I'm not sure about that. Seems like they get a great deal of support here on the Forum. They are constantly at the forefront of FR related activism and always get the kudos they deserve.

I don't know. Kristinn has been in a few scrapes with PTB.

There is an unfortunate rift that developed between some East and West Coast FReepers, which resulted in the departure of Clinton's a liar (who introduced me to FR.com via a call to Rush Limbaugh years ago). I say this is unfortunate because I like and respect both parties to the dispute, and think both sides' hearts are in the right place, but they disagree on how we accomplish our objectives. It is my humble opinion that these differences would have been manageable were the disputees not on opposite sides of the continent, but I think there are still some frayed nerves in the debate.

I commend BobJ on creating this thread in the first place becuz I think he realizes that Intra-Party animosities detract from the long-term productivity of this Forum and its many offshoot organizations.
