“I really do think that some of the negatives of the chans, the casual personal attacks, insults, and crude language has seeped over to FR via this thread, and that it’s unfortunate.”

Once and for all, Jack, we find your comments are usually transparently divisive and more pessimistic than we as a group care to bother with.
We know you and we don’t like your posts. You’re like Shep Smith...pretending to be fair and balanced but really just a contrary drag on the discussions.
Do us a favor and forget you ever knew about the Q thread.
I have a whole inbox of people from this thread thanking me for my posts.
They don't say it openly here because of the climate that a few people have created.
Besides: the rules are we can only talk about Q on FR on this thread.
I don't think pointing out that the thread has a problem maintaining the standards of civility that typify Free Republic is pessimistic. I think it's optimistic. I remain hopeful that we can raise the level of discourse here so that it doesn't include name calling, and rude comments.
