I would estimate that over 1/2 of the threads on FR have one or more posts that are overly dramatic, if someone gets mad about that and responds with insults to the person, that’s all they would be doing all day long.
The point is, FR is full of people with very strong opinions on things, that’s part of the beauty of the place, you have to let it go versus hurling insults.
=====================
You know, I've been on here struggling against the Schwab WEF propaganda [since it flipped from Canadian Truckers Bad to Russian Man Bad], but I see where this thing is going.
We're going to end up with another Free Republic bloodbath/purge, and we're going to lose good freepers on both sides, and donations that should be keeping this place running.
I think that I'm just going to throttle back posting on this cr@p, no matter how outrageous the pro-Ukraine agitprop gets.
I have other interests on here that I can tend to. The Left is rubbing its hands over this FR schism like Pelosi at the State of the Huggies.
=====================
addendum: I don't know if you remember the FR illegal immigration fight long ago, or the FR primary wars of 2016, and how divisive those got.
Maybe we should just let the people on FR spouting the Schwab WEF line have their way.
Many of them are just old Cold Warriors, and apparently see no connection between cancelling the Canadian truckers three weeks ago, and cancelling the Russians today.
I'm not going to change their mind.
