In defense of the Newbie harsh reaction...There has been a history the knee jerk reaction is based on.

JP is not normally like that. This thread has us all jumpy and for reasons that aren't always posted for all to see.

This thread has a history for some of us extending to other groups.

JP is the greatest freeper in the world. We all know this thread is unusual. The political and threats are unusual.

There are posts and posters that reasons have been made to react out of normal.

Thanks for the clarification. I know all too well that there is a *lot* more going on behind the scenes at FR than a relative outsider like me can see. I guess you can just consider my point of view as how someone on the outside might see things. :)

For clarification, that was not directed in particular at JP. If it was, I would have addressed it to her. I know she is a great Freeper and I have a lot of respect for her. I guess I just wanted to throw some perspective out there for everyone, so that this thread doesn't degenerate into a flame war like a lot of threads do.
