Nope.

Just that’s the treatment I got a while ago for using Mulvaney’s Presser for a source on the budget bill

You used the Director of OMB as a source for budget matters and not the Washington Post? No wonder you were called a liar!/s

This isn’t exactly the fertile soil of Conservative investigation and research that it once was. There’re great folks still around, but other social platforms have cut in pretty heavily, some sharp minds were, uh, “lost” along the way, and others saw that and left quietly of their own accord. The house rules have ramifications, ultimately; many good, some less so, but people do what they will.

There are some past denizens of these forums whose wit and insight I sorely miss despite disagreement at some fairly crucial points, and I’m sure I’m far from alone in that sort of observation, but not all were capable of handling disagreements as sane adults.

On this side of it, I’m perfectly fine not having been any part of the evaluative mechanism that made the decision to keep people around or send them packing. I’d have likely ousted some who’re still around, and kept some who were ousted, and the ultimate result would likely be just abut the same as it is right now.

Ten years ago at FR you’d still have had plenty of folks who hadn’t read the linked article or watched the linked video yet felt they had grounds to give you a piece of their mind.
