Jim did not set up and run the Forum for us specifically, he is doing it because of his love of country and because we told him the country needs it. On the flip side, we should not feel Jim's owes us anything either. Whether one posts, donates, runs a chapter or engages in activism activities, remember that we all are here for our country, no one individual.

This is one of the few sites on the web that exists simply because a group of individuals choose to get together to trade information. The lead individual is Jim Robinson, who started this whole thing before cell phones became fashion accessories.

I agree with you, Bob. And I agree with the poster who said, "Jim's house, Jim's rules."

There's a reason this forum has had such a long run. The "owners" don't mess with it any more than necessary. Its gotten so large that its drawn national attention, and Jim wisely installed moderators to insure that we don't become an embarrassment to Conservatives. That was a very smart move, considering the left's favorite tactic is personal destruction (cheap, simple, and can be easily farmed out to useful idiots as busy work), and the Eschoir episode taught Mr. Robinson to be very careful and watch his back.

BTW -- what happened with Connie Hair? I missed a bunch of stuff (obviously).

The quick answer is she left when she wanted to take FR in a different direction than Jim wanted to go. I'll always remember the day she called me and said "We don't need Jim's permission, we can do what we want."

I'd say that was the beginning of the end.
