There have been so many really awful people come on here in the last couple of years. It's gotten so vitriolic and contentious.

I don't know if you two are just having a 'glass half-empty' day, but this forum has ~always~ been contentious, and at times vitriolic, depending on where you look. It's also ~always~ been full of great people representing the best of conservative and patriotic America, and they are also easy to find if you seek them out.

Just like real life.

You two could opus out like this guy did, and you could actually leave the way this guy ~didn't~, but I don't think you'll find another forum that has a healthier or more representative group of people on any other forum. If you find some issue to be angry and contentious around here, then either decide they aren't worth your stress, or just argue the issue better than them. It'd be sad to see you leave and go find your only internet refuge among those bitter people who have made a life out of constantly finding the worst examples HERE.

Just my two cents. You're both posters I like to read because I seek out posters like yourselves ~to~ read. It's all in what you look for.

The difference now, at least from 5 years ago, is that you cannot get away from them.

I post the Pray for President Bush thread twice a week, and one of these not-banned maniacs came on the prayer thread screaming for impeachment (which I believe should be automatic suspension), and then mocked me for saying it was inappropriate.

There are maybe three threads where you can get away from them, but I like to be in the fray, and I can hardly stand it any more because of the utter irrational filth I have to wade through.....

Maybe it is just a glass half empty day. I won't seek another forum, unless some of us create our own, but I'm just not sure this is a place that good people would want to come to any more.....

Well put.

Nothing quite like FR for better, bitter, batter, badder or worse.
