YOU can call me "Miz." Drop the "honey" crap. Any news and opinion board that starts following the members around like some kind of secret police has taken on far too many qualities of a cult. That's just plain insane. People can--and will--post and read wherever the heck they want. No doubt that's what bothers some here (most particularly the moderators)--when we're posting somewhere else, they can't control what we're saying, or what we're reading. Hard to pull a message or a thread when it's someone else's site, I guess.

If you really want to run off more of your paying members, keep talking that way. It's starting to look as though the "Free" in Free Republic is just for appearances. It wasn't always that way, and it's very sad to see what it's becoming.

I agree with OPH. If you lie with dogs, you get fleas.

Well said.
