The Mods certainly know who posts keywords, but gratuitously-offensive ones should be traceable. My guess is overtly-obscene ones are yanked before the light of day.

I’ll occasionally keyword a thread, just for humor’s sake (such as a Viking Kitty thread or one with an outrageous headline), but, no, hiding behind anonymity isn’t cool at all. In fact, it’s juvenile.

I thought you were going to scold me for calling clinton a bastard. (He is one, you know.)

:-)
Otherwise, I agree with you.
We need to remember that after the nominations are made, we’ll be absolute fools if we don’t pull together for whomever we nominate (ie: Perot). We shouldn’t become enemies before the choices are made!!

I think a thread like this is needed to reemphasize common courtesy and thoughtful dialog.

Well, it is hard to disagree with your basic premise, however I do not believe it to be a serious problem here at FR.

I’m sorry this happened to you especially on FR.

Well of course. Now the question is do you really care about this issue or just care that YOUR GUY was attacked. Did you post any vanities complaining about what's been posted about Rudy, McCane, Tancredo, etc....

...crickets...

"I believe the moderators can tell who adds keywords"

The question is can the moderators find out who posted keywords?

I'm not a Romney supporter but this is clearly over the line.

Sigh. Sad to see it. Well...we should prosecute to the extent of FR law.

“I beg to differ. This is not the typical behavior of a rudybot. This is some run of the mill jerk, not rudy’s pickle puffers.”

F.A. I rarely agree with you on the Presidential race. However I applaud your sense of fairness here.

Unfortunately, we have a cadre of Freepers who think it is "cool" to post outtakes of cartoons to serious threads

I'm one who occasionally will throw the piece of tuna into a cat fight....but usually after blood has been drawn. The piling on that goes on here sometimes does require levity once in a while

I once added ENOUGHTOGAGAFAGGOT to a Gay Agenda thread. I thought it was a clever word play being both risk-E and risk-A. No particular derision intended, just language acrobatics, but it never showed up. Was it too long? obcene? obnoxious? Did I do it wrong? Don’t know but it wasn’t a big deal.

Some of the “example” keywords were over the top but to complain as if this is some type of raging epidemic is ridiculous. Hundreds of threads, day after day, and how many times do we really have a problem? I personally think a lot of the keywords posters add are hilarious.

yeah, but can you tell when someone has posted a vanity under a non-vanity topic ?

Love it!

You folks have always been on the ball when I’ve spotted some zingers.

I knew you had some tricks up your sleeves. For that, I’m thankful.

Time to send some bucks your way.
