Because FR has become a hate filled site where anyone with a slightly different view of the world is pilloried. No one is here for discussion any more. Many come to make themselves feel better by being bullies.
And losing many of those folks results in a decline in the stories that are posted. Nowadays you have to flip through anti catholic BS, Civil War redux, and a whole list of other crap before you can find a decent story that cannot be found anywhere else.
It is tiring wading through the mud. The moderators should tighten up on the garbage. But if you up against some of their favorites, you get whacked.
From my observations of over 10 years, I can’t dispute or argue with a single point. Your honesty is refreshing and accurate. Thanks.
