Fantastic, Mr. Robinson. I hadn't seen this thread til I picked up the link from the thread about your deletions of threads. I really get p****d when a thread I'm contributing to gets pulled, but now I understand what you're getting at and I agree 100%. This is a war to the death. Either they destroy us or we destroy them. You are one of the good guys, obviously.

P.S....I can't remember who said it on this thread, probably Arator? Said the Taliban has come to FR. Well, I can attest the Taliban has NOT come to FR because I am a woman, and I speak my piece as often and as loudly as any man here! So, there!

Yes indeed. I have a relative who recently was honorably discharged.
He may or may not get called up, and may or may not have already done so. I sometimes have a very carefully trained forgettery when it comes to these things.

I understand you need to do what you do to keep your website moving in the direction you aspire, and to maintain a kind of political coherency in times like these. When I returned to FR 4 days after 9-11 I was apprehensive of what I might find here. My fears were proven correct, it was a Jekle and Hyde transformation. Some of this is forgivable given the situation, but there is too large a porportion that simply makes me feel I do not belong with the members here any longer. I feel Arator is right (I hardly 'know' him) -- the atmosphere here is one of Nazism, fascism and racism. The policy of political supression you articulated is one I cannot accept, even at a time of 'war', ESPECIALLY at a time of war. It is the antithesis of American political thought. This political mono-think scares me more than anything currently happening. It is the stuff holocausts are made of. I hope you will attempt to loosen your policy, I hope that you will STRIVE to loosen it, but as it sits I cannot support it and I wish to disassociate myself from this forum at once. I will be attempting to remove my membership after this post, please do it for me if I do not succeed. This is not out of spite or dishonor. I wish this forum the best of luck in its goals, under current policy I would feel I am a disruptor more than a member, and out of respect for FR and my own sense of principles I must decline further participation. God Bless.

Six thousand people have died, thousands will soon risk their lives to defend freedom and all you can talk about is I...I...I...my...me...I...I...I...I...me...I...I...I...my...I...I...I..my...I.

You will not be missed.

Mr. Robinson, I love it!!!

I have lived through all the wars since WWII, and unfortunately we now are in a doozie. This one really is WWIII. These terrorists are fanatics and the ends absolutely justify the means and they mean to win. They are all over the world and more than dangerous. United we stand, divided we fall and the antiAmericans mean to divide us, have no doubt. Let common sense prevail and be grateful to associate with other like minded patriots on a daily basis.

We need to be reminded here, from time to time, that what we say and how we treat each other matters, words have meaning. Our posts are read by thousands of lurkers and dissent is taken seriously. No need to go all touchy feely, no need to stop meaningful discussion, but let common sense prevail!

Thank you, Jim.

The 50,000 figure was derived from maximum capacity numbers, not from counts. Structures are seldom 'filled to their maximum capacity. And yes, you did miss how many did get out.
