Time to move on. Too juvenile and too much name-calling. Not near the level of critical thinking that used to go on back in the day. I wish the best to all the good ones left out there.
You’re leaving has spawned So much interesting comments,I am considering an Exit strategy Myself!
Adios Amigo.
It is a shame. FR used to be really impressive, with enough good minds and good debaters (and often people directly or closely involved with the story or the location to give it real context) that it was extremely educational. Now, it doesn’t have a tenth of that anymore... but it’s still worth hanging around, as long as you’re good at ignoring the posts that are a waste of bandwidth.
Neither did DITHF :)
Now "that's funny, I don't care who you are."
So you find FR to be unimpressive, full of weak minds and poor
debaters not in the least connected with the story or location.
Can you provide serial examples?
Now, it doesn’t have a tenth of that anymore... but it’s still worth hanging around
Based upon what data? Posts that YOU dislike?
Let's have a sample of those as well.
as long as you’re good at ignoring the posts that are a waste of bandwidth.
Once again.. examples, please.

I don’t know I thought the pic of the monkey holding the chicken was pretty educational. :-)
anyone who claims Joe Paterno was a “pedophile enabler” is a moron whose opinion — on any topic whatsoever — is not to be taken seriously
Not really...while it’s true they are childish and ignorant, you have no basis to make a statement about their propriety to speak on ‘any topic whatsoever’ ...
the actual truth about the Penn State “cover-up” is slowly coming out
Perhaps, but sadly the damage to Paterno’s legacy is already done...truly tragic; much like the classic literature he loved so much...
I’m occasionally accused of being one of them
It was after an unpleasant exchange with you (about football, believe it or not) I debated checking out...not because of your input, but my own, as I found myself seeking to debase you yourself, and not your argument...and at that point, one’s contributions are moot and unworthy...I have striven towards civility since then, don’t know if I’ve been successful...
Too juvenile and too much name-calling.
In all fairness, you must admit you’ve done quite a bit of that yourself...you called me an ‘idiot’ on a few occasions, because I don’t subscribe to some of your premises regarding PSU; which doesn’t bother me at all, because I knew you were more emotionally invested than I, and upset by some childish behavior on the part of some...
but, fair’s fair...
Oh, there was always name calling. I’ve been called so many names over the years and it hasn’t been in just the recent ones. Early on, I was invited by freepmail to join some sort of racist klan. Ha! He invited a heathen Jew into his racist Klatch! Maybe you just outgrew the whole back and forth. Fair enough.
Still, if you are a good person and love this country or conservative ideals, stick around. You don’t want a world without freedom. And freedom means EVERYONE gets to live their way. Jim has the ultimate rule around here, but he does allow quite a free discourse and it’s good for us all. You can’t start any fire without friction.
That has nothing to do with what I said
Yes, the AYBABTU threads were a zenith of intellectual achievement.
PS: You’re a n00b ;)
Yea we should since it's ignorant comments like yours that are of no relevance whatsoever other than vitriol that are slowly driving people away.........
Once they all leave, who's going to be left around here? You and whoever are your buddies?
He does/did but his latest thread posting drew the anticipated attack which was not appropriately moderated despite his and mine objection to what was posted. So be it..and so much for his friends.
FlJoePa will be missed............
Well, bye.
You ain't been around long enough to make such an ignorant comment to FlJoe..........so stick it up your badass...........
It's the ignorant jerks like you that finally drove FlJoePa away just as you've driven away other family members such as Alegra.
And none of them came to his defense on his last Penn State Womens volleyball thread which was his last straw..............
How sad is you life when someone feels the need to write a goodbye letter to a website. Pathetic.

If and when I would leave I would write a loving goodbye. It has been sixteen years. I have some friends here and lot of respect for a lot of people on this site.
LMAO!!! :D
As Bubba Clinton would say, put some ice on it, Pepper Boy.
Pathetic
