Thanks for the ping, deport.

I rarely come on these threads, but I am here now and because of what I've experienced the past few days and particularly tonight, I want to say something.

As much as people complain about "censorship" and being moderated here, there are good reasons for every rule. The system is not perfect and occasionally they get one wrong - but I can see very clearly that this place will never be the cesspool other political forums are destined to be, and that there is wisdom in the leadership here.

It's not that way everywhere. Today, I saw that first hand.

Long live FreeRepublic, and long live Jim Robinson. (I'd ping him, but I really mean what I'm saying and I'm not a suck-up - so I don't want to look that way. I just have had an epiphany of sorts - and a brand new appreciation for all he puts up with.) There's no substitute for experience, wisdom, and integrity. Some guys have it, and some guys wouldn't know it if it walked up and introduced itself.
