I have followed both stories via FR closely.

Sorry, you thought "paranoid" was a lame comment, but due to the revolving nature of this site, the amount of new people signing up and basic human nature, I felt is was a way to let FReepers know it was a joke.

There was a time in the past this was a website for serious constitutional / political discussions instead of a glorified chat room.

Not complaining, everything changes, but it used to be a more reflective place when membership was under a 1,000

Members used to know when you were kidding.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments..Perhaps a small site of your own would be more to your taste...

This glorified chatroom as you call FR...was the first with the breaking news on the Space Shuttle.....FR was also first when President Bush went to Baghdad....FR was first to point out Dan Rather was pulling a scam on the American people and trying to bring down a US President .....with fake papers.

So please don't call FR a GLORIFIED chatroom.
