Yep. Pretty much goes without saying. Any reader walking in will see it. As for your contributions as a contrarian, tough to manage. I was a pariah here (at FR, not yet on Q) on the subject of Scooter Libby, and just quit posting for a couple years. I'd quit again and have no heartburn over it.

Close to nobody's mind is changed here, and just due to the sheer number of people posting, it's likely to open a BS argument between people. There is close to a hundred current Freepers that I simply write off as cranks, and (to the extent I can keep track of it and maintain discipline) just don't engage. My contribution to keeping the peace. I am totally indifferent to the bulk of FR going off in wrongheaded directions. I used to try to "fix it," and found out in short order that it is a fool's errand. People do not read.

At any rate, use your own judgment, do what suits you. You don't owe anybody here your thoughts or corrections of errors and mistakes. FR will self-police itself to "whatever," no fault of yours or mine or any individual. Unreasonable friction comes with the territory or relatively open online forums.

I think your "disagreements" on the Q threads have been asserted in good faith, well-taken, clearly expressed, etc. IOW, I don't see "troll" or an effort to disrupt. Your posts aren't repetitive or demeaning.

Making this remark in public because I think the forum deserves and benefits most from public exchange. I do recognize that this post is a distraction from the subject, and for that I apologize to the readers.

Good post I totally agree. Some here only want to argue (look at their post history), I guess that’s what floats their boat.

House subpoena rattles Justice Department; Sessions 'angry' at slow response; FBI 'called on the carpet' - Byron York

The Attorney General is angry with how slow the process has moved when it comes to requests from Congress to the FBI. He's told Wray that the pace is unacceptable ...

Interesting in that this line of inquiry is (mistakenly, IMO) thought to be outside of Sessions' view because it involves an investigation into Hillary Clinton. The actual line of inquiry is FBI/DOJ misconduct. Hillary's conduct is one step removed from that.

Your comment was a good one and not a distraction. Reminds me of curving or otherwise iffy roads, road signs warning of steep grade ahead, or road narrows, keep to the right, check your brakes, and so on, can be useful for maintaining road safety.

Not a great analogy, but reminded me of that.

(Sorry for tortured grammar above, too tired to make it proper.)
