“Do not post to me” - Repost

Free Republic | 10/06/09 | Admin Moderator

[Admin Moderator]

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this.

1. It's impossible for us to enforce.
2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.
3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.
4. Thick skin helps.
5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would not.

First thread.

Epic feaute!

A guy asking for a feaute, the absence of which works toward weeding out wussies who yearn for the aforementioned feaute.

LOL

Someone had a bowl of pee filled Cheerios this morning,didn’t they?

Here you go.

It's Olive, the other reindeer, head Admin Mod, on the right.

LOL! It's bad enough to wah wah to mommy that a poster will not leave someone alone. Heck, Witt, we know that idiot posters can be good sport!

OTOH, it takes a special kind if crybaby to whine that "mommy" must spend thousands of dollars and revamp a website to satisfy him.

I will say this - the reason for the request seems obvious enough...

I hate to bring this up, but it’s et al. (with a period) not et al
Just trying to be helpfully instructive so nobody makes fun of you.

I try to get what mileage I can from being bipolar.

Wow! I need new glasses. When I first saw that I thought it read "I try to get what mileage I can from being popular".

I admit that more than once I have lamented the lack of “ignore” capabilities on Free Republic, but you know, over my years on FR, I’ve changed my mind and now find that I agree with the Admin Mod — they’re for wimps. The problem is that on FR, you have to get down to the bottom of the post to see the poster’s name, which is what tells you whether or not to ignore the post. So I’d like it if Free Republic’s forum had a “To” and “From” line at the TOP of posts, making it easier to just skip and move on to the next one when you know the poster is somebody not worth reading. As it is now, you don’t know who wrote the post until you look at the bottom.

I find those that whine the most are those who always have to have the final word in every discussion.

They are crybabies.

So do you have CNN blocked on your TVs?

[Freedom2specul8]

Ibtz!

[brytlea]

Funniest post yet! ;)

[fanfan]

Imagine the audacity of hubris!

[Lazamataz]

Don’t post this to me.

[Jemian]

I don’t think you’re allowed to report someone who’s been here longer than you. Someone went to a lot of trouble to assign IQ and degree of conservatude by seniority.

Well, duh, newbie.

[Drew68]

Is that the image that dude used in his CGEB persona?

Yep! That's the image.

Looks like a typical high school yearbook photo and probably belongs to someone who has no idea the controversy that her photo caused.

[ThomasThomas]

You mean there three tigers and one set of twins or two sets of twins?

"This thread is useless without pictures."


I could not agree with you more...
