Thank you for the clarification.
On this thread I replied to Jim0216’s post, “Why post this drivel?”
I am not sure how this is to be interpreted as looking like a snowflake.
“I don’t question your right to post it or a need to see what the other side is saying, I only question the manner in which it is posted - we need to go back to posting warnings in the title lest it be perceived as an endorsement.”
It is not myself that I am afraid will leave - it is for those that have received a recommendation from another FReeper to visit our site because it is the foremost site for conservatism. My concern is that it is this one that will see such a title and leave without exploring that we really are not endorsing the source.
If you wish to be the champion of a cause, I would suggest that you ask everyone to quit using BREAKING NEWS on articles posted on FR. I think more posters would back you on that, than on the BARF ALERT problem.
: )
When was this 'back' you speak of ? I have seen BARF ALERT posted in the title of SOME threads, and it really has only been popular to do so in the past year or so.
lest it be perceived as an endorsement.”
I have seen posters ASK for a BARF ALERT on certain threads (and usually in a joking manner), but I don't remember anyone in particular stating that not putting BARF ALERT turned that THREAD into an endorsement.
Besides that, there is no point to just reading a headline and having a flat out ill-informed emotional reaction. Anyone who does that without reading at least the excerpt and some of the comments, isn't really READY to be on FR anyway.
Don't you read at least the excerpt and some of the comments on a given thread ? Why would you assume other people are not like you ?
