I'm one of the members. It's a legitimate ping list to help new members transition into the FR community.
I have no firm position on Bambi's citizenship status, but lean toward him not be a natural born citizen. This FRWW ping list is not related to any one topic.
Yeah, I followed and posted on the mods thread about this topic. I understand the concept..we don’t want to run off newbies who are not trolls. This is one that caused obvious conflict. A little judgement would have helped because there are so many divisions on this topic. A neutral party would have been better I suppose. That’s why I think a private welcoming email should be automatic, with all the tips, helpful advice and links would suffice. The rest of us can say welcome to fr unless they are obvious trolls ...as mentioned by the mods. Thanks jellybean. Had you posted the welcome, this thread wouldn’t have gotten disrupted.
