Thank you for a well thought out and reasoned post.

I know many others who no longer post here for similar reasons. They just never opused out. They just quit posting.

Can’t say as I disagree with your reasons, but I still do find FR the best site available for finding the most conservative viewpoints in one place.

And my favorite thread is..... the gardening thread although I GREATLY appreciate the labor intensive Threat Matrix.

Thanks for the dissertation...

Good luck.

Actually, I am using FR more these days.

Every major and most other so called news sites want a lot/too much of our signin/logon data and post it.

Also, today, a lot of paid B$ poses as news. Certain posters are paid per word and are worthless. So, I just move on and use FR, without their B$.

At the age of 86, I don’t want to waste my time on B$ posing as news.

Thanks Jim!!!

“They just never opused out.”

I laughed out loud at that sentence. There probably have been some swan songs. I seem to remember a few.

At a radio station where I worked, progressive rock format, I overheard our general manager talking on the phone. "If you don't like what you hear on our station, use the tuning dial on your radio." Moving to another platform is your right; good for you in exercising that right.

For the record, do not lump me with "Jew haters." I lived in a NJ suburb in my early years; my family was one of two Christian families in the neighborhood. Never felt threatened being surrounded by Jews. Later in life, I helped a Jewish person who ran an annual conference, and did it for 36 years.

I'm also concerned about the quality of discourse; I can live with the "noise," and ignore it, looking for the few pearls that appear on FR.

I wish you well.

The site is quite antiquated for it being 2025. The only thing that annoys me are the blatant propagandists and their posts. I would like to see some changes to a more modern easier to use site. I think the younger conservatives mostly stay away because there aren’t easy ways to upload images too. You have to know code or use a third-party service to create the code to post something. The younger sect are attached to graphics like I was for beer in my younger days lol.

Jaysin, I joined about 6 months before you.

I don’t think the level of discourse has dropped. There were always jerks.

Stay.

If there us an antisemite like machomaga, then point out his errors. Don’t let him win

Thank you. I’ve been wondering about the Jew-hating crew that hangs around. Strikes me as 2 or 3 guys with 10 screen names, as they repeat the same garbage.

Bye! You never really contributed much yourself, so it seems you just wanted others to do it for you.

I guess you’ve chosen not to ignore the a-holes here, and to simply give up. I’ve been here for 26+ years, and have no plans on leaving until the day I die. I’m a fighter like President Trump.

I’ve been seeing “antisemitism” thrown around so much it’s well on the path to becoming as watered down and toothless as racism/racist.

Some may, but not all do.

The ones I know didn’t.

They just quit in disgust.

It’s not a train station
You don’t have to announce your departure
I do hope you get your money back for the right to read and post on the forum.

Oh….wait

Perhaps. But he has valid points, whether he’s a newbie or not.

I know the antisemitism is bad when people don’t even recognize it right in front of their faces.

Thanks for the ping.

Agree especially with your point (B).

If a reincarnated James Madison began posting new material at FR under a screenname, 95% of the comments would respond to the titles of his works rather than their substance.

Sad.

I would love for FR to become a political powerhouse again that it once was...

I was the first to call for RFK, Jr. to drop out of the race and endorse President Trump. I did this on Sunday, August 4,2024 after weeks of tracking the polls where RFK, Jr. was taking votes away from Trump more than Harris.

On Monday, August 5, 2024, Clay Travis repeated the call for RFK, Jr. to drop out and endorse President Trump. I'm assuming that he saw my post on FR the day before.

On August 23, 2024, the Trump camaign released a memorandum announcing the endorsement of Kennedy after he dropped out of the race.

I'm taking the credit for being the first to discover this trend and calling for Kennedy to drop out and endorse President Trump. Travis picked up on this and publicized it on his show. The Trump pollsters verified the trend and began backdoor negotiations with Kennedy to do what I suggested.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

-PJ
