>>>>FR was so much better when it was an echo chamber, wasn’t it?<<<<
You claim that in the almost 4 years you’ve been here, chaddie, FR went from being an echo chamber to a forum for open debate.
Isn’t that interesting?
News flash: In the almost 26 years I’ve been here, I’ve seen no evidence of FR being an echo chamber. It’s been a forum where new or differing opinions were posted and discussed.
Although FReepers disagreed, there was a common thread: we loved this country. Now, there are posters seeking to destroy our country and this site, either purposefully or through sheer stupidity.
The fact that you and like minded zeepers haven’t intimidated us into silence frustrates you and really pisses you off, doesn’t it chaddie?
That makes me extremely happy.
It highly depends on the topic, to be fair.
If you dared to oppose the Afghanistan/Iraq Wars or the Bush Administration's policies during the early 2000s, your likelihood of getting zotted was incredibly high.
FR has its own echo chambers. That hasn't changed since its inception.
