You didn't ask any specific question. Your post sounded quite rhetorical, esp. with that 'harsh truths' comment at the end. Maybe you weren't around to see what some folks version of 'harsh truths' were. Also, before commenting maybe you ought to read the thread that prompted the departure of Mike and Rod in the first place.

I didn't read that thread, but I've been here long enough to know that there are plenty of anti-intellectuals on this furom who have the liberal attitudes that whitey is always at fault for everything and that anyone who wants to secure the boarder is a mean cold racist.

I am not a racist, but I've had enough of the politcal correctness that issues of race can only be talked about if a minority is making a point. If you don't like it, then go somewhere else or get Jim Robinson to ban me.

I generally leave for 6 months or more because the "true" conservatives around here are so tiresome. I come back during really big events but don't usually last much beyond the event that brings me. I admire your ability to stick it out.

[rmmcdaniell]

Who was it that said "I know one when I see one"?

In other word you don't have a definition and will use the race card like a liberal to smear anyone you don't like.

A hint? It's more like a Mack truck........LOL.

hehehehe... well, I didn't want to say as much. Sometimes what I see is not necessarily founded on reality, so I tend to censor what I actually mean.

You and I are still here. ;-)

Honestly, this whole issue really irritates the heck out of me. We have hundreds of really wonderful people here are FR (regular posters). A few nerds shouldn't have to power to run off our FRiends. We all need to get a lot meaner with the abuse button.

We all need to get a lot meaner with the abuse button.

Or we all need to grow a thicker skin and sharpen our arguments.

"Surrender" is spelled O-P-U-S.

LOL......I forgot the ID folks. Patrick Henry is one of those who still ensures that this forum is not taken over by the science-hating "sun revolves around the earth" kind.

[Howlin]

Oh, I've never even looked at those.......LOL. I *knew* better than that.

I learned early on that it was just better to stay off some threads; I once ventured onto a stem cell discussion thread and mentioned that my sister had had ovarian cancer and that she had had stem cell replacement to help her stave off infection and I believe it permitted her to live three years longer than she would have.

Before I could even get out that they were her OWN stem cells, some kind "Christian" woman on here informed me that my sister had "lived long enough and she didn't need to have a dead fetus' stem cells to prolong her life.

I've pretty much avoided abortion and "Christian" threads since then.

[birbear]

FR isn't the same. Hasn't been since the Terri Schiavo situation imho.

Yeah, things did start going a little off during that, didn't it?

[Wormwood]

If you cannot prove a poster has made a racist statement, it is irresponsible to imply that they are, in fact, a racist.

[rmmcdaniell]

People who throw around statements like you posted on this thread tonight, with such determination that you MUST be right.

What a hypocrite you are, All I’m doing is illustrating your own absurdity. This entire thread is bashing people who you claim to be closet racists because you MUST be right when in fact you have no idea.

[Wormwood]

Yeah, things did start going a little off during that, didn't it?

A little off?

And the Flood was a little damp.

If you don't like it, then go somewhere else or get Jim Robinson to ban me.

** Oh my friend I'd sooner leave than go groveling to Jim Rob about you. I could give a rat's ass what you say.

[puroresu]

Try being a Christian in an evolution debate. Talk about needing thick skin! :-)

Seriously, though, I hope the two fellows who left come back. I always thought their contribution here was positive.

[Marie]

(Admit it. you clicked on the "I have already previewed" button without actually previewing the post.)

Darn it! Yes, I did!!

[cyborg]

YES

When I click on your name it does say this account has been banned or suspended. Neat trick.
