We think you should take a more nuanced position.

Hello.
Over the past hour or so, there have been individuals who have hit abuse dozens upon dozens of times, sometimes for the very same thing they had previously hit abuse on.
Please do not do this. It is highly annoying.
I am aware that there are about 10 threads on Arafat dying. I made the decision that I was not going to pull all of them. I did not want to lose the first few comments made on them, and besides, the explosion of threads on FR when something big happens is somewhat of a tradition. I'll be pulling new threads, at least the new ones that do not have actual real articles associated, but the ones that were up will remain up.
If you don't agree with this policy, I am sorry and I did hear your complaints. If Jim wants the approach taken changed, he'll let us know. But one person hitting abuse 5 or 6 times on the same thread saying "duplicate, please pull" is just being a pest.
Also, about the CBS/not-dead thread. If CBS is reporting that, it is news regardless of if CBS has the story right or wrong. If they have it right, then it is news about Arafat. If they have it wrong, then it is news about CBS. Either way, I am not taking that thread down. Besides, it was a missed opportunity when the abuse report came in "He's dead." The correct abuse report should have been, "He's dead, Jim."
Thanks, AM
I hit the abuse button for this thread...
Thanks for your hard work, AM!
I disagree.
The correct abuse report should have been, "He's dead, Jim."

"I disagree."
You should hit the Abuse button. :-)
I just hope the fact that DU is open for biz isn't considered "something big".....
Heheheheh.
Keep up the good work.
Are you the cool mod or the snarky one?
actually, I hit the "Abuse" button too. I hope it doesn't make the moderator mad.

Maybe the webmaster needs to put the "Report Abuse" link on the other side of the page. I have accidently hit it a few times when trying to respond to the first post.
"He's dead, Jim." Oops… wrong thread.:-)

I wonder if this includes certain Freepers who are able to have threads in conflict with their RINO agenda exiled to the Memory Hole Smoky Backroom?
;^)
Sorry. I couldn't locate the "Death Report Abuse" button.
You made a double post. I'm hitting Abuse.
People who abuse the abuse button should be banned to the Chat forum.
Last week I sent a message about this very thing; my complaint was that they were pulling too many and the existing one was turning into a BS session; I guess they can't please us all.
