Trying to label them as good or bad, or whether they are making a point or not, is beside the point.
Castigating the opuser is equally pointless.
The large number of recent opuses suggests something is happening on FR that an increasing number of members are uncomfortable with.
It's a time for self-reflection rather than another opportunity for a Two Minute Hate.
It suggests the micro-minority of intolerant Cruzers are opusing out. Look at the daily polls: we're looking at 90 percent supporting Trump. You think anybody believes this BS coming out of Cruzers about how we're betraying Conservatism by not supporting the bread-faced mutant?

No, it doesn't. And in any event, there haven't been a "large number of recent opuses", certainly not significantly more than occur during any other Presidential campaign.
The phenomenon is fed by the rage-filled hysteria of a tiny, tiny group of people who can't control themselves on FR when an argument goes decisively against them. Ultimately, they end up attacking the community that they claim to care about, and they attack the owner of that community because they don't like his new "posting guidelines".
There's nothing sinister occurring on FR, and any characterizations to that affect are misguided, if not outright malicious.
What there is is are needless Cruz fanboy/NeverTrump/"contested convention" flameouts.
Butthurt, in other words.
Let's just say that advocating for a contested GOP convention (insane), chanting "NeverTrump" (insane) and the like are currently not in vogue in this community, and leave it at that.
