Yeah. I understand Venn diagrams, but my point still stands. FR is what it is, and it doesn't mean that it's the intersection of the GOP and Conservatism....it isn't.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be Mike Savage threads. There wouldn't be "new planet discovered" threads. There wouldn't be physics threads. These are scattered all over the diagram and some are often excluded from the football-shaped intersection.

I don't even think JimRob thinks he makes FR what it is, like the garden analogy, he's just a gardener and he tries to weed and plant, but the final result is not really his direct creation.

JimRob has graciously allowed us to build communities here. In return, he expects us to basically agree with or assent to his mission. Or at least, not rub our disagreement in his face in a public way.

It’s still his place.

I’m sure you don’t have a problem with his being kind and generous towards us.

In return, we should respect his wishes and opinions, and behave ourselves in appropriate matters. If we have major disagreements with his mission statement, we shouldn’t really be talking politics here out of respect.
