You can say that again. This forum used to have intelligent conversation. Now if you aren't in lockstep with a given poster's candidate you are vilified. And candidates who are running against a given poster's favorite are smeared with the ugliest of character assassination. I find myself on here less and less these days. It's grown too contentious for me.
Last election, people actually talked about their candidates (pro or con) without all the name calling—except in the Smoky Backroom. This election, I’m hesitant to recommend FR to my friends. Just too much of a food fight, and not a lot of intelligent back and forth. I miss the FR that got to the bottom of Dan Rather’s “documents” and other finer moments.
It seems like the fundraising is taking longer and longer.
