You both do understand my point, right?
Have either of you posted an article? It takes a little effort and many times you get the dreaded “links from blah blah are not welcomed” or site only allows excerpts or site doesn’t allow Free Republic to post message. Why not tell us right away before we even complete all the fields?
Why not do a quick query to see if the link or title hasn’t been posted. It is simple technology with the modern web.
Honestly, I don’t visit as much or post like I used to. I don’t know all the reasons. Maybe, disgust at Obama and the direction of the country or maybe a little with the antiquity of what I view as the greatest political site of all time.
I also don’t enjoy the over the top cynicism and lack of humor that FR has trended toward. Maybe, everyone is just annoyed and grumpy with the course of the nation and just taking it out on each other. It is too a little too much like the bashing from the comment sections under articles and Facebook, or maybe, I am just getting too old for it.
It seems like freepers used to be more willing to help out each other instead of attacking bloggers and duplicate posters and whatever else is the pet peeve.
I am not opusing. I will always check in and reply.
Yes, I have posted a few treads. Before I do, I always check so as to avoid creating a duplicate. The search function works well if used correctly.
The nastiness on FR comes and goes. It's always higher during election time. At least so far this cycle the owner hasn't started banning. Yet.
