Frankly, I see enough disagreement and discontent every day without having to deal with it among "friends."

Sometime I come to FR just to be encouraged that many other people think like I do and I don't really want to fight.

I guess we all have our own reasons for coming here, but I really don't care if non Freepers complain that we do not allow dissent.

Of course, reasonable discussion should not be stifled, but...

Wow, I guess I really stepped in it, didn't I?

Some interesting responses to a question, which when posed was done so perhaps more out of my own naiveté rather than some nefarious plot.

I do believe that if the left is confronted in honest, mature debate, their position will be shown for the lack of depth and probability of success that is inherent with a doctrine that seeks to punish success, while simultaneously rewarding failure.

I do believe that we on the right, and trust me on this, I am on the right, should not fear an honest intellectual discussion. However, in the forum of Internet banter, this may not be possible. I do respect Mr. Robinson's goals and his right to his intellectual property. However, I did not realize how the question would be received by some. My bad.

Some comments:

Set up my own board? -- I have neither the computer skills, time, resources or audience to do so, thanks just the same.

To those who choose to insult me through either sarcasm or direct attack. Excuse me for asking a question. I honestly intended nothing more then a discussion. I would also say to those who make false charges:

You might look at a profile or take thirty seconds to check someone out before making insulting allegations.

For those who offered honest and fair criticism, thanks. That's is really all I was looking to evoke.
