If you notice my absence tomorrow, it is not because I won’t be watching the trial.
I will, but think I will go to other more “civil” forums to avoid the bickering, name-calling and “shouting” here.
It is a shame that this has happened to my very long time favorite, first to “go-to” site, but it has.
Most of you know why. I will miss the good posters, but am too old to put up with this nonsense. I guess it is what happens when a site gets too popular.
noooo! You place some of the better posts here. You MUST stay!
Oh, hang in with FR...don’t leave us to the crazies. LOL Really, most of us are normal.
Please reconsider.
Pretty emotional , isn't it ? What I find interesting is that the most bickering/name-calling/shouting comes from the females.
Have you noticed this ?
I'm not trying to make the females on here mad, I love you all. It's just that I notice a big shift to mostly female posters during the day.
Other forums are OK, but they just don’t have the FLOW and TRACKING that F.R. has.
You can tell on F.R. just what poster made posts to you, and who you are replying to.
On other websites I have seen, all you do is throw up your opinion with only has your user name listed and then read the comments that occur after yours. You can’t tell for sure whether they are responding to you specifically nor who your response was addressed to.
It’s like a big meeting with everyone yelling at once, and no one listening.
I wish you luck and peace there, and I welcome your return if and when you decide. You were just becoming ‘popular’ with the Day Shift Zimmerman crowd.
The trend you noticed is not only on this thread, it is becoming quite wide-spread ion FR.
Just my opinion. . .
Recall the days when people would use characters instead of letters when referencing a profanity, or a time when name-calling (and using a profanity) was something frowned on and self-moderated.
That was when FR was adult, intellectual in their postings and was proud they were not like lefty sites because we (FR) would not “go there.” Today, we pride ourselves on not going there as much as lefty sites.
The coarsening of America continues. . .
