Against zotting...

[Philistone]

As someone who was (unfairly?) zotted oh so many moons ago because as a n00b I didn't understand the point to which some mods didn't understand sarcasm, I would like to put forward the (perhaps heretical) notion that we shouldn't be quite so quick on the zot.

Recently, a FReeper put forward the notion of a "probationary period" before being allowed to post.

I would argue that as long as the posts are rated "PG" (I understand that this is a family chat board) we should allow ALL viewpoints to be presented here. There are a couple of good reasons:

1) Where ELSE can you have as much fun playing with a liberal? Trying to engage a liberal in debate on the DUmmie board will get you tombstoned.

2) Most of the zotties are simply stupid. Why not try to enlighten them? After all, if churches kicked out all those who weren't already believers, there'd be no new recruits!

3) Love the sinner, not the sin.

4) What do liberals accuse us of the most? "Stifling free speech!" So let's show them that we actually SUPPORT free speech (within the "PG Rated" limits noted above).

Just my two one-hundreths of a dollar...

Like shootin' fish in a barrel. Classic!

Questioning the MODS and their decisions is like talking about "Fight Club" you don't talk about "Fight Club"

I had an awesome Power Puff Girls' zot pic, but I can't find it, so I guess I'll just have to say,

IBTZ??? (o:

You are a brave one, I'll give you that. LOL

[clamper1797]

I liked your post about the narriccius personality disorder

It's a shame that this post will most likely get you zotted

[pcottraux]

[Slings and Arrows]

You can get that at other boards. Briefly and bluntly, JimRob does not want vermin excreting where we eat. I support him completely.

You know of course, this is a Conservative forum. If we wanted all kinds of viewpoints there are other places to seek those viewpoints.

I come here to read Conservative opinions and up to date news.

Your post is so going to be zotted.

[Danae]

I disagree, look at soem of Philistone's previous posts. He is trying to make a point. Take it easy folks before ya get all excited about a zot!

I vote NO ZOT!

[abishai]

This is my first time beating the zot!

[verum ago]

1) generally, one doesn't get zotted unless they deserve it
2) follow sarcasm with a notation that it is such
3) IB4TZ

[rogue yam]

This board has rules. They are there for a reason. Most FReepers would rather discuss the news rather than discuss the rules of FR.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Howz come he ain't banned yet??

[bannie]

We'll see how long I last!

What's your record?

[Philistone]

Oops!

I MEANT to say that the FReeper mods are second only to God!

Seriously, it's Jim's board and he can run it any way he wants to.

And if he wants me to leave, I will tuck my tail between my legs and leave!

[stephenjohnbanker]

: ) : )

[A CA Guy]

That cat looks like it ate Hitler before the Zot!~

[JRios1968]

The Mods DO need their sleep, y'know.

[Mike Darancette]

We'll see how long I last!

They'll have fun with thread for awhile. Nothing personal.

[Slings and Arrows]

[Danae]

I vote No ZOT!

I read some of your posts and you definitely have a head on your shoulders, your discussion of monitory funds and flow was really good!

[clamper1797]

This is a conservative forum. If you don't like it, there are other places you can go.

[stephenjohnbanker]

VERY GOOD...VERY GOOD!

[JRios1968]

Yea, I think it was in the Book of FReep 1:17...

[Mike Darancette]

We had a cat like that at our frat house. We called him Adolph.

If you want someplace where you can post all of your trivialities as if they were news items, start a blog. Who knows, maybe someone will read it.

FR is not a blog.
