That's how I got here. Someone had put up one of firehat's beauties and trying to trace the source I ended up at FR. Started lurking and then registered just to start flaming DonMorgan. Ha,ha!
Everything evolves and this is still the best place on the net.
You mean back when FR was about investigation, about being an alternative news source where you could find out things that government didn't want you to know - instead of regurgitating the mainstream news media and GOP press releases?
Yeah, those were better times....
Those posters (except for Don Morgan who was a racist) were fighting the kooks, radicals, conspirators, racists, fanatics, homophobes, and narrow-minded hypocrites that inhabited the forum to a much greater degree then than they now do.
I'm grateful to the mods for weeding out thousands of wackos.
