The sad fact of the matter is that a message posting board is always remembered by its most extreme members. Thats just how it goes. There ARE quite a few here whom I would consider "out there", but by far, the majority here are pretty reasonable type, it just so happens that alot of those with the more extreme POV tend to post alot...
ALright, let's say you are correct: that FR has extreme members and they tend to be what the board's remembered for.
So what.
My point is why did Sean have to go out of his way to GRATUITOUSLY BASH FELLOW-TRAVELERS IN THE CONSERVATIVE COMMUNITY?
If FR is "childish," as he said, and does nothing but "eat its own," as he said, guess what, it will die a natural death. It doesn't need him to try to stick a knife in it.
Sean, Sean, Sean . . .
Yeah, even when we are attacking each other it is like a brotherly fight. "Yeah I said that about him but you can't---POW!"
As for flame wars and bickering.. he will get that there too....It is human nature for some types of people to act out on the internet. Find one blog or site that doesn't have flame wars and bickering.
How naive of him.
Since I am so "fringe" I gather that his shows and books will not offer me anything anymore...
He is 100% replaceable.
