As for being "less than honest", lets not forget what the genesis of that site is. What do you expect? A thank you?
Just take a look at some of the posts on this thread. Bashing seems to be a way of life to some people. Yet they are the same people carping and kvetching about FR being bashed.
i have bashed no one and i happen to think that the way things worked out is the best for all concerned. the posters there seem very happy with their site and those of us still here are just as happy not to have to listen to the rudy crap 24-7 that we were subjected to in the past. some people i really liked went there and again, i think the break was inevitable and healthier than the volatile brawl that this place was when they were still here. in my humble opinion, it needed to happen.
Yes, let's not.
Some people couldn't resist lying about a conservative candidate in order to make a liberal look better, and were warned then banned.
Other people threw hissy fits about their favorite FReeper being banned and behaved in a way that provoked their own banning.
A few more walked away because they didn't like the bannings of the first two categories.
"Less than honest" would be making those departed persons victims.
The ‘genesis of that site’ took place way before the bannings!
It was formed months ago by disgruntled haters of conservative candidates.
Yep, the WAcko anti-FReeper site started because conservatives, and I quote, "have had your foot on our necks for too long."
