I had to consider this for a moment and come to the conclusion for myself that it was not a joke. While the video itself is indeed “terrorizing”, that’s not the end to this man’s apparent terrorism career. Khuram Sher, seen below in the clip auditioning for Canadian Idol and singing “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne, was arrested for being apart of a homegrown terrorism plot in Canada. Susan Boyle he is not…. I guess that’s the end to his budding music career.
Really? That's interesting. I didn't know that. How do you know this. Brittany always seems to post correctly that I have seen. But let's assume you are right. I have also seen a number of threads where the mod moved them to the blogger section and posted an admonishment.
So what does that tell us about the people that own and run this place, exercising real (not imagined) authority?
It tells us they are carefully watching the forum as they always have. It also tells us that other than making sure that links to blogs are put in the right place, there is some latitude. It means that, just because the blog post references and frames a Youtube video, it isn't a sign of the Apocalypse. It means that bloggers with real content, that happen to frame Youtube (You know, like Power Line, LibertyJuice and hundreds of very respectable places), are welcome here. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't just about everything on Youtube pretty much public domain? Does the guy that films a congressman acting badly on the street and posts semi-anonymously really demand attribution and a direct link giving his little personal account credit and publicity? Doesn't he just want his video seen? Is it copyrighted? Does anybody, other than the boys in the tree-house, really give a s$it one way or the other?
The fact that there is a section carved out for bloggers would make all this obvious to most. It means things are perfectly under control. It means that the bloggers posting and linking to their material are enhancing FR (that's why their posts don't get pulled). It means that this silly little crusade is a farce and the people engaged in it are acting like cultists; going after every blog post that frames Youtube, in spite of Dear Leader's assertion that it's only the "fake", "cookie collector" sites that he claims raise is abundant ire.
Or, Eaker, does it mean that the mods are just clueless and need some instruction from you on how to run the place?
Another funny thing is that you retards write a page of crap like anybody is going to read it.
I’ll just sleep better knowing that you are thinking about me and whether I read your crap or not.
Well dude, I didn’t. But you will read every last word I type.
Post another page or two for me to ignore.
Last thing, I checked with Pablo and he thinks yer a furry.
You must have been in special ed when the normal kids were out on the playground learning lessons about picking their fights carefully.
You won’t get any sleep tonight and you will be thinking about a man.
Hmmmm, what does that make you? OR perhaps it is nothing new?
LOL!
Pimp Busters rule and you don’t.
Hey Humblegunner,
Didn't you tell my that your pimpbusting effort was a strictly a high minded effort to protect the quality and assets of FR? Well then, how do you explain your barely literate disciple Eaker?
Notice the "we dislike...we rule you don't" thing. We rule? That's what you are all about? Seriously? A handful of people claiming ownership over a forum with thousands of members? A group complete with leaders like you and hangers on like Eaker? Kinda creepy and grade school, isn't it? How does childish garbage like this enhance anybody's experience?
Do you still want to claim that this is strictly a high minded venture, or admit that possibly it's degraded a bit; that it is less about enhancing and protecting the FR experience from interlopers than it is about a small group of people that have decided their dubious mission is the highest objective around here, when in reality, the vast majority of members (and the mods, of course) don't really care about blogs being tightly policed?
FR is supposed to be a a forum about conservative politics, not a vessel for a small group to conduct their silly club activities, while ignoring the fact that nobody is really asking for the service they've decided to provide, or all the venom they spew at the other members while providing said services.
Not only fighting crime and looking good... but having fun while doing it!
W00t!
Get lost pal.
There’s also this: Pimping your blog for hits is also frowned upon.
So take your self ritghteous attitude elsewhere.
Save it for Sunday when people are watching.
And the mods are just too dumb to handle on their own, right? Good thing for your little cult.
Lotta words there that ain’t getting read ‘lil feller.
Maybe humblegunner can help you with the big words.
LOL!
btw, I always post in the blogger section.
