This is precisely why these people are scared to death of a forum such as FR. They know that an individual blog is easy to discredit. By nature, a forum is much more difficult to attack. Collateral damage and such. My opinion is that forums, such as this, are the epitome of freedom of expression. Bounded by civility and respect.
Thank you very much for putting a million thoughts into a few sentences.
The ironic part to me is that the entire article is a carefully crafted 'blog' intended to provide the reader with an opinion designed by our real enemy.
I have always appreciated, and done my best to respect the rules here on FR. They are what makes it 'different' than a blog, and the intention is to have the public believe FR and websites run by similar rules are 'blogs'.
The enemy must lie to win.
Blogs are just 'chatrooms' for so called adults.
Expose to everyone your total ignorance and education level while pretending to be something you aren't.
I find that we here on FR 'expose' ourselves, in our shortcomings, but that is a good thing for all of us.
Instead of insisting on our particular brand of ignorance and naivety above all else, most posters on FR attempt to use their talents to get to the roots of things.
And you are absolutely correct. Respect, given and received, is the basis for rules on this website, and that is thanks to Mr. Jim Robinson, who is a real Veteran, and has my total respect.
