When I returned to FR 4 days after 9-11 I was apprehensive of what I might find here. My fears were proven correct, it was a Jekle and Hyde transformation.
Some of this is forgivable given the situation, but there is too large a porportion that simply makes me feel I do not belong with the members here any longer. I feel Arator is right (I hardly 'know' him) -- the atmosphere here is one of Nazism, fascism and racism.
The policy of political supression you articulated is one I cannot accept, even at a time of 'war', ESPECIALLY at a time of war. It is the antithesis of American political thought.
This political mono-think scares me more than anything currently happening. It is the stuff holocausts are made of.
I hope you will attempt to loosen your policy, I hope that you will STRIVE to loosen it, but as it sits I cannot support it and I wish to disassociate myself from this forum at once.
I will be attempting to remove my membership after this post, please do it for me if I do not succeed.
This is not out of spite or dishonor. I wish this forum the best of luck in its goals, under current policy I would feel I am a disruptor more than a member, and out of respect for FR and my own sense of principles I must decline further participation.
God Bless.
Six thousand people have died, thousands will soon risk their lives to defend freedom and all you can talk about is I...I...I...my...me...I...I...I...I...me...I...I...I...my...I...I...I..my...I.
You will not be missed.
JIMROB, you are absolutely correct !!!
There will be plenty of time to discuss ANYTHING openly, when lives are not at stake by discussing them TOO SOON !!
PRISM, Please get off your HIGH HORSE and wake up !!
