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.

Yeah, but... “judge not lest you be judged” negates all that angry stuff.

I almost got dumped in the first few weeks for trashing McCain... it’s all part of the thing, I reckon. Not all the Mod’s have the exact same beliefs as Mr. Robinson even. The tent is bigger than the Demo’s would have anyone believe.

I, for one am for minimizing the inner circumference of the tent.

Since he joined this forum "tc45a" never posted anything against Obama socialism, liberalism, and appeasment on foreign policy but yet he claims that he is not an Obama supporter.

The difference is that this is a place considered “Personal Property”. We are all here as GUESTS of Jim Robinson — not jveritas, and he knows that...

Which is very true. If Jim Robinson or his designated moderators ask me to leave, or ban me, then that's their prerogative to do so, as he does own the site. I won't dispute that, and if I get asked to leave five minutes from now by him or the Admin Moderator, I would do so. I would expect you to do so if I asked you to leave my property, after all.

However, there are many other people who have taken it upon themselves to designate as trolls anyone who is not in lockstep with them on every issue. I take issue with those people who think they know the mind of the owner completely, or think they are the final arbiters of what's conservative. They're not.

To come right back around to where you pointed, on this site that task is Jim's and his designated admins/moderators' task. Everyone has the same freedom of speech on this site as anyone else has, but they don't have the right to muzzle others' free speech just because they might disagree with him on an issue or two. All subject to what Jim Robinson or his designated people say.

So true! If one doesn’t understand the WRATH of God and how much He HATES sin, then one will NEVER understand the love of God and what He did for us.

It is so much more than our finite minds can handle.

It would be more productive if the subtle techniques that trolls use were listed. Like the trolls who subtly get the reply threads going off on a tangent. What other subtle techniques are used by trolls?

All I said on 333 is that MurrayMom had been zotted already! Is this not permissible?

Cheese and crackers, Joseph!

What a can of worms you've opened this time!

Haven't the time or inclination to peruse all the posts but Trolls seem to exist sometimes. Many times they're not trolls, just inflated egos or inflamed a**holes. Not replying seems to do the trick most times.

Stay Frosty!

Let this be a forum where hardcore conservatives gather to hone talking points (or, more likely, counter talking points), discuss plans of action, and disseminate information. There will be enough disagreement among the conservative on those points alone to keep everyone busy. Let the liberals and RINOs be banned so that they don’t waste our time.
***I agree with your point of view that something needs to be done so they don’t waste our time. That’s why I have proposed an idealogy litmus matrix. The libs & CINOs wouldn’t necessarily need to be banned with that in place.

The time for FR as entertainment has passed. We should be in war mode now.

***Well said. We obviously are not in war mode. How do we wake up the owner to the fact that his website has been co-opted? He does not want to confront that reality.
