I have been here even longer than you and your observations are correct. I, too, have been considering walking away from FR and finding a new venue from which to find insight into the news from a conservative perspective. I wish you well!

Nothing comes even close, that I've seen.

Sorry to see you go, Ivan. I haven't considered writing off FR, but I've noticed that more often than not I hit the reply button and start writing only to cancel and give up thinking that it'll just be no use to type anything at all.

I wish FR had a ranking system that allowed folks like you to post indefinitely and newbies or recognized morons to only post a reply say, once a month.

There is a coterie of irrational, bigoted and downright slanderous individuals who are trying to convince the good people of this board that in spite of all that Britain has done and all the gestures of friendship that we have shown, is just as bad an ally as say, France.

You're going to leave because of these morons?

Are you kidding?
