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 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.

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.

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