Thanks for the kindness. I'm not offended at the jail time, because it gave me time to reflect, however, we must be eyes wide open here, because this site has certainly changed. The evidence is in three clear areas. First, the lack of financial support each quarter shows clear lack of support for what has been an outstanding site. Second, the real truth diggers have been relegated to the redheaded step child corner of the Q threads. These threads even have a sort of “breaking news” and “front page” news feature, where contributors are posting in this fashion, such as Noah's Nightly News posts. It is as though we have FR within FR. Finally, there is a clearly seen drop in the number of posts overall, which shows the drop in interested participation.

These are not good trends for this site and I believe it is direct result of mods not focusing on the priorities of the founder, rather their own agenda, allowing liars, fake doctors, simply rude members, bots and trolls to have free reign.

This should be solved, or this site may falter in short order.

I love Jim and his family and ALWAYS supported him and this site, both corporately and personally. I hope the current trend is reversed soon.

And EVERY ONE of these characters will say the problem is with the MODs giving FReeQs free reign.

Alinsky Rules.

I joined in 2000 but due to the things you mentioned, I left sometime in 2013, but didn’t stay gone. I was originally Melinda in TN but came back as Tennessee Conservative after lurking for a short time. The forum has changed, but not for the better. The harassment, even in the Q thread, is getting worse. Debate can’t be normal debate anymore without people that hold different opinions getting mad and acting out. That’s when I get mad and after a few times I mouth off. :-) There are a few I avoid. I tend to have a mind of my own and research everything that I read and I’m interested in. Some stuff is just silly and I scroll on by with a smile. The “I’m right and you are wrong” attitude gets my back up. IMO, 95% of the Q posters are wonderful people and they are only reason I continue to come to FR. I appreciate everything they do to bring out the truth.

And the trolls! Good decent members get put in FR jail for a fraction of what the trolls are allowed to do.

I also realized sometime around 2013 that the place was becoming infested with Feds. I am normally pro-law enforcement, but I no longer consider them to be law enforcement.

If the owners don’t clean house, and not of us, I don’t see FR being here a lot longer.

Agree.

Today there is a thread running which glorifies teacher-student sexual relations.

It is vulgar and demoralizing.

Very few are calling them out for it.

Too many lowlifes posting on FR lately.

Sounds a lot like what we are seeing happen to our country, eh?
