"...I don't think that Sean should have said what he did,in the way he said it;however,a part of it WAS right on the money;sadly.FR does have a fringe element,some of the posts are childish,but we also have quite an influx of trolls,disruptors,and KOOKS;which is NOT FR's fault. ..

That's all true, but it would be a different story if today was the first time that he had ever expressed this complaint about his experience with "some" FReepers who engage in constant, quote: "..childish, immature personal attacks; the propensity on there to eat their own" and that in his opinion "FR seems to have been taken over by some fringe people".

He has made these observations about "some" FReepers before, and when he mentioned it to me in person, knowing that I am a FReeper, he was shaking his head in disgust while he spoke (This was years before he ever set up any chat forum of his own on his web site).

Now, I don't know what his "personal" experiences were with some of the FReepers he was referring to, but the negative experiences apparently greatly over-shadow the positive ones.

Then, too, if you had a radio show, would you feel like sending people to a web site where they would see people kicking you in the teeth??

You wrote: "Like you,I won't give up on listening to him/having him on as background noise.But since he's got Todd on his site,he really needs to pay attention to his own KOOK brigade. LOL"

I have never visited his web site, nor do I plan to. Who is "Todd"?

FR's had a full compliment of KOOKS,crazies,fringers,disruptors,and trolls since it started;however, there used to be more GOOD posters posting.FR is now so large,that often threads are composed of people who make FR and the rest of us look bad.

A while back,there was an all out trash Sean brigade here and there were a lot of thread in that vein.Sure Sean should have just ignored it,but some of it was hard to take,even for someone in the public eye.And there are still some here who go off on him,at every opportunity.

Todd is TBLSHOW,an anti-FREEPER and a KOOK par excellence! Evidently,he is posting to Sean's wen site forum,so Sean claiming,today,that his forum is more con trolled than FR is more than a little hypocritical;to say the least. It makes one wonder if he even looks at his own site.
