Yep, not much else you can say I imagine.
It is called the forum.
The people that slammed Hannity two years ago are not likely here anymore, to begin with.
Jim zotted them personally in most cases, or they left with tail between legs.
From JR's perspective, hannity is right in his criticisms of what happened to him personally, but I am right to be very upset, dismayed and angered at the shotgun blast leveled at everyone on this forum.
It is one heck of a lot better than it was before, and gets better all the time.
Some people are going to come here with a narrow mind, a motive, and sometimes a lousy immature argument style.
They are a minority and often do not last long.
Hannity threw a bomb that did not hit them. It hit those of us who try everyday to promote reasoned and civil arguments. We are pretty successful.
Hannity made a big mistake with his original comments, and now that I have heard the explanation I understand how he came to those conclusions.
He admitted he has not been on the forum in a couple years. He admits by that statement that he has no clue what it is like here any longer and what we go through to allow freedom of thought, yet civil discourse. He named some folks who we know to be of the same opinions and currently engaged in some cases with FR bashing from the outside.
Perfection will never be attained, but the struggle to get there is always a high priority. It must always be balanced by freedom to express ones views however. We are never going to please everyone. Not even most.
I hope people appreciate his fee based, highly regulated forum,but that quashes much of what makes FR as dynamic as it is.
