****However, JimRob does have a fundamental instinct toward the most free speech he can grant here at FR. It’s just that some FReepers make it hard for him to do that sometimes without have a circus of flamewars.***

As a veteran of the old flame war days, I can say that I have never seen a thread here that approached that type of flame war. In the flame wars of the early to middle 90’s, it was a balance to see how nasty you could be without getting kicked off the forum. Sorry Freepers, but the old TH forum was the best forum ever on the Internet. I would say that Freepers approached it in the late 90’s. In its last few years, TH became a self regulating forum with virtually no moderators. If a person was a real jerk or A@@hole, people just never responded to his posts and he went away. I would think that if the old TH was still going, the arguments against Ron Paul would be on a much higher intellectual level than what I have seen here. IOW, his opponents would be discussing why his non interventionist policy was incorrect rather than calling him a coward.
