Is it time to dump Free Republic?
FR | January 28, 2009 | Me

Posted on 01/28/2009 10:46:53 AM PST by PlainOleAmerican

Repeatedly, FR moderators have moved TOP postings related to current NEWS and calls for conservative ACTIVISM from the News and Activism section, over to "blogger's and personal" which has no traffic by comparison.

I fully understand Jim Robinson's original purpose in launching FR, to provide a community in which conservatives could get TRUTH not available in the MSM, information not available in the MSM and access to fellow conservatives so that we could work together towards a conservative agenda.

Yet time after time, FR moderators bury this information over in "blogger's and personal" and kill story after story, vital to the conservative movement.

Why?

Without a change in this policy, I am through posting to FR. The moderators on FR have less sense than the moderators on DU, where they at least work to bury the opposition, instead of themselves.

What gives? Anyone understand this self-defeating policy?

My most popular thread of all time was moved into the ‘Smokey Backroom’ and it had thousands of responses..

Canada Press (cause the American press SUCKs!) ^

Why did you put that in parentheses? That's probably why you went to chat.

LOL, is that the best you can do? No wonder the Mods are moving your stuff.

I think it’s more like a “self defecating policy”.....from the poster.

Thank God!

Jim, seriously, what is this policy about? I don’t get it, though I am enjoying the rude behavior of your children today.

Thanks to those of you who are actually attempting to answer my question! You give me a sliver of hope!

Oh, I agree. The personal blog posts are really annoying.

When I come to FR I see all the posts. Unfortunately, personal blog vanities as well.

Could we get a required ‘personal blog vanity’ warning in the title of a thread?

Dump FreeRepublic? Are you crazy?

I guess I can’t feel your pain since I have never posted (I wouldn’t be able to keep up), so, how about a great big BYE-BYE instead.

So, what exactly is “news and activism” if not for news or activism?

So, why bury conservative news and acts of activism instead of the crap?
