I tried.
You tried what, to disparage Free Republic.
If it was truly that bad, which I don't recall, why didn't you hit the abuse button. You and I both know there are people here that get out of line but I know and believe you do too that Jim Robinson and the Mods do not abide such things.
Did you bother to contact JimRob or the Mods about these things. Hindsight is 20/20 but if you witnessed them then why didn't you complain?
Thank you. I know people who have family on Long Island and they tell me that it’s worse there than the media is saying.
