FR is bigger than any one poster. People come, people go, but FR goes on. Some can handle it, some can't. Those that can, stay. Those that can't hack it, well, you know the rest.

I wish I were that articulate.

I'm genuinely glad I could help give voice to your's and others' point of view.

Speaking as a long-timer, we go through this mess once or twice a year (often right around FReepathon time).

And often on April Fools Day! ;o)

Actually, we need to record not just the best opuses, but also the best laments and predictions that go with them. I think the golden age of laments had to come when Trixie left, with CaL's (and the other Keyes-or-Bust crowd) exit coming in a close second. I mean, there were more predictions of FR's demise than cans of beans in the Y2Ker's basements (remember that dust-up?).

Heck, half the fun of a good opus is all of the solemn declarations about how FR will never be what it used to be...

There is a lot of unintentional irony on this thread. I'm assuming it's unintentional. Maybe I'm wrong.

If you are leaving, this place will never be what it was.

Spare me the dramatics, puh-leeze.

FR is much bigger that egomaia that is exhibited in the usual opuses.

>>"You are not worth it."
Why would anyone care what you think? You are obviously a panty waist who can neither engage in reasoned discourse nor rough and tumble.

Given the number of wimps that are polluting FR, I going to buy Kleenex stock.

Boo Hoo. What a puss.<

You have no idea how wrong you are.

You said..."That is someone attempting to appear to be a member of the religious right by acting according to their own personal opinion of how a religious person acts."

BINGO

Some people want this site to not be taken seriously.

So that the serious stuff that IS discussed here gets lost in the confusion.

Standard agitprop.

"They called me a death cultist Nazi doctor for reading a CT scan,"

You sound like me. It has mattered not what you felt about the ultimate decision. (with which, I did not agree, either.)

Just simply, factually, and logically disputing the tinfoil, or rumors such that she was only kept from doing the polka after a speech at the UN, by her husband who refused her therapy and toothbrushing, and did so for fear she'd tell how he strangled her...   made us part of the nazi death cult who wanted to kill her. If we didn't admit it, we were liars.

"and I'm staying."

Good. Too many aren't - even if they've left silently.
I've always juggled between multiple favorite web forums, so it's not like I leave or stay. lol

I've just been very disappointed to see FR and some conservative politicians drop their standards in terms of research, and vetting sources and spokespeople.

I hate seeing justifiable criticism of hypocrisy come at us from liberals. Our credibility is critical.

Oh, and perhaps you didn't know but the owner of the site said it the other night. "Facts" don't matter.

Nope, didn't know it. And knowing JimRob a bit, I rather doubt that's what happened. But even if it's the exact truth, so what? Then I guess JimRob and I would disagree. God forbid!

FreedomSurge, you may want to change your screen name to Clueless after those comments.
