Free Republic has had its ups and downs. I've seen a number of purges when a group of troublemakers disappear. Sometimes they come back with new names.

Recently (perhaps since the election) things have gotten mean around here. I did a very unscientific test and checked the sign-up date for three jerks who were annoying me about four days ago. Every single one of that group signed up in June 2010. Could be a coincidence. I dunno.

But there are definitely people on here who are not Conservatives and who are just trying to bring down the level of discussion to something more like the muddle-headed mumblings you can see over at DU.

Right now may not be the most contentious I've ever seen here, but it ranks up there.
