Freepers, as they refer to themselves, are at best a wild and woolly bunch whose message board discussions can evoke images of barroom brawls as portrayed in a John Wayne Western.
(You know, the visiting Ingénue sits on the bar with a teapot as she waits for a chance to smash it on the head of an evildoer as they coast past her position while Granny knits quietly in the corner and trips everyone who comes within range)
And Codrea is a professional gun magazine writer whose online commentary frequently includes obscure sentences of the *We discussed that HERE(HTML Link) and HERE(HTML Link) and HERE(HTML Link) * variety leading readers through a rabbit warren maze of topics and references that would make Google proud.
So it is probably no surprise in a head -to-head collision confusion and incoherence will abound in all directions

Apparently David Codrea started it.
Best regards to all,
Examiner writers get paid by the page views, so they don’t like their stuff to be copied elsewhere.

The Examiner is a collection (for the most part) of blog pimps, including at least 2 former FR members who sulked away because they couldn’t get away with the incessant pimping of their respective blogs at FR’s expense.

Actually, it’s more like that holding pen where Spartacus dunked the gladiator trainer Marcellus into the hot soup, drowning him.
I remember that in that holding pen, they showed someone grabbing a vegetable knife off a wall, in preparation for the coming batle.
FR, is that pen, where we sharpen our words into knives and swords.
Good hunting Freepers!
