Seriously, blood in the streets?

Oh yes and that was posted OFTEN.

They want/ed an armed, bloody revolution; but talk is big, for these keyboard commandos.

Seriously, blood in the streets?

Actually, that kind of fiery language was more common back then. FR was not so warm toward the federal government back then. Things are more sedate now. It's been a long time since people made death threats. Or got a visit from the Secret Service because of what they posted here.

Almost any executive order Xlinton signed would bring it out.

As far as candidates in 2000, I don't recall any blood in the streets stuff. But no one sees every thread. Still, I would have seen it if it was common. I recall getting a death threat from some guy (I won't name) but management banned him immediately. I wasn't the only one he was doing it to. But I wouldn't say that it was common.

I think a few people here are grinding an ax and they are exaggerating FR as having been some kind of unsavory forum. But it's not true. Discussion was passionate and sometimes unruly but rarely seditious.
