Mostly because it never works. Jim has never tried to hide anything, but the serpent's seed of doubt grows well in small minds, so the AF's are never content with any explanation given. This war goes on continuously, has for years. By now, all the concerns have been addressed a thousand times, yet every six months or so we have to have this exercise. Why? Because the questions aren't a means toward an end. The questioners aren't interested in truth, but in indicting this site through innuendo, diversion, and just plain repetition.
This is a waste of time and bandwidth. We don't need to justify ourselves to anyone, especially people who are our sworn enemies.
Having said that, you're wrong if you think people should't be aware of "antifreeper" activities and efforts to undermine and destroy a site like Free Republic. In fact, their behavior resembles radical leftists, and there isn't one person at this site who shouldn't be made aware of just how far radicals will go to further their agenda. They will do almost anything to accomplish their goals, no matter what principles have to be compromised. They have none, in fact. Ethics? No. Morals? No. People like this represent a mindset in our country today, and it is that mindset that a lot of us think helps erode our culture.
You may think it's a waste of bandwidth and time to point it out, but not everybody does.
You are so right. You are so right. Great comments!
