“you have no perspective of what you have done.”

All I did was reiterate what’s already been discussed a lot around the Internet, many times by people sympathetic to Barron, very familiar with the condition in question, and who understand this has the potential to explain many things, including some of his parents’ actions. You seem to be under the impression that if you can close down discussion of it here, it will die off—and I would support you if that were actually possible (a small number of Freepers musing out loud on a topic close to them are hardly enough to control the national narrative or label anyone anything). I do think it would probably have been better if this hadn’t become a topic online in the first place, but there are too many people independently arriving at this conclusion to ever keep everybody quiet.

Certainly, you may be right in thinking this sort of talk should be clamped down on when possible (although I can’t help but think you drew a lot more attention to this topic than if you had ignored the two posters talking about their kid and students—or even just given a calm and thoughtful argument on why it’s better not to bring this up). None of us here were “attacking” Barron, but sure it’s probably better to avoid the topic altogether. I wish I never joined in. How about we stop this in-fighting and return to just hitting the Dems instead?

There are people from team Trump and other places that follow along here because they value Free Republic’s goals and its contents.

The unwarranted personal speculation of this man’s family lowers the overall value of the site. It is harmful, not helpful. I think you are smart enough to grasp that.

At this point, I will guess that you were a Cruz supporter that was kicked out and has now returned.
