RE: "There have been quite a few of them lately. It has sent me into my "mostly a lurker" mode."
The reduction in many FReepers interest in the website is becoming more common, I'm afraid, because of the wealth of vicious, nasty "single-issue/litmus tester" posters in the last few years.
My turning point away from te "Ooh, I love to post here and I do it ALL the time" attitude came from the nasty flames I receive every time I refuse to back the agenda of the "God hates f**s; go AIDS!" rednecks that are quite commonplace on this site.
Your post #379 is pure spinning and outright bull.
