DO NOT ENTER THIS THREAD!!!! It will contain vulgar materials in moments. We have a disrupter on the forum. We have alerted the management and they will be taking down some very inappropriate materials ASAP. This is more than likely a federal crime. It will be reported. I appologize on behalf of the forum management. Sadly, there are some pretty sick people out there. DoughtyOne

[Lee'sGhost]

I saw one of 'em -- thanks!

[Poohbah]

a good rule in life: do not taunt the sysadmin.

Unless, of course, you want to feel the power of:

ZOT!

[DoughtyOne]

I wouldn't take a chance that someone might come along and see those posts without seeing a very strong objection to it on the forum. It is true that any idiot can post vulgar tripe on the forum, but it is not true that everyone who happens to drop in knows this and realizes that it doesn't happen all the time.

A disclaimer was posted. People have voiced their thoughts on the disrupter. In an hour or so this thread will be gone. I don't think we've handled this so badly.

[leadpenny]

My suggestion would be to prevent all new users from automatically getting read-write privileges until they've been lurking for about a month.

Agree. And then the first (pick a number) posts be closely monitored.

MinuteGal, check his profile...this guy is a longtime member and if his profile is correct, I think an apology may be in order...

[fourdny2]

Thank you DoughtyOne, first time for me to click the abuse button too, but I wonder what took so long for it and it's mate to be pulled? Disgusting.

[hellinahandcart]

Smart ass.

After the last picture I saw, I don't even want to see the WORD "ass" ever again. LOL

[metesky]

Over the years we've all had our share of political disagreements, flamed and been flamed in return, but this was sooo far beyond the pale I was almost speechless when I saw it first on a smoking thread, of all places.

It ain't easy to leave me speechless.

[Admin Moderator]

"check my previous post a few up from this one..."

Will do that. Thanks.

[Neets]

HAHAHHA...sorry toots..I only saw one pic..and that was more than enough...

[DoughtyOne]

My pleasure, belive me.

[DoughtyOne]

I'll say.

[MinuteGal]

You can't find anything because THE PHOTOS WERE DELETED as you well know, disruptor. Are you disappointed? Get lost.

I missed all the hullabaloo; it must have been pretty raunchy stuff.

You know, somebody who would do something like this ought to be known as a cyber-flasher. The intent and effect are the same--to shock and sicken unsuspecting people.

The only difference between the dirty old man in the raincoat and the sicko-computer geek who most likely lives in his mom's basement and keeps getting fired from his jobs and couldn't get a date if his life depended on it because his personal appearance screams SOCIALLY INEPT PERVERT!! is that our greasy-haired, thick-glasses, blue-pimpled social reject is doing it on the computer.

[Slip18]

I truly love reading a good flame war. And sometimes someone from DU will come over and disrupt. But as you said, "This was beyond the pale."

[wireplay]

Whoa!!! I have been holding back watching you beat up on Bob and trying to find the reason. His posts are not out of line but yours are getting pretty close. Calm down.

[Tijeras_Slim]

With all respect MinuteGal, I don't think XBOB is a disruptor. He's been a FReeper for quite a while. It is possible that he didn't see the filth we were subjected to. This has put us on edge, and if we start flaming each other the real disruptors and slime win a little victory.

[XBob]

thanks TaZ. What ever was going on sure created enough stir, that whoever did what sure got a reaction. Probably enough to try it again, what ever they did.

[strela]

Sure wish that IPs of posters were available to all of us. I didn't see any of the offensive pictures, but there is some disgusting stuff out there, and it would have been fun to throw this guy's IP to the tender mercies of places like alt.hackers.malicious or certain IRC venues.

[Bushistops]

I agree. Thank goodness those pictures were taken off,they made me choke on my morning coffee! I love Free Republic and have been a daily reader since Pres. Bush started to run for President. Thank you all for the wonderful work you do by informing America about the dirty tricks the Democrats are constantly up to.
God Bless!
