“I’ve read every post in this thread so far and you represent a singular MINORITY.”
Exactly. My only point, and one that I suspect may get me banned after nearly a decade of membership, is that I am a conservative who dissents on this occasion from the majority view.
I believe that there are tens or even hundreds of thousands of others who depend upon this site, as posters or lurkers, who don’t buy into every aspect of the conservative bedrock. I defer to Jim Robinson as to whether he wants to turn them away to the dozens of other sites that are every bit as conservative but in my opinion not as good and not with the potential that FR has to influence public opinion.
I dissent to his original post, which is my prerogative. If Jim Robinson intends to stifle dissent on this site, which seems to me what he is saying, then of course that is his prerogative. But he should be a big enough person to make his reasons clear; and he should do everyone a service and be less vague than in his original post regarding the nature of dissent that he will and won’t abide.
I really don’t think he wants to become a thought policeman, though, and I will be disappointed if he takes that line.
