I say this as someone who thinks that injustice is being done, and that her tube should have been reinserted pending a review of the facts. Those threads are hitting lynch mob mentality, and FReepers of any standing should denounce it. We laugh about how the Michael Moore wing of the left has taken over the Democratic Party. Now it's happening to us, and the best we seem to muster is, 'Well, try not to break the law please'.
This is a good example of why "that site" will never be worth FR's spit. The most important story in recent years with enormous implications, and they don't even let you post on it. I've seen lots of sites die from admins playing god.
And here's to hoping they won't be around for long.
I am going to be brave and post what might be my last post given the conflagration I expect.
I love Christian people and am from a long line of real Christians. My father taught men's bible class at the Methodist Church for fifty years. One of my ancestors was the builder of one of the oldest Methodist Churches in the country. My great great grandfather was a circuit rider.
But I am tired of the religiosity on the TS threads. The endless bible verses, the placing everything in a religious context, the sermonizing and demonizing and endless endless assumptions that everyone here is an evangelical Christian.
I have said it and I mean it and I suspect others do. Usually I don't reply to these posts but they are becoming every post. I want to say "let it go already"
It will be because the GOP has demonstrated that they are not worth the support we have been giving them.
Nevertheless, you were around during the "Elian Gonzales" threads? The one on five Easter Sunday's ago (to the day) when Elian was seized at gunpoint by Janet Reno and forceably returned to Communist Dictatorship? Now THAT was some discussion on FR.
