PLEASE, I beg of you all: Stop posting threads from freerepublic on DU! |
|
Seriously, you need to cut it out. All we're doing is giving their wretched fascist kiosk hits, and that's despicable. Inotice that the people posting all the freeper offal over here all have low post counts too: guys, stop it. I realize it's a newbie mistake. Cut it out, now, before all there is on the GD frontpage is stuff like "OMG! I can't believe what the freepers are saying about ________!"
Well, I can believe it. We all know that FR is a depot for lowlifes, ammunition fetishists, and other assorted scum. Point made, point taken. In fact, point taken a thousandfold. Enough. Many of us have been here for a long time and have been through this shit before: nothing a freeper says can surprise me anymore and I think I speak for most DUers here. So ENOUGH with the free republic threads, mmmkay?
Remember, every time you post a thread about FR here, they get free publicity and possibly more webtraffic. And we shouldn't be handing our enemies freebies like that.
If you absolutely HAVE to post dung from FR, put it in the Bush, Conservatives, and Conservatism forum. Please.
Just say no. Really.

Oh, you meant the country, not the band...?
Hey, it's all right. It's just DU keeps having to go through this same shit, where there's a glut of linked threads to FR and then the mods get pissed and ask that DUers stop posting those links, every few months. If we'd all start poliicing ourselves, we wouldn't have to deal with those kinds of hassles.

13. Mods can do a lot to you. Thay can run you over in their scooters... |
|
smother you with their parkas, or perhaps shove dozens of "purple hearts" down your thraot until you overdose. Then they'll play some Northern Soul and dance all around your corpse.

3. They're good for a chuckle. Besides we should keep an eye on those sickos. |

4. Ther's a difference here.... |
|
Between posting about, oh, say....Tom DeLay and freerepublic.com. We can keep an eye on the fascistic machinations of the established, enfranchised right by shining a light on guys like Tom DeLay or whoever.
When we post about impotent fringe sites like freerepublic.com (and especially when we include a link), we increase web traffic towards a right-wing website, thus giving them more popularity, and distorting the view of them in the mainstream...it legitimizes them, in other words. We don't want that. Remember, Alexa tracks all those webhits.
When we keep an eye on the sickos who can make a real difference in our lives like Grover Norquist or Tom DeLay, it's a far cry from tracking the moves of some pistol-totin' thumbsucker decrying the UN in his pajamas in some fetid basement in West Virginia. DON'T GIVE THEM LEGITIMACY! That's all I ask.

12. I thought they were fans of the "West Alabamy Exalted Cyclopses." |
|
Or maybe they were upset that the Posse Comitatus didn't make it into post-season play this year.

RE: freeper threads: if we were to post about everytime a freeper says something horribly stupid or dangerous, we'd have nothing BUT freeper threads in GD. There's a whole seperate forum for such stuff...people oughta use it.

30. Skinner should create a Forum Titled MORANS & all Freep threads |
|
should automatically go their. IMO
Then all the stealth freeps at the DU can go there and read about how retarded they actually are & the rest of us can go there for a GOOD Laugh.
Person minus critical thought = Freeper

...every media has its section for comics. Why should DU be any different?
I thank those that start the Freeper threads since they do the work of sorting through all the shit in that sewer so that we can enjoy the more attractive "bits and pieces."
For those of our community here that have the fortitude to wade through that board and then take the time to present it on behalf of the rest of us here: keep it up. You have my compliments.
Don't let the board nannies get you down!

and still people drag that excrement over here, I don't take a dump in my kitchen, and that's what it ammounts to, walking into a nice shiney kitchen to find a huge pile of shit steaming and stinking on the floor. I don't open those threads if I can help it, and if I get fooled into opening one with some trash about mordor in it it gets ignored, pronto. Help keep DU clean.

27. I just love "What Rush is saying" threads, too. |
|
I don't care what he is saying, and truly wonder what DUers are doing listening.
Sure, I could avoid the threads IF people would put them in the subject line, but often tend to say "WTF? I just heard on the radio" or "Look at this!", and there I am having to look at whatever crap Freeps or Limpdick are saying.
It's like walking in, laying a piece of dogshit in our living room and saying, "LOOK!"

"You'll never believe what I just heard Hannity say!"
Actually, I don't believe there's a sentient human with a brainstem listening to Hannity say anything. And it certainly shouldn't be in GD.

33. No matter what the intent.... |
|
the result is that their site gets publicity. I never go over there, but I'm sure THEY'VE caught on to this fact and rarely post links to DU.
I still maintain that if you NEED to link to FR or make fun of freepers, there's an entire seperate forum in which to do so.

37. AMEN... and while we're at it.. No more DRUDGE....DEVELOPING |
|
RED FLASHING LIGHT...OMG..WTF...
or Newsmax...or NYPost...or FOX... or Moonie Times...
99% of DUers already know what Bill Sammon or Rush Limbaugh or Bill Kristol think about issues we care about..
If you find something at one of those sites, just type in Google..click NEWS..then type in some keywords..
If the story has any validity, IT WILL BE THERE ..with some mainstream sources..
It really creeps me out to see headlines like:
"DID KERRY LIE??" or "DRUDGE says......" or
well you get the idea...ON OUR FRONT PAGE...
I repeat... if it's a legitimate story, there will be OTHER mainstream sources that have it as well..
Until then, it's a RUMOR...
