Ferret, I know you actually do want FR to succeed. You've often mentioned that the only way to keep YOUR sides excesses in check is to have a vibrant and healthy body on our side, holding the left accountable.

But I would have rewritten this if I were you. A LOT. For example, this: "we will crush the FR and remove it like a malignant tumor" is absolutely inflamatory and serves no purpose other than to set others faces against you.

Oh well. Too late now. I think you squandered an opportunity to try to have a good discussion on the things you are concerned about.

Your point is well taken, and I would like to see Free Republic survive. I agree I should have edited that part of the post before transferring it here.

This thread is intended to foster diolog in any event. If I am truly well debunked, I would be most pleased.

Hey Laz, good to see you.

I've had a few good discussions with ferret over the years. I had always believed his motives were genuine though methods were misbegotten (IMHO) and were certainly not something I agreed with.

I am afraid he revealed a little too much of his true nature here. This rant marks him, IMHO, as an abject socialist at best, and more likely a marxist or anarchist sympathiser. The latter leads to the former, hand in hand. It is their method and way, the true definition of useful idiots.

On top of that, despite the disagreement he has with JR and FR, he has been banned and returned under different names, knowing well the proprietor's wishes. He has posted articles from sites the proprietor has indicated he did not want the info from. In short, he has, and is showing total disrespect and disregard for the rights of the owner here...not too out of keeping with the anarchists he tries to warn about.

He may have (from his perspective) cause for his disagreements...but he compounds his own problem and reveals something about his character by carrying on in the way I just described. It is not something to be respected IMHO.

Sad thing.

Take care bro. Good to see you in passing.
