Thank you for your explanation. I am not sure that I understand but want to explain my response. There are a few people on Freep who do like to police things. They usually post something similar to what wagglebee said, indicating that I or someone else posted something that we should not because a similar article was posted by someone else. I am not sure why anyone, other than a Moderator, would think it their responsibility to do that. It seems to me to be the regulatory antithesis to Freep. It bugs me so I push back.
The way I deal with most stuff on FR that aggravates me (other than leftist trolls) is to ignore it, just my method.
He wasn’t being a “it was already posted” cop, he never does that, it was in response to my asking if either one of us had pinged an article about this yet.
Believe me, he never patrols looking for dupe articles.
(Courtesy ping since I’m talking ‘bout you, wag!)
Great. My apologies. Just be aware in the future that there are several jerks who say things very similar. They are very self-righteous and feel like they own the discussion board. I can see that this was not one of those cases.
I don’t think I will adopt your typical response though, little jeremiah, as I really do think such behavior is diametrically in opposition to what Freerepublic is about. I refuse to acquiesce to such behavior here. A principle thing.
Good evening to you both!
Thanks - I have enough heartburn dealing with leftists on FR. The thread nannies I let alone.
