While I seldom post here, I have enjoyed reading your posts. Your love for Britain and support of the USA is much appreciated.
I am another who totally understands your desire to put your energies to better use than sparring with perpetual malcontents. Deny them an audience. Negativity, diviseness, and rancor appear to be their 'oxygen'.
I send prayers and good wishes in all that you do and wherever you're led.

Ivan, you were the very first poster I ever posted to on FR. I asked you what a ping list was and after receiving your typical gracious explanation, asked to be put on yours. I loved the articles you posted and insights you brought to the forum. Still do.
I understand your criticisms and also believe they are valid. I do ask you to reconsider or at least try just a temporary break, though.
I'm afraid the dark forces that are at work on FR will win if enough of us leave. And they don't deserve to win.
Regardless of your decision, I am proud to call you FRiend. Changing taglines back to one of my early ones just for you Ivan. Meant it then, and still do.
