Harry, you can be an articulate and intelligent debator when you want to. I enjoyed sparring with you on a couple of occasions. But at the same time, you lose control on a frequent basis. There are two things that you cannot get regardless of resources and effort: time and a good name. You have a good name amongst many here, don't waste that resource. You speak passionately about the things you believe, don't let that be silenced by pride.

FreeRepublic is a brick in the foundation of a conservative fortress that needs to be erected to protect our Constitution and our liberty, does it matter if there are personality conflicts? Do you think the Founders agreed on everything or there wasn't animosity on many issues? Imagine if Jefferson had refused to have anything to do with the Declaration of Independance because so many involved were friends with Hamilton. He was involved in something bigger than himself and his circle of friends. I view FreeRepublic that way. If you desire to have an impact on the direction that FreeRepublic is taking, then engage. Follow the rules of the site, but engage. If you do not view FreeRepublic as important, then walk away, but walk away with no animosity. If FreeRepublic is not a site of importance to the conservative movement, then it should not be important enough to feel bitter about and wronged by. I ask that you stay and help steer this ship, or at worst wish us Bon Voyage and don't try to hinder us.
