Purges? Puh-leeze. Feel free to identify those "thoughtful and mature" posters that were "purged". I've been a member of FR for nearly 12 years, and JimRob has never run off anyone who didn't deserve a zot.
I'd rather be governed by those from my college dorm than all of the legislators (from both parties) in Washington DC and state houses throughout the land.
Little Lotta drank the Obama Koolaid the past two years, and now she's leaving? She's a hypocrite of the highest order. She's gettin' out before the shite hits the fan. Now that she's left the inner circle, she can whine all she wants to that "wah-wah-wah, they didn't listen to me, and I was right, wah-wah-wah."
Watch out, Lotta...Keith Olbermann's going to do a "Special Comment" on you.
“Purges? Puh-leeze. Feel free to identify those “thoughtful and mature” posters that were “purged”. I’ve been a member of FR for nearly 12 years, and JimRob has never run off anyone who didn’t deserve a zot.”
While there may not have been any official “purges”, a LOT of people are gone from this site, for various reasons. I myself left, at the height of the housing insanity, because I got tired of being accused of being a liberal for questioning the insanity going in with housing and liar loans, and being accused of trying to damage President Bush by daring to question it all. I know a lot of people felt the same way I did, and I don’t see them posting anymore.
All I know is this place is not half of what it used to be, which is a shame. There was a lot of nastiness over issues like the housing boom, Palin, etc.., and while it might not be JimRob doing it, some might see it that way if they don’t spend all day reading here - all they know is people they saw people stop posting.
So you’re fine with stupid sexist comments against a
female naval officer you don’t personally know?
What if it were your daughter in uniform they were barking
at?
Tell me why would you defend stupidity like that?
