IMHO Joe, FR is big enough to house both politically active FReepers and keyboard commandos. The problem has always been that factions here seem to think that the struggle is against each other.
The way I have always thought of JimRob's mission statement is that the only requirement of FReepers is to love and fight for the constitution. The manner in which this expresses itself can be as diverse as the Founding Fathers thoughts were on the subject.
I have been often flamed but never banned because I have always believed in walking away from a fight that has no constructive aim, and little but vituperative content.
Fight on BADJOE, and, whether we're on the same side of a particular issue or not, I know we're on the same side in the battle.
