I appreciate the fact that you are trying to keep us FReepers from foaming at the mouth over this, and you are posting very reasonable arguments for not "hating" Sean-
Regarding the remark about how many posts, that this doesn't need to be carried on this long (paraphrase), there are a lot of us that have only gotten home and had a chance to watch, and remark on the subject---
I personally was pretty ticked off when I heard him this afternoon, and my first thought was that he was bashing FR in order to try to get people to change to his site---
I guess he doesn't realize that we FReepers are smart enough to be able to visit more than one site in a short amount of time---
He gave Charlie Rangel more slack for his silly remarks, than he has given to the Freeper, IMHO, but I don't hate him
Granted, I should add an addendum with those only hearing or able to only now remark I haven't an issue. As I stated, he deserves a few hits. I just disagree that this is something that warrants a permanent split. A few ticked off E-Mails, sure, but my skin is thick enough to take his slight. Doesn't really matter what he thinks about FR. If he wants to make it a permanent crusade against the board, well, that would change the situation. We'll have to see how he responds.

Yes, that's the part I disliked most. Poor taste. And, I've been to the sight. It has its fringe as any board does.
