Well, I’m a little reluctant because it could be mischaracterized. I’ve seen several “purges” on FR, the first in Dec ‘08 which is known as “The Night of the Long Knives”.
Two somewhat opposing factions had a fight which ended up sucking just about everyone on FR into it. People drew lines in the sand and it was conservative against conservative, mother against son, father against daughter, brother against brother.
There was no in between.
Jim had to finally step in and he ended up pretty much banning one side but I’m not so sure that was as much ideological as it was containing the damage through separating the two...for good.
i missed it. what were the sides? i must have been busy with my Christmas shopping Dec. 08.
Dang missed it, what was it about?
