I agree. I once couldn't stand to be away from Free Republic for more than a few hours each day, but FR seems to have become a haven for conspiracy theorists and nut jobs.
There are still a few level heads around, but almost invariably they are harrassed when they express their opinions. I'll bet I'll probably get a reply along the lines of "don't let the door hit you on the way out" before this thread is done.
Probably the only reason I continue to come to FR is because it is the best news aggregator on the web.
Me too. I've been posting less and lurking more for that reason.
