If I should fall from grace of skinner
Where no MIRT decision can revive me
If I'm buried 'neath the tombstone
And even I/P won't have me.
Let me go, boys
Let me go, boys
Let me go down in my transparency page
Where the pizzas are all free.
This board was always ours
Was the proud land of the donors
It belongs to us and them
Not to any Freepublicers
Let him go, boys
Let him go, boys
Let him go down in his transparency page
Where the pizzas are all free.
Bury me in the lounge
Where no metaposts can haunt me
If I reach five hidden posts
Then no malicious intruders can lay upon me.
Posts coming up nuked, boys
Keeps coming up nuked, boys
Let me go down in my transparency page
Where the pizzas are all free.
For those who don't get it.
Hope you thought it was clever
Tribute to the banned.

(13,616 posts)while there are many who are for a certain unnamed candidate that really want a fair discussion of things, there are some that have had the knives sharpened since 2008, and they will gladly see this place become the place thou darest not criticize you know who. They are still angry at Obama for defying them.

(13,616 posts)between the wordplay skip did, and the labels that are thrown against everyone who wants to have a primary so that Hillary will at least have to listen to those to the left of Lloyd Blankfeld. We are been called Ratf___ers, GOP operatives, idiots, sexists, but apparently no one needs to be polite to anyone who is not on the Hillary train, even if some of us say they will vote for the woman if she is the candidiate.

Inexcusable
That word is toxic. Period.
He knew what he was saying. To call it mere "wordplay" is patronizing and inexcusable. Once again, he knew what he was saying. And "that woman" deserves more respect than that.

(13,616 posts)and my point is not to say that was word good, but to point out that those not on the HIllary immediately team have been called ratf***ers and sexist, and that so far, the admin have not done anything about that.

There are Bernie supporters here who have been calling this out because they don't want to be associated with the "clever" "word play".

(13,616 posts)then if there are going to be straight out bans because of anything near certain words, rest assured some of us will be looking for words used. To this day, Hillary will not apologize for dog whistles that were racial, and when some of us complained about that, we were told is was just Bill playing with words. I would rather Satan be elected than Jen Bush, Ted Cruz, or Marco Rubio, but when, not if, when certain people start making remarks that hint at attacking them for being Hispanic, rest assured this will be remembered.

(62,325 posts)The banning has harmed Hillary more than the few words most of us didn't even know about. It's all about perception.
