Remember Trixie (Lucianne Goldberg) did the same thing a few years ago and look at her forum. She kicked everybody off who didn't agree with her or her moderator.
Pretty stupid move by Hannity but it is all about publicity and he is getting it. He will probably do pretty well with his listeners but he won't even come close to FR.
I tried to get on Lucianne about the same time that I signed up here---
Lucianne's site was "closed" to new members---
Free Republic took my request and I have never, even once been back to Lucianne---why would I? If you don't want me-I won't be there---
THat is why I have mixed emotions about this Sean thing--I am angry, but I don't want to be because this site has gotten a lot of good threads off of his show and things said on his radio show---
Sometimes forum moderators get religion and lose track of why they are in existence.
What is fringe to liberals may be mainstream to a majority of voters.
According to Ted Kennedy President Bush is out on the fringe.
Would the moderator kick George Bush off this forum because he did not meet the criteria for not being fringe according to liberals.
I agree that some like Goldberg let their new found fame take them down.
FR is hot and I enjoy most of the posts. I hope that FR uses their new found fame wisely.
