I don't think it is a putdown, but I think they have the wrong idea on what FR is. FR is a forum, not a blog. As I understand it, a blog is a journal written by a personality for others to read, while forums are more interactive and enable an almost unlimited number of people to communicate back and forth.

I am glad that we are still celebrating the difference. I would hate for FR to change into a BLOG on steroids; a big ongoing vanity.
I have no use for blogs. A varied source of news and commentary suits me just fine.

Excellent analysis. It also represents the constituencies; the Democrats want to speak for "lesser", "quite" people who they perceive as not being equal whereas the Republicans are a party of FREEDOM-RESPONSIBILITY where people in society are more or less equal.

"I don't think it is a putdown, but I think they have the wrong idea on what FR is. FR is a forum, not a blog."

IMO, they're using "blog" to convince themselves that 80,000 conservatives, sick to death of being lied to by the media, are harmless crackpots (we're giving them nightmares) AND to redefine us as something they think the FCC will regulate (they're after alleged "blogs" that illegally coordinated to political campaigns)

I dunno, I view FR as my blog and the rest of you are just supporting staff.
