I’m not saying FR is a hate site but there are enough people making comments that could be construed as hateful that it is, IMO, almost impossible to defend against that kind of accusation.

Yeah, and the flip side is, there are people out there with agendas who will deliberately misconstrue posts to slime FR. You know, folks like you, Bob.

Nobody has to misconstrue anything. 98% of the postings are innouous, political mishmash but that 2% is what’s going to kill FR everytime it’s “representatives” debate about it being a “hate site” or not.

And anybody who believes it won’t effectively be bludgeoned that way are not seeing the threads in question or have blinded themselves to the truth.

I’m not saying FR is a hate site, I’m saying there are some hateful people here that for some reason don’t have their posts pulled or accounts removed. Maybe it’s too big a job for the mods. In any event there was a time when I would publically defend FR against such accusations but not now, There are just too many ugly incidents in the archives to make a credible case.

And that’s the fact no matter how much it hurts.
