It is not an anti FR site.
I am not aware of your negative interaction with MadIvan. I hope your wounds have all healed.

No wounds here but it is his attempt that will not be forgotten.

FR isn't a chat site for people to "stay in touch" and "debate current events and issues". Again, go read the front page with the mission statement and see what it is all about. Read also Jim Robinson's recent statements on the matter.
I notice that the word "conservative" occurs nowhere in the "Our Principles" or mission statement of the site that you joined on 15 March. That's the key difference that maybe so many have missed. Free Republic is a conservative forum dedicated to advancing conservatism, conservative candidates, and conservative causes.
That site is nothing like FR. It was started by a banned FR poster. It contains a public forum and private invitation only forum. Your argument would be much more convincing if a link to one of it's threads hadn't been posted here. In that linked thread, members had gotten careless and were discussing disrupting FR in a public thread. Not too long after the thread was linked to FR the thread was pulled from that board. Enough of us saw it before they had their clean-up party to know exactly what that website is all about.
