"Dad" is watching the thread. Saw his post when I got up this morning. He is serious about keeping the prohomosexual message off of FR.
but I think it’s to FR’s detriment if it’s now banning variations of opinion even among different types of conservatives.
This is an activist site. It isn't simply a forum. It is where we discuss issues and what to do about them. It is not a forum to debate liberals or their POV.
If you misunderstand FR's mission, read the Mission statement by Jim Robinson
If you think I’m a liberal, you are very, very mistaken. I have a co-worker who thinks I’m a conservative wingnut (though if he met some of the folks on FR, I think he’d adjust his standards). In reality, I’m neither. I’m conservative on most issues, libertarian on a few - and yes, you can weigh each issue separately and decide where you stand. It really doesn’t have to be “accept the whole conservative ball of wax or you’re a liberal.”
Jim, if you are watching this thread, I respect you, I respect your site, and I respect that you make the rules on your site. But I still don’t think banning a point of view, provided it’s expressed civilly, is the way to go.
