Are comments entered on FR threads being blocked by an unknown third-party agency?

I can be typing a comment, and not watching the field (once I've activated the cursor within it), then when I'm done typing, the field remains completely blank.

I then have to retype the entire comment, which never reads the way you want (unless you have perfect recall, which I don't, at advanced age) so the gist of the initial comment you have mentally formulated has been lost.

At first, I thought this was a system delay or preview function of some sort, on the browser, but now I don't know what it is.

Then the frustration sets in, of needing to retype one's thoughts a second time, which is never as good as the original concept, so I end up saying just forget it.

The keyboard and mouse work perfectly everywhere else. This situation is maddening and has only begun occurring over the past two to three months. I don't use any social media whatsoever, never have, so I'm basically flying under the radar at all times, which makes this even stranger.

I believe my browser (Opera with Google) has become compromised in some way, and that the failure of typed commentary to appear in the field provided by FR has something to do with an attempt by an unknown third party agency--through the browser--to blatantly frustrate, censor, and block participation in Free Republic.

If anyone else has had similar experiences, please comment accordingly. Please limit sarcastic and disrespectful and insulting chatroom-style hit and runs which waste your and my time, as well as use up costly FR bandwidth. Thank you. And Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Not a problem...

It is probably the DHS getting there latest monitoring and censorship system up and running...

In DHS’ view, FR is the nation’s most fertile ground for finding and recording those few anti-communists left in the United States...

Just remember, there are no limits to tyranny when the serfs merely grumble and accept the chains with a smile...

The American people have earned their right to this dark tyranny...

It’s a free program I’ve had for a long while with no problems. Saved my computer a few times.
