I'm curious have there been any threads discussing this? How about some links?
Broad parameters?
Lies, anti-Semitic garbage, citations from Holocaust denial sites, pathetic writings whose only purpose is to elicit hate, they all show up here. Personified by a POS like you.
The question is whether the owners and moderators have any standards, or allow just anything. Usually they don't.
You're still here but anyone who reads yesterday's posts will know you- forever- with proof- for what you are.
"... so as to prevent the site from degenerating into a free-for-all. That is precisely what FR is: largely a free-for-all. Racist rants are not permitted, and personal abuse is frowned on, but the parameters are pretty broad here -- and your own posts attest to that. If you prefer a forum where it is written into the rules that no material by me is permitted, such forums exist: Lucianne.com has an explicit rule banning anything that comes from Antiwar.com, of which I am the editorial director. So go there, and don't let the door hit you on your way out....
How thoughtful of you to take up the standard of official policy director for Free Republic.
Unfortuantely (for your cause), the founder's position is at a rather severe contradiction to your "free-for-all" fantasy. To-wit:

Well, I've said it many times before and I'll repeat it here for you. I did not open this website as a liberal debating society. In fact, it was actually designed to be a conservative oasis, free of liberalism.
So much for your assertion. But wait, there's more:
And so I decided to get away from the Barleens, Pedigrifts and eschoirs (you had to have been there) and open my own website where we like-minded individuals who wish to discuss and critique the liberal media and the out of control government and try to find a political solution for our problem (as opposed to an armed revolution) could do so without suffering the interference, pesterings and disruptions of leftist/marxist liberals and/or assorted right-wing nuts (by the way, this particular person is not a liberal, he's probably more of a libertarian with a conspiracy theorist bent).
Hmm, not looking very good for your annoying cause, is it.
The free speech I'm talking about here on Free Republic is OUR free speech and the free speech of those who want to join US in OUR mission.
Nope, not looking very good for your cause at all. In fact, it's almost as if he's aiming a spotlight on it! (Hahahaha, "spotlight")
Those who oppose our mission are welcome to stay and post here as long as they do not become too disruptive or actively work against our cause or our goals.
Oh my, really homing in on you now!
In no way do I want to run anyone out of here, but if you or anyone else who is signed up to post here do not want to work toward our common goals, and/or if you have another agenda in mind, then I respectfully suggest you open your own website (as others before you have done) and have at it.
Ah, but wait -- you've already got your own website! So why do you persist in disrupting here with your anti-semitic rants?
If your bag is to debate liberals or to enlighten the world with intellectual stimulation (or whatever it happens to be) then I will wish you well and wish more power to you. But I see absolutely no reason to give a soap box to those who oppose OUR chosen goals. You who dissent from our dissentions are free to exercise your own free speech rights on your own websites.
Man, does he have you pegged or does he have you pegged!
...just so others would get the message that I do not care what he thinks of me and to give notice to others who feel that I am some sort of ogre or dictator that there are other places you can post. You do not have to stay on Free Republic.
That door you were mentioning, pal? It's for you.
Those of you who feel I'm a crook or a fascist or a dictator or a statist or whatever will be welcome to go somewhere else and fight your own battles on your own turf.
The defense rests.
