crime real or imagined, impugn their motives, and so forth. Never ever will such a comment get deleted by a moderator. But let me make the same kind of comment about a fundamentalist and wham -- that post is gone.

That's a double standard.

[clamper1797]

No complaints. One suggestion ... is it possible to have an ignore poster button ... for those "special" friends ??? Looking forward to meeting you at Condit's office first Sat of Nov. I would be there this Sat but it's my 50th 40th birthday and I gotta celebrate at home.

[hole_n_one]

Ummmm...do we really NEED a thread two with the new software format?

I'm seriously considering changing my screen name to use_less_one

[cdwright]

That question was so stupid it wasn't worth asking. Thanks again.

My suggestion would be to put a link similiar to this
on the page that someone comes to when they finish joining Free Republic.
