Jim, thank you! I've grown concerned about the deterioration of the exchanges in recent months, it was becoming unpleasant to have to sort out the useful and interesting comments from the ad hominem attacks and gratuitous profanity.

As always, FreeRepublic remains my primary website of news, opinion, and important insights into what's happening to my beloved Nation.

God Bless you Sir, and carry on!

Why not? It's only 11:30 out in Fresno.

Apologies, Jim, forgot to add you to my comment above. Yikes!

I think that a huge number of posters truly are DU-esque trolls — maybe even AI — inserted in FR as stirrer-uppers.
