Now we come to the Free Republic. Once a free wheeling, joyful site for news and discussion of politics, economics, philosophy, ethics and morals. I could not understand the transformation that has taken place in the last six months. Camaraderie, the sense of family, and cooperation seems to have disappeared.

Yeah, and we really NEEDED another catfight thread to bring us all together, didn't we? /sarcasm

Here's a thought: maybe it's not the moderators, and maybe it's not the people who are trying to get those who are most conservative, yet electable, in office.

Maybe it's people who have vested interests in other websites and want to make this one look bad so people will leave and go to their websites instead.

Sorry if someone else has already made the same points. Some of us had to work today.

We have determined that BADJOE's sole website-of-concern is FreeRepublic.com.

No apologies necessary, but you might wanna check this thread a little closer...BJ may open some festering wounds but there's a tendency for said wounds to become cleansed under closer scrutiny.
