Hey, I’m still here and I had my say directly to Jim Rob. When I had my say I had no idea that this was the night/day/week of the hatchet and blood was running deep in the hallowed halls of Freeperland.
Recently posts of mine were deleted because I posted pictures that were posted by ex-Freepers who debated against the mass psychosis of Flt800 conspiracy hysteria.
What do I care tha the picture that I posted was considered abuse or offensive (while the original remains), what do I care that some people you just can’t reach? How many people got banned because of Flt800 threads? How many casualties have there been because of the Evo-Creation debates? How many losses has there been because of the fallout post-1106?
FreeRepublic will ALWAYS be FreeRepublic as long as the people that frequent the forums are as hot blooded about their conservative ideals, principles and visions as they have been since the day I joined.
I can’t even begin to count how many imbroglos that I witnessed on this board. And quite frankly, this board is no different than any other board that I’ve been a member of that has lively and hot discussion. It just so happens that those other forums pertain to nonconsequential issues that are only relevant to gaming.
You haven’t seen blood splatter until you’ve witnessed a flame war of two groups of PC game modders going at each other.
I don’t konw guys, in what loins was the seminal fluid of this country’s conception found? Yes, that’s right: IN BARS. This country is founded upon their ancestors getting together and discussing politics IN BARS!
Makes me wonder how far we’ve fallen.
