Am I a punk, too, because I have no respect for people craving attention and spewing falsities (or at least misperceptions) about the forum?

I might answer your question if you can tell us all what statements were "false" and how you know, for a fact, they were.

The garbage, which has now appeared on three opi (opuses?) in recent weeks (coincidence? I think not), about the decline of civility on this forum. What a bunch of hooey. (Oh, my word, was I just engaging in the decline of civil discourse? My deepest apologies to all my FReeper brethren.)

Anyone who has been here more than a few months knows we have an occasional exodus (although I give GOPCap credit; he at least waited until the FReepathon was over) accompanied by chest-beating and ashed over the head. Then most of them come back, often under different screen names. And as far as the mood/civil discourse, this place is no different than the day I first stumbled upon it prior to the MFJ.
