Someone also posted autopsy photos of the woman who was starved to death by the Scientologists. I doubt her family appreciated that little invasion of privacy and lack of common decency.
Between that and all the "Greer as Mussolini" photos, it's not surprising anyone would consider this a strange website (I'm being generous). All this outrageous, offensive, hyperbolic, unchristian, meanspirited hysteria and namecalling didn't save Terri Schiavo's life, but it may have destroyed FR.
Oh good grief! Mark Twain said it best - "The reports of my death were highly exaggerated." FR is 50X more resilient any of the whiners can understand. And no, it won't won't fold because a few members, with overinflated views of their importance, write OPUS's and depart. THE BENCH IS WIDE AND DEEP!
From one old timer(lurked since LD Brown spoke at the March for Justice on CSPAN) to another - FR will survive. There may be some changes in the posters, but it'll survive. It survived Elian. It survived 2000(And I was a 3rd party leaner until I got my absentee ballot and voted with the NRA). It even survived losing its top enemy in Bill Clinton. It's even survived cases of "office politics", which is the meanest type of politics I've ever been a part of(with a different org). It'll certainly survive the departure and posts of a few drama queens with the Nazi BS smears from many on one side and religious bigotry by some on the other.
A month, two months from now, this story will die down, and things will get back to normal slowly, until salvos fired off with the next big issue arrives, as these things happen until it's election season when FR peaks.
Some will stay, and some will leave, but FR will still be there.
