My beepers are also stuned!
“ almost useless sources such as foxnews/nypost/breitbart…”
Well, let’s not forget that the Hunter Laptop story was led by the New York Post. Yeah, it’s Murdoch and very often wrong and annoying but it’s still more useful than many other sources. And personally, I think Breitbart is quite valuable.
The Ukraine arguments every day are useless due to certain of the participants, but they, like all other postings, are easily skipped over.
I remain grateful to American Hero Jim Robinson and his family for creating and running this great site.
*** As far as the religion stuff, be glad you aren’t LDS. I felt sorry for them. ***
The only time in 25 years on FR I received a 3 day suspension was for defending the LDS/Mormons on this site. Not a LDS, nor have I ever been, but the banning, and vitriolic actions visited upon them was intolerable to me.
I just looked and the main anti LDS hater is still posting on FR after 27 years on this site.
I hit the abuse button on your comment yesterday in which you posted to another FReeper, “hope your fat pig of a wife gets raped “
Your post was removed, so I can’t cite it, but I am not sorry you are leaving FR.
“ Antisemitism? I also have ZERO tolerance for that hideous evil, but I have never seen anything even remotely like that on Free Republic!”
I have and reported it. I let the mods take it from there. Where I am frustrated is with blog pimps. Mods don’t seem to care about that, as we see almost everyday from Nextrush.
“The quality of FR has degraded to the point that I no longer find much usage for the site that I can’t find on other platforms and sources. “
I saw it like this during the Bush years.
whaat? are you kidding?!
Many good points, although there’s not cost to stay as a “member” and just ignore postings to the site. But this way you get to tell us why and suffer the slings and arrows of those who are responsible.
lol...
There are replies after you so you’re off the hook!
:P
WOW thanks for saying what i have been thinking for a while now
I’ll try again
Take some time to get a different perspective. No gold in a silver mine. No future for chilonim.
Try listening to a few different rabbis:
Yosef Mizrachi
Mendel Kessin
‘Machon Shiloh’
Rafi Mollot
Lawrence Hajioff
Uriel Vigler
sample!
My biggest complaint about FR is that the quality of opuses has declined dramatically over the years.
youre just not “Cool” enough to talk to!!
Good response
I hate the paid Russian trolls that stick up for Putin, and I agree an edit button is long overdue.

This Jew here says bye and shalom.
“I get most of my political news from X nowadays”
I spend some time on X also. It’s entertaining, but it can be hard to separate what is real and what is not. Just the same, some good FR readers/contributors may have diverted their attention to X.
Some of my posts (or comments) get the attention that I think they deserve, some not. That’s the way it goes.
I have made my share of knee-jerk responses, so I cannot blame others for their knee-jerk responses. Sometimes I’m fortunate that a poster provides a really knowledgeable response.
I like many articles from American Thinker, and I think it’s a good sign when someone posts from AT. They just put up a pay wall and I think FR will be degraded as a result.
It would be nice to edit one’s comments. In principle it should not be necessary but, try as I might, I often spot a mistake after posting.
I’ve noticed a few mild anti-Jewish comments. I wish these posters would expand so that I could understand their thinking.
I tune out the few that are not mild. “The Jews are committing genocide” is stupid regardless of the identity of the speaker. Good luck avoiding that kind of comment.
Some Christian religious leaders and denominations have been criticized too. So what? I think the last Pope was a disaster. The leadership of many mainline Protestant denominations are about as bad. The problem is leftism in each case. Jewish conservatives should see a problem with Jewish leftism, much as Catholic/Protestant conservatives should see a problem with leftism among Catholics/Protestants.
I never got around to it but I strive to be less dramatic than others. Instead, I just hang in the shadows.
I’ve been here longer than today’s exiting member.
Nobody cares about that either.
