By the way, this isn’t the first time someone posted something here that the mods deleted. Lately I’ve seen deleted posts in the Prayer threads. Not as many as today...but it’s happened before. But give the mods credit where credit is due - the posts were already deleted when I came along. Nobody made a fuss over them, and they weren’t disruptive to the thread. This isn’t the first attack, it is the first successful one.
Well, I just wanted to tell you, in case you weren’t aware.
In the FR I used to know, prayer threads were acknowleged and kept spiritual and prayerful and it was the extremely rare occurrance by a troll that required a deleted post on them.
More than one poster apparently hit this one and like you, I do credit the mods with the removal. But certain people obviously feel free and unfettered enough to post mockingly on a prayer thread and THAT is a HUGE change for this forum. A change for the worse.
It’s the overall decline in levels of respect and disintigration of boundaries on the forum that is turning people away. Three more of my most well-spoken, level-headed conservative FRiends are now leaving or fading away they say. Very very sad.
And the prayer thread for the POTUS has been defiled.
Sorta reminds me of an FR version of a Wellstone funerally.
Specifics ping, Jim.
In fact, it is the thread that drew me in to join FR.
Yes, there have been disruptors before, but as previously stated, their group assault on this particular thread was merely the final straw in a very deeply considered process on my part.
God bless you, Rose!
