It occurred to me that you may not have read the posts around you. Really, look around.

I hate be the one to break it to you, DBR, but even though they may not be vocal on this thread right now, the vast majority of FReepers - including FreeRepublic's owner - are in Tex's camp.

Why would anyone want to interrupt, when it's so much fun to watch him manhandle three or four malcontents at once?

Now, now in the great tradition of special Olympics, everyone is a winner.

I don't think the majority of freepers and and FR owner want to run off those of us who were thinking of third party but have changed our minds. Why have a debate then? There are votes out there to get, Tex is not going to capture any of them with the attitude that he/she doesn't care and it doesn't matter anyway, I can tell you that for sure.

He/she has run off two of them that I know of,already and they had a perfect opportunity to join in instead of feel alienated. So instead of "making friends" having fun and being part of the group, they have left disheartened.

Of course you my know the owners better than I do. I don't know the at all but that seems curious to me.
