Open post to Jim Robinson and Moderators,

Sir,
I request to be immediately unsubscribed from Free Republic (or “zotted” or whatever you want to call it).

When I discovered Free Republic sometime back in 1999, it was a thoughtful place which included many knowledgeable people and even some political insiders. (Lucianne Goldberg was only one of several people whose real names, if known, would have been recognized by the informed public.)

Today, reasoned, mature opinion has largely been replaced by hot tempers, rude and crude insults, and even religious intolerance. What was once a forum for mutually-respectful differences of opinion has degenerated into a free-for-all of schoolyard bullies.

Free Republic is still one of the best news aggregators anywhere. However, it is usually a waste of time to read the comments.

It has been very sad to see this process accelerating over the past two years. I kept hoping that more reasonable heads would prevail and bring the content back to its former high level. Now it seems clear that a different mentality permeates the atmosphere.

Yes, ...(for those of you who are about to say it)... Yes, it *is* Jim Robinson’s site and, yes, he can run it any way he chooses. And yes, I realize that if I don’t like it, I can go somewhere else.

That’s exactly what I want to do, provided I can get unsubscribed and my account deleted.

Goodbye, Free Republic. It was nice to know you while it lasted.

(OK, let’s see if the slavering attack dogs will now begin to rip me to shreds.)

LOL...you opus on the open forum saying, "please, please pay attention to me" when you could have easily sent a FReepmail to JR and avoided any feedback.
