"Borders on obsessive?" How about obsessed with FR 24-7, to the exclusion of everything else, and that would include serious topics of discussion such as news items, as well as, I suspect, their jobs and families. Most of them were once FReepers, but in large part were never really conservative, but in fact were and are so-called progressives, or out and out leftwingnuts. All are clowns.
The irony is of course, that without FR, they would cease to exist. Parasites, they are...
Some people are just Anti-Freepers because if you don't like the facts they have found, you delete the post and ban them.
