Yeah, I agree it's a fireball chucker, but why does everybody here always slam the bejeezus out of new people with an opinion. This is a conservative news discussion forum, not the GOP sheep farm. We have some seriously hardcore conservatives, and some middle of the road folks too.

When people jump on newbies so bad, it makes FR a nastier and more bitter place. A few years back, this was not nearly so mean. Sure, trolls got the zot, but not every single new person. People nowadays need to lighten up unless they are relatively confident the poster is a troll.

The comment about Extremely Extreme Extremist isn't out of line, because EEE hasn't bothered to fill out his/her/it's about page, and there are more women than men, so the likely assumption is he/she/it is female.

Thanks for that. Like I said I'm still relatively new and wasn't aware of how FR was a few years back. I totally agree with you on the tendency here to jump down new peoples throats. I truly believe that there are people posting here is that their sole reason for posting here is the ZOT. Like I said, I still step lightly for that very reason. The only reason I used the "troll" moniker is that he/she seemed a little boisterous. One more thing, I apologize for taking so long to reply as I left for work at five (EST.)
