How to Kill Anti-American Threads on Free Republic
Me | Oct 6, 2001 | Anamensis

Posted on 10/06/2001 10:35:58 AM PDT by Anamensis

We've all seen them. BS-laden garbage full of blame-America-first spew, socialist whines about how we funded terrorism, lies and half-truths about our foreign policy, Monday Morning Quarterbackism critiquing everything our CIA did during the Cold War, etc. There is only one way to handle these threads, and that is to NOT RESPOND! All these losers want to do is draw us into BS debates about how many Iraqi children have died, how mean Israel is to those poor suicide-bombers, how Islam is REALLY peaceful and good (once you submit to it and do as you're told.)

Folks, let's try giving these threads the silent, unmarked graves they (and their posters, frankly) deserve. Don't answer them. Ever. Not even to say, "you're wrong, you're an idiot," nothing. All it does is bump them to the top. As soon as you realize you're reading a screed, just hit the "Back" button and go to a thread worthy of your attention. That's what I intend to do. Starve these BS artists out.

I have so much fun responding to those nitwits. If you really want to cut down on it, have a three day delay before registration is activated. Or a week. Or a month. You can cut back on clowns pretty quick. Most of them want instant gratification or they forget about this site and move on to porno or something.

I personally enjoy locking horns. I sometimes miss the old battles.

Not all the "blame America" liberals.
Some call themselves conservative preachers.

The problem with a waiting period is that we would miss out on the good stuff that finally draws a longtime lurker into the fray.

Sorry, left out "are" in first sentence.
I get in too big a hurry when I'm angry at the "We asked for it." idiots.

Censorship now! Let's canx any opinions which might disagree with ours! After all, it's the American way!

Thanks, I have been doing that for the last week or so. It's just not worth my time reading that dribble.

I'm with you, Free the USA. Just don't read stuff you don't like, don't ask to have it killed. Personally, I like to hear the stuff the wackos are saying. (Sometimes it's even hysterically funny.) Is it better to be ignorant of this stuff? Knowledge is power, and censorship in practice is often a too-blunt instrument. JMHO FWIW. best, bb.

Looks like some of our fellow freepers don't take the time to read a post before responding anyway.

The "blame it on MTV and porn" crusaders at FR are a boorish lot, indeed.

I second your motion!

The people that post this trash and their friendly idiots who enable these threads to reach 100-200 and even 300 posts, are really nothing but un-patriotic and un-American scum of the earth, who have nothing better to do with their lives then waste FreeRepublic bandwidth. I'm surprised JimRob puts up with this crap.

Along with Usama and his murderous butchers, they can all go to hell!

Did you read his post? He said nothing about deleting posts...just how to kill them in the depths of hell by not responding. You must have a real long attention span.

My favorite one was the Judicial Watch press release the day after the attack in which they blamed President Bush because he had spent too much time on tax cuts, education, the budget etc... instead of concentrating on anti-terrorism.

The fact that over one million Iraqi children have died by the US bombing and siege....

That's a blatant lie. You're a liar and a damn fool too!!!

Why don't take your un-American crap and stuff it where the sun don't shine. Better yet, just move to the Middle East. You have an agenda that is anti-American and you'd be better suited living in the cradle of terrorism. BTW, the sooner the better.

So we're suppose to voluntarily practice self-censorship and sacrifice our freedom of speech?

Nah, it's much more fun to flame the weenies.
(And also flame the weenies who want mandatory censorship of whatever they think is supposedly "un-American".)
