Same here. I am watching and waiting.
There was a "truce" called, but no apology or admission of injustice.
You can't just bully people to the point of them being ostracized and then just "call a truce." Well you can, but it doesn't mean people will trust you again or feel welcome again.
Thanks to your son for his service to our country.
"Bully" is precisely the right word, Semper.
There have been people triple teaming to try to get good freepers banned, tattling, ridiculous name-calling, and all with no response from the Mods.
If it just happened to me I'd say "oh, well" and stay away for a while, but it happened to some of the most thoughtful long-term, proven conservatives, and it frankly made me think that the forum itself was done for.
I'm sorry, Seize, but donation under such a fragile truce (I was accosted just yesterday, and called "evil") isn't going to happen.
Like I said, I'm not a big time donor, and don't want to lose my posting privileges, and am as good (or bad) as anyone in getting into spitting matches, but it's going to take some time to see if the truce is a reality.
