Why Is Free Republic Allowing Liberal Trolls To Stay?
May 12 2009 | jveritas

Posted on 05/12/2009 12:07:37 PM PDT by jveritas

There are some really annoying liberal trolls on Free Republic who have survived for months and years without being banned. Why is Free Republic allowing them to stay? We have enough liberalism and left wing lunacy on 90% of the media and we do not need this crap on this forum.

It is not difficult to spot these trolls. A quick review of their posting history will prove without any shadow of doubt that they are liberal trolls. Some of them try to mask it but they cannot fool the vast majority of us.

There are plenty of left wing forums which will welcome them that if they are not already registered and active members there.

It is time to get rid of them.

Hit the abuse bottom on them and hit it often.

For the record, my name is The Toll, because there is a price to pay for what is being done to my country. I intend to collect.

Does that mean you think you're getting free pie? That would make you a ...

The longest suspension I ever got was for doing just that.

I went there... sad to say that site was a major letdown, bordering on false advertising!

I agree... and this thread was over the top, IMO, when it started.

That’s not what I said.

I didn’t suggest that we embrace them. If we play like adults, the children will get bored and go away.

That’s my experience anyway (on other boards).

I liked A+Bert.

Or, was it A+bert?

Anyway, he was always very nice to me.

In my opinion, the Moderators do a reasonably good job of managing this issue. Do they get them all, no, but I believe they make their best call when these freaks pop up and poof, they’re gone.

Frankly, there are some folks that are not libs, but just as nuts.... and I’ve seen many of those get tossed too.

Heck, if I were a Moderator, I wouldn’t last a week. I’d probably get fired for dumping a lot of the wrong folks. ;>)

A public forum, with an open door...... can’t be made perfect.

Bert was a hoot when he was sober. Heck, he was a hoot lit up, too.

True, Ash was not a foaming-at-the-mouth Perez Hilton kind of liberal. He actually seemed quite intelligent, and I tried to debate his points a few times, but I quickly got the feeling he wasn't here to debate, just rile people, push buttons.
Too bad, too. He seemed capable of actually carrying on a civil debate, if he wanted to.

Free Republic is about as close to perfect as you are gonna find on the internet.

Is their liberalness in the eye of the beholder, based on one issue you may disagree with?

Hell I was labeled as a liberal troll because I offered an opinion that was not sufficiently right-to-life for some people.

My liberal friends at work - who believe I am the conservative devil - found it laughable that someone would cast me as a liberal.

Aren't we supposed to be the people who think for themselves?

I didn’t know that. I saw her pinged on some posts in a hilarious “Freepathon” advance notification thread a while back, so I assumed she was still around.

As a noob I ran afoul of A+ when he’d been “imbibing”, sort of consider it a badge of honor today.

(Scared the dogsqueeze out of me at the time though!)
