A little too "self appointed important" wouldn't you say? However you have to agree he has a point.

Yeah, I suppose, maybe so. What the tadpole is guilty of (if anything) is thinking that they're so damned important that anyone at FR, ST, or any other forum really gives a damn about what they think of the forum(s) themselves.

Take me for example, I came to FR after running afoul of Schoolmarm Amy Sheehan (as I like to call her) over at L.Com, and I said 'AMF' and here I am at FR. But does that mean I was irreplacable at L.Com?

Hell no, and I'm not irreplacable here at FR either. The truth is, the most important content on FR (or any conservative site) is the news that gets highlighted that the LSM ignores, and the conservative perspective that posters provide for those news items. If I disappeared tomorrow, FR would go on without skipping a beat. Ditto for the tadpole, ditto for you.

The only truly irreplacable person is the founder/operator of FR (or other sites), because without them, the future of the site is in question under even the best circumstances.

But getting back to tadpole boy 'kinda' defending FR, FR doesn't need no stinnnnkin' defending, it stands on it's own, and nobody gives a rats ass what Sierra Times, or any other site thinks. For God's sakes, FR has Tony Snow himself (although Tony is more of a lurker than an active poster), but what does that say about FR?

It says the FR is considered more than just a vanity blog or forum, it is viewed as one might view a porthole on a ship: if you REALLY want to see what's going on, you open the porthole and poke your head through it.

Sometimes you get a crystal clear view of the horizon, sometimes you get a cold splash of water in your face.

And that's the way it should be.

Note to tadpole (sorry, that is now my nick for ya): if you were actually defending FR, my apologies for stomping on you. But truth be told, FR needs no defending, we just need to keep on doing what we do, day-in, day-out.
