I now pretty much just read the articles I’m interested in and skip the comments and commenting.
Things really started going downhill when Humblegummer was allowed to stay and abuse everyone. I don’t ping him because my contempt for him is so strong that I feel he is not worthy of that simple courtesy.
But prior to that, even 20 years ago there were some real waste of bandwidth posters. Once I made a comment about Israel and the Pallies that an ex military poster thought was too weak.
He followed me around from post to post for weeks, pinging his buddies to any comment I would make, for all of them to insult me with the likes of “pedophile”
because I had recently commented that I had a newborn son.
So yes, it can be pretty distasteful here sometimes. But just read the articles for their own value, ping the mods on out of bounds comments, and let the rest float on by.
“But just read the articles for their own value...”
I’m just here for the [humerus(sic)] graphics.....
I skipped over the insults to the Q group, a group of very good people who had a few conspiracy theories but who also followed the good advice of Q to do their own research and not just believe in summary articles, but the remark on Humblegunner, misspelled so he wouldn’t find it?, stopped me.
Humble uses satire to make his points. But I’ve found him to be one of the nicest Freepers around. A good man with a penchant for making his points in ways that aren’t always understood. Just as The Greatest President Ever was often misinterpreted by those reading his humor literally.
But perhaps it was inevitable to find personal insults in a thread on insults. Sigh.

Good news! TERMINATED!
Humblegunner drove away so many young conservatives who were getting exposure on their sites by posting articles and links. The way wnd and a host of others used to do.
No the site is dying. Sad
