Ay carumba......Sorry to post and run again, but I'm off to do some more activism this morning so that all the other conservatives coming to the Gathering of Eagles next weekend will feel like we 'play nicely' with them.

FR may be primitive in its architecture
Primitive? Hmph! So even a caveman could figure it out, I suppose?

I find this Patrick Ruffini boring, and hardly worth mention.

I am not sure... but that would be a sound guess based on the content of this piece.
He can dis FR, but it still won’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear! That being Rooty, of course.

Primitive?!!? I LOVE this structure - it is easy to follow conversations and comments to comments. When they're all just stacked in order that they were posted with no link between them, it's very hard to track the conversations.
FR has the best format on the web!

Dan Rather wishes FR didn’t exist when his falsehoods were uncovered. I personally think that FR is frontline with news and commentary that means something.

Absolutely! Everyone knows we should do mindless activism and not policy; i.e., engage in serious thinking about issues and the world. /sarc

Wonder how many times Ruffini has been banned.
To: SW6906
Oh, I very much agree!
And there’ no CLUTTER on the screen...ads, avatars, etc...just the occasional and necessary pictures posted by members. I love this place.
Plus, (not that I use mine much), but we each get our own home-page and there’s FReepmail. We can post with HTML code - or not. I don’t know, but do the other places offer that?
FReeRepublic’s got it going on.

It also loads and operates quickly, something that is immediately noticeable when used by those with a dial-up connection or mobile cellular device. There are some interesting sites out there political and otherwise, but the content is just sometimes shoot-yerself sloow, when all we’re really interested in is *text*. Pre-www, many sites were simple and quick to use, now they are memory-hogs that do little to add in the way of content or utility.
Google to their credit, haven’t messed up a good thing.

When they're all just stacked in order that they were posted with no link between them, it's very hard to track the conversations. Absolutely! It's the best I've seen. On most of the boards you have no idea who is replying to whom. Here, there is not doubt. And to be able to link back the the original post or to all replies is great! Most of the other boards just aggravate me.

The "primitive" (I would use the term "user-friendly") architecture gives FR a great advantage over the blogs. It allows the membership here to be MUCH more interactive and collaborative than elsewhere - creating a "sum is greater than the parts of the whole" situation.
The problem with blogs is that they tend to be centered on either the one person (kos) or the select few people (mydd) who are actually posting material/articles, and there generally isn't a lot of interaction between those who post responses.
kos, etc are more like the kids on campus that would stand up on soapboxes reading political statements and manifesto to a small crowd. FR is like a bunch of people sitting around a table working to hash something out. The result is that FR can produce better and faster analyses than kos could ever hope to.
To: SW6906
I didn’t take “primitive” as being a dis. I think he meant it as this site has a very basic architecture for hosting our format. Sometimes the simplest way is the best.
