“In my initial post tonight about being disgusted with liars and phonies on FR...”
Had you simply voiced an opinion in that first post, you would have likely found that intelligent discussion you were hoping to find.
Jumping into the thread with a broad brush swipe against all Freepers was guaranteed to draw fire from multiple positions.
It wasn’t a broad brush strike against all Freepers, only the ones who are phonies and liars. They know who they are, and I’m not afraid of offending them.
