Fascinating post. I joined FR during the FL flap, but didn’t know anything about the FReepers moves that you describe. Post saved to my hard drive.

It's a fair take, I think.

Also, we hear complaints from newer members about all the spatting over candidates here currently (too mean-spirited, ect.). An open presidential primary does that in either party. It was very very lively here in 1999 and 2000, maybe a little more than it has been recently. But it only got really hot in the late fall of 1999. It did start much earlier this time.
