Actually I tend to agree with you and its to bad that justlurking can't. He seems to be the main moderator oriented troublemaker here. (However he hasn't been able to get rid of my handy little gifs and jpegs equating the "free software" leaders with Karl Marx yet even though he complains about them. Maybe he is not as dangerous a censor as he thinks.) ;-).
Just ignore the moderator idea it was just another "trial
balloon" destined to pop like one of Bill Clinton's. We certainly do not need censorship here. After all FReepers are SUPPOSED to stand for the First Amendment aren't they. By the way if I ever get this Arron's Rod Network thing off the ground it will include a conservative patriotic board like this and you will be welcome there if you get banned here. ;-)

I suggested that if you were really committed to doing so, you would cease those postings. In a subsequent reply, I explained why: that they achieved little except to encourage the sniping (which then escalate into personal attacks).
Personally, I think they are just lame. Maybe some people find them funny, or something. If you are sincere about reducing the political vitriol, you'll stop posting them. But, it appears it was an empty gesture.

I don't tolerate certain behavior. A couple of people in this thread have lowered themselves to that behavior. I can't censor them, but I can point out violations of the posting guidelines. I didn't make the guidelines, but I try to abide by them and expect others to do the same. Ultimately, it's up to someone else to enforce them.
I'd rather not point fingers here.
