This is what passes for “discourse” these days on FR.

It's exactly the same type of discourse that has gone on ever since the beginning of FR. Those early freepers were saying the same thing.

Ask any of the 97 & 98 Alphas, and they will verify.

With logon info sadly long forgotten, I've been here since early 98.

But even back in the low '00s this place could turn into a barroom brawl at the drop of an innuendo or an ugly hat.

There's been a lotta ZOT 'tween then and now .. it's my impression that things have calmed considerably the last couple/few years.

But I'm gettin' older and tending toward sometimer's, so who knows !

lol

ps: for those waxing nostalgic, there's still Religion and the Smokey Backroom !
