I’d say the main difference between FR now, and FR when I signed up (2002) is that there are tons of homosexual agenda promoters - used to just be a couple here and there, who would eventually (or quickly, depending...) get banned. Also there are tons of leftists 0thugga hirelings. So I’d say, yes, there is some difference.
I think the general anxiety level is way up all over, since the leftists are busily destroying every vestige of what has made this country good.
In my years here I’ve learned to have a thicker skin, and sort of “read between the lines” to get peoples’ motivation and intent behind the typed word. Sometimes you can’t, but a lot of times you can, especially if you’re familiar with that particular person.

You may be right, but I am not sure. Right now there is a neandertal on this thread stating that I am a member of this "homosexual agenda." Have I defended anything like that on this thread, or any other? No. I have argued very strongly against homosexual marriage on a number of threads, and have argued on religious threads about the evils of homosexuality and sodomy. How many of these "tons" of promoters are people like me who are being called it just because I didn't use the right code words or something?

That makes sense, and I can see it. But, it doesn't help if we turn that anxiety on our own and attack other conservatives for no reason at all. It never helps defeat the enemy to make the people in your own army targets too.

I know what you mean, and generally I really don't get too worked up. But, this thing of telling super personal lies, calling me a queer for instance, really does bug the crap out of me. But, it happens that I just got off a thread with a poster using the same exact technique, i.e. if the post is more than five words assume it is a disagreement and make up things about the other person. After listening to that crap and then immediately getting it here just really pissed me off.
Really? I haven't noticed a large contingent of homosexual agenda promoters on FR. Can you provide examples or do you just assume that those who don't condemn Ann for making a speech at this conference must also support the homosexual agenda?
