Free Republic is Drowning in Vanity Postings--Please Stop (Mod note--we concur)
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 | Kristinn

Enough already. Please.

Vanities used to be well thought out, researched and/or funny and somewhat rare. Now the vanities consist of whatever crap pops in someone's head and they are drowning out whatever news is being posted.

I'm not the forum police, but please add you're rant, joke or pearl of wisdom to an ongoing thread.

Patience - surely a couple of days of Vanities is not going to create any problems - let people blow off a bit of steam - and yes I posted a vanity yesterday!

A couple of things. kristinn has earned his stripes at FR. He has put in more hours on behalf of Free Republic than anyone else but Jim. He is also the official spokesman for FR.

He is not a moderator, by his choice I assume, be he is respected by all the oldtimers and by all the moderators on FR and if he posts something, the mods will allow it no matter where or what he posts.

Isn't YOUR post a vanity post?

And YOU are the one acting as a self-appointed posting NAZI?

Oh no, I used all caps in some of the words above.

Does that merit the wrath of a self-appointed CAPS NAZI (sthop screaming, it's not niceth, blah, blah, blah...)?

And then there's the self-appointed "Multiple" Posting NAZI (nevermind that some Freepers may have missed the first post or two)?

GET A LIFE, GOOFBALL.

Of all times, a good number of vanity postings might be a good way to vent during one of our darkest (no pun intended) hours, so, with all due respect...

SHUT IT, dolt.

I agree. I’m on the flip side-I’m getting more and more pissed at the people bitching about the vanities. Allow people to at least let off steam, for God’s sake. I thought this was for an exchange of ideas.

Just a bit ticked off? If I had bought a bottle of Jack D. Election Night, I would have made a MOAB of a vanity the following morning.

“Um, excuse me,I-I think you forgot my bread.”
“Bread, two dollars extra.”
“Two dollars? But everyone in front of me got free bread.”
“You want bread?”
“Yes, please.”
“Three dollars!”
“What?”
“No soup for you!”

Let’s do it

What booze should be there? It will be cold, and we should have something that will make us warm going down...

I thought the guy posting three vanities a day was getting to be too much. And I am mostly watching FR in the morning and night, he could have been posting nine a day.
