Hey, we were all a little touchy back during the Roosevelt administration.

Teddy, not Franklin.

;-)

Those were the good old days all right

The rule is NO PROFANITY.

We wouldn’t have to have MODS if everyone followed the rules.
They don’t.

Don’t blame a MOD for enforcing the rules.

Are you sure you’re logged on?

>> The problem is not with the moderators. The rule is no profanity.

I get that, Jim. I’d argue that a distinction might be made between “profanity stated in context” (with asterisks, say) in an original post like DUFU, as opposed to FReepers *originating* profanity in our vanity posts and replies.

Your moderators can be heavy-handed and arbitrary in other ways besides profanity. Frankly, when I notice it, it’s the arbitrary that bugs me more than the heavy-handed.

But please maintain perspective. Moderation issues are not a BIG deal to complain about, rather a small thing to rib you about. Overall your site is well (and fairly) run, to everyone’s benefit.

Therefore, no reason for YOU to engage in hyperbole, like “don’t donate to a site you despise”.

For my own part, I have taken to heart the times I have been “disciplined”. I try to stay within the spirit of the rules and I avoid provoking your mods. Usually. :-) No one is perfect.

Thanks, but the rule stands.

[Nervous Tick]

Your site; your call.

Hey GeronL, why are they looking for your PayPal account number? Maybe if they asked you...

[pogo101]

LOL!

Hope we aren’t headed to quite that level of euphem-ization.

Oh yeah. Of course. It's like emanations from penumbras. Right! That's what you can get from "No profanity."

Can't everybody see this?

[FDNYRHEROES]

Is the word, “phudge” acceptable?

[dfwgator]

[saganite]

I actually asked you to cancel my account but it’s still here. No doubt, to keep your numbers up. Once again, delete my account.

[Jim Robinson]

No problem. See ya.

[wafflehouse]

Well, after they’ve run off just about everyone who strayed of the established straight and narrow it seems those who remain have a tight hold on their wallets.

imagine that

[BubbaJunebug]

Start your own DUFU blog. I’m sure the non puritans which would be most will flock to it.

You’ll get famous..probably interviewed by Megan Kelly and shunned by Chris Mathews.

Here is a good place to have conservative fun...warning to all there is language in here so if it offends don’t click on it. This is not a liberal sight other than at first glance you may think it is.

>>The problem is not with the moderators. The rule is no profanity. If you post daily threads from a garbage bin, you’ve got a lot of clean up on your hands.<<

I Goggled the F word, represented here with four asterisks and this is the result

**** site:http://www.freerepublic.com About 11,500 results

It appears that there are 11,500 instances of the F word to be found on FR.com

HO HO HO.....That movie was rated PG.
HO HO HO....

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks. But the rule stands. If you purposely and willingly post profanity (especially after you’ve been warned), don’t act surprised if it gets pulled.
