We don't get the thoughtful analysis and discussions that we used too. We did a poor job of educating new members on how to use this forum.Excellent point; although my theory is that everything, everywhere has gotten ruder and cruder as the MTV generation has risen. The children of the Boomers were raised with no manners. Feminism and to a certain extent, the civil rights movement, had a lot to do with trashing ALL social codes along with the no-longer-needed ones.

Just checked my original SN from a year earlier, Jan. 1999, had an ID of 18,000 something. So in a years time, 1999~2000, roughly 10K people were added.
That of course does not take into account the number of lurkers who never sign up, but still visit the site.

... a diarist area might do good, maybe a series of what's going on diaries. For instance, the taxes that are being hidden in bills, the earmarks, the socialism, and of course the war. Strategic thinking is where it starts, a shift away from the current react to events only. Not saying that the react thing should be discontinued, just added to.
Reaction always involves following not leading, we should try to capitalize on the AMNESTY capital we acquired, and try our hand at leading instead of following.
I like these ideas very much.

Needless to say, all the garbage they posted were thread killers, and I immediately abandoned the thread after the song lyrics were posted. Why waste my time wading through all that stuff. Too bad we couldn't get the moderators on our side, to delete all the unwanted garbage.I'm honestly wondering, did you ask the mods? I've had pretty good luck with getting disruptive posts deleted.

Some of those Rudy-bots were Bushbots extrordinaire in ‘04.
This was going on at least as far back as ‘03.
As I said before, good riddance to bad rubbish!

Even if someone does---oh, boo hoo---start a flame war against you, is your response outside your control and, therefore, is whether or not you commit conduct that could get you banned outside your control? Y'all need to buy a clue. Sometimes emotions get high (and that goes for the Admin Mods too - not criticizing them, they have a very tough and generally thankless job) and people say or post things they should not. Things were not as they seemed in '03-early '07.
Sanity has been restored to FR and I for one am glad to see it. If you want perfect, go to Walgreen's.

My lib sister says she'll vote for Hillary because she's a woman. I asked "What makes you sure Hillary's a woman?"
ha ha ha.
I asked her if she'd vote for Guiliani. She said "Yes, I'd vote for him. I like Guiliani.". I asked her if she'd vote for Fred Thompson. "No!" "Why not?" "I don't trust him." "You don't trust the guy from Law and Order?" "No, I'd never vote for him." "What about Duncan Hunter?" "Who's he?" "Never mind."

Here’s the part of Cannoneer No. 4’s post that started this:
“This forum ain’t what it used to be. The IQ level here has dropped precipitiously since I joined. Lots of highly intelligent, articulate, engaging Freepers don’t come here much any more. They have moved on. The simple readers don’t miss them.”
Did you even bother to read it before you posted to me?

Yes I did. And I happen to (for the most part) agree.

You asked me about numbers a while ago. See post 36 (and elsewhere on this thread) if you’re still curious.

Even if a few posts are deleted, the general tone generally kills the thread.
