“FR did not used to be like this.”
It’s been like this before, usually during presidential elections.
You are right and have jogged my memory.
I remember during Romney’s run for President many were run off of FR.
And remember how Cruz supporters were treated and treated others.
I can remember those nasty times but in general most of the freepers were respectful.
I do remember the Viking Kittens which took care of disruptors.
Trolls were called out BIGLY.
You didn’t want to get ZOTTED!
I thought the owner and the moderators usually did a pretty good job getting rid of the trolls, one by one. Unfortunately it takes time.
