[David L Walker straightheart]

I don't have anything negative to say about Mr hunter,although I will support Thompson if he runs,but to start out a forum subject with the words all offensive posts will be removed
to me that sounds a bit like controlled forum and I think all comments should be heard pro and con on any forum

Well, Mr. Walker, the removal of offensive posts has been a matter of Free Republic policy for a long time. It’s not that you can’t ask tough questions, and going through the past 10+ pages, you will find quite a few not-so-softballs. The issue here is simply being polite. The last thing we need to show a Congressman and Presidential candidate, who is here as our guest, disrespect with a “you suck” or “bababooey” or something along those lines. After all, we would like him to come back here and would like to see some of the other candidates do the same.

All offensive posts are always removed from Free Republic.

Read at the bottom of every posting window: “Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.”

A good moderator will always remove offensive posts.

I said nothing about “offensive” posts. I said disruptors will be removed. I’m not exactly the inoffensive type of guy.
