"Free Republic is childish. Come to MY board instead".
Well, to be fair, sometimes there is a whiff of childishness, true (and even more than a whiff on occasion). But it is not the same as being taken over by the fringe types, not even close. So what is his complaint?

Childish?

Well, he is a doodie head!

YOu know, I have been here for MANY years (just recently changed my screenname, though, after what happened to Buckhead). I just don't see "childishness."

I see some petty disagreements, sometimes, as might be expected when you get, oh, a couple thousand people together to discuss a controversial subject.

But childishness? No. Lots of intelligent analysis and some of the finest humor going? Yes.
