I hope that you don't leave. Rational minds will always prevail, but we do have to stick together. Ignore the screaming banshees.

It's not the flames I have recieved that bother me. It is instead the slide into irrational extremeism that now characterizes much of the forum that does.

- A large chunk of FReepers voted in polls here that they supported the governor calling out the Guard.

- A large chunk supported the use of children as political props, and getting them arrested and placed into danger.

- Many FReepers began PRAISING Jesse Jackson, and some even shilled for donations to him.

- Many FReepers posted nonstop Nazi imagery. Do they really think that everyone "gets" what they are trying to say, rather than just assuming that they are neo-Nazis themselves?

- Many FReepers are calling for solid Republicans to be thrown out of office "for not doing ENOUGH".

There are widespread calls for people to violate the law.

- Death threats to public officials has been tolerated.

What am I to think?

I'm just waiting for someone to demand that everyone in the WPPFF be banned. Hell, it's probably happened. Along with a threat to leave if we are not.
