I didn’t see the shout downs, I just see these NeverTrump types still on FR today posting articles about whatever random thing comes across their transom and it makes me wonder about their motivations.
If they are indeed on some FR “op” then they relish the shout-downs, because we are honing some antiTrump argument for them.
I have found that the best way to deal with those 'types' of posters is just to NOT REPLY to anything they post.
Nothing bothers that 'type' more than being ignored.
