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.

You expect any different? We no longer have the house, senate, and the presidency. To a marxist no less. People here are angry. In a matter of weeks, the Republicans (if they care about this country) will fire up the filibuster pen and fight these jokers all the way until we retake them. For now though, let them vent. The vanities will fade in time.

It would have been perfect if you would have put up a link so we could Digg it.

I'll never understand what that whole deal was about.

Hey, aren't you supposed to start off the title of a vanity with "Vanity:" ?

Why not require just the vanities to go through a moderator first before they are posted.

Agree. Found myself actually out doing chores to avoid all the damned crybaby vanities today.

Maybe we can take these vanities and make a “bonfire of the vanities” out of them. That way we can keep warm after obama bankrupts the coal industry.

Amen, kristinn. And there are WAY too many people promoting their blogs and/or their writing careers in the “News/Activism” forum as well...
