ZOT: The irony of Free Republic
Posted on 03/22/2004 11:28:05 AM PST by sandbag
I was hoping, with a name like Free Republic, that this would be a place for intelligent debate of political issues. Unfortunately, I miscalculated. After vaguely disagreeing with someone over an issue, I was repeatedly called a "troll" and promptly banned from posting. I tried again several hours later only to meet the same fate. Is everyone here aware of the fact that sometimes, from opposing points of view, one is able to learn something? That fact works in both ways too, meaning I, as an opposing point of view, could possibly learn a few things from you. Instead, you apparently choose to remain in a sheltered environment where only viewpoints aligned with yours exist. I suppose ignorance truly is bliss?
Go ahead, delete this post, ban me, whatever. Just know that "Free Republic" is an amusing misnomer.

You can slink and slither, but you cannot hide from the Mighty Zot!
Impressive run, though.

And just how do you propose THAT would happen?
Liberal and intelligent do not co-exist.
A few years ago on AOL I went into a lib then a conservative chat room. The Lib room was just full of insults and personal attacks. The conservative room had only personal attacks when a lib jumped in and did a TYPE-BY (drive-by without bullets or a car)

Get some professional help. You're a sick puppy.
To have posted a completely rational thread after the thread you posted a few days ago, says to me you could be a danger to yourself and to others.
To: All
Let's have a nuanced, penetrating discussion.
What sort of troll was this?
Was it a DUmmy ANSWER-BOT troll?
Or was it one of the rarer, but far more amusing Libertyposer anarcho-rightist Buchanonite trolls?
You see, we must identify the substrata of the dustbin of history from which our interloper has sprung, so that we can better understand the root causes of their dementia. Or something.
Libertypost is the sort of place you go if you've already joined the miltia.
DU is the sort of place you go if you think everybody who doesn't revel in Planned Parenthood's quarterly "production" numbers the way you do, is the militia.

Oh, I dunno - I really don't think instant potatoes can compare to the real thing. I mean, have you ever seen them make them? They run a dozer over the taters that aren't good enough to be sold as such and dry the mush out. No kidding.

exactly - these leftist red-diaper babies seem to enjoy forgetting that with the freedom to speak comes the freedom to ignore, with the freedom to associate comes freedom FROM association, etc...

"administer a dose of wood-shampoo" is the politically acceptable term these days. I mean, golly, taking someone "out behind a shed" or "to the back 40" and "beating the snot outta him" is sooo... southern >^_^<

To: King Prout
LOL!
My fatehr uses the term.
His father was born in Nevada, so it is unclear where the term enters into usage in my family.
*chuckle*
But the troll does deserve the "party in the treeline" treatment.
(That's what we called it in the military when someone got a beatdown..)

Tiptoes to my room every night
