Yeah, wouldn’t that forbid making fun of the Freepers then? And then where would we be? ---

Hmm. “It’s okay to hurt someone else’s feelings as long as I’m having FUN”. Sounds familiar. ---

> [@Smeghead](#): > > Me too, and I couldn’t be happier. I think Liberal’s an idiot, but other than that, this is the kind of bullshit I was thrilled to see disappear into the ether. I didn’t even realize how much of this stuff we haven’t seen recently until this thread got it started back up. Say what you like about Ed’s recent rule changes, but I firmly believe that this board has benefited greatly from having a certain vocal minority bugger off to other boards. There they are now, rehashing the same tired old crap that was clogging up the Straight Dope, the same old arguments, petty squabbles, in-jokes, nitpicking and rules lawyering. While here, somebody else gets a word in for a change. I don’t think that was your intention Ed, you old monkey numpty, but its worked out all right, so you can have a prize. Here, have Germany. ---

> [@bucketybuck](#): > > I don’t think that was your intention Ed, you old monkey numpty, but its worked out all right, so you can have a prize. Here, have Germany. I agree with the sentiment, but Germany? That means he’s always getting attacked from two sides. I think he’s had to put up with enough of that. I think he should get France - the cooking’s better, plus there’s red wine. ---

I didn’t read the original post, but it seems to me that if a sock posts here to cause trouble, and the thread is disappeared, then it would be counterproductive to repost what the sock said in another thread - wasn’t that the point of making the thread go away, namely to discourage socks from posting? P.S. I don’t know if tomndebb is right in saying that the sock posted inaccurate information, and I don’t really care. I wouldn’t waste any time in defending a sock’s honor. I would suggest that if people think they have accurate information to post they should post it and defend what they say is the truth. ---

> [@](#): > > I would suggest that if people think they have accurate information to post they should post it and defend what they say is the truth. I did. The two charges that I remember that the sock made were right and I posted them. I’m not defending the sock’s “honor” (such as it is), I’m wondering why **Tom** is so bent on misrepresenting at least the part of the sock’s accusations that I remember to defend **Liberal’s** ‘honor’ and to insult the posters in this (and the other) thread; the “I do hope you guys realize that you have been played.” bit. From what I posted, we haven’t been. There may have been other accusations the sock made, but at least two of 'em were dead-on accurate. ---
