Hey, I got pretty beat up, during Schaivo, not banned, but pulled. If there is any other cite, even close to this one, where I can get just about an unlimited amount of info on just about any subject, from people who really know what they are talking about; where I can read a synopsis of just about every news story out there; and where I can discuss my thoughts with other conservatives on those subjects and stories as I can on FR, then perhaps I might spend less time here. If you know of such a place, please let me know.
I did not even bother commenting on Schiavo it was truly and Over-Kill thread, many were really sick of how many threads were posted daily about it...
Exactly. Folks on all sides gave as good as they got. But they still used JimRob's bandwidth. So I can understand people being angry at other posters, but I don't understand how that translates into being angry at FR or JimRob.
I'm sure he and the other moderators did their best. But they can't police every thread all the time, so mud is always going to get flinged, especially on a subject that affects so many people in such an emotional way. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to try and keep all those threads civil.
We can always decide that we're not going to converse with certain posters. I think everyone here knows of a few screen names they intentionally avoid. But that's between the individuals and not between a poster and FR. And if everyone decides to penalize JimRob financially for the actions of others, then one day we may try to log on and find that FR is no longer here.
Once again, y'all are free to tell me that I'm being naive if you so wish.
