"We shall miss you, poohbah, and your thoughful posts. Hopefully, you will get withdrawal symptoms and return soon.      PS. Why don't you just ignore the a*holes?"
 
This says it all. I do not understand why, after running up against a brick wall with a few idiots that some FReepers take this to be the whole of FR. I stayed completely out of the Schiavo thing because of my past experiences in the hospital have tainted my opinion and I could not or would not agree with the die-hard purists.
 
What is the current membership here at FR. Doesn't anybody realize how many morons can spout their opinion in a group this large? It's the same old treatise of letting one or a few individuals spoil it for the rest of the majority. This is liberal, leftist, DemonRat behavior. It is what we are against. Why is it so difficult for some to just move away from an argument that has gone down the tubes and cannot be won or lost?
 
What ever happened to "Never Forget" or "Never Give Up" or "From My Cold Dead Hands"?
 
I am still a "Newb" by any standard of the definition, but have been around long enough to see this is starting to be a trend.
 
Don't let the few influence the many. If you do you are giving in, and turning into what you hate.. The one thing I thought we here at FR would never do. It is the reason I joined.

Ever been on one of the drug war threads? Novus Ordo vs. Latin Mass threads? Calvinism vs. free will? Immigration threads (that which spawned a thousand polls, I never participated in any of those threads because I wasn't interested, and the anti-Terris could have done the same)? Any thread having to do with anything having to do with the Confederacy? Bush-supporters no matter what vs. Keyes/Buchanan/McCain supporters, etc.? Or, heaven forbid..a creation/evolution behemoth thread?

People disagree, and sometimes uncivilly, and sometimes they're not open to what others have to say. That doesn't make them evil because they happen to be on the other side of a particular matter.
