FreeRepublic Dumbing Down?

Am I the only one here who has noticed an explosion of ignorant posts? I'm not talking about disagreements. I'm not talking about laypeople not understanding specialized fields. I'm talking about people attempting to debate issues without even knowing the definitions of commonly used English words like "theory" or "murder". Attempts to argue with these people are futile since they insist on making up their own secret definitions.
I ain't no English teacher, but at least I know enough to make use of any of the many available on-line dictionaries if need be.
Can it be that FreeRepublic is dumbing down? Or am I just being a bunghole?

What are you thinking of in particular? Maybe we can shame the offending individual(s) into going back to night school.
Dude, sometimes the inspiration comes so quickly that you just don't have time to readproof...

That's the way it's always been. When you find someone is too dumb to debate with, don't bother to debate them.
Some days the forum is filled with substance, intelligent conversation, and witty insight. Some days it's not. ;o)

You are absolutely correct, and the worst evidence is that many of the smart freepers who used to read and post from interesting sources are no longer active--because they no longer find enough on FR to spend time here, which produces a downward spiral.

From the looks of it, it appears that you were given a spanking on another thread, and you felt so ashamed that you felt you had to dedicate a intire thread to whining. IMO

Excellent observation.
To: beavus
Quick, quick! Before this thread gets deleted. As someone observed a month or so ago in the same place "we are a nation of dumbies!" Yes, we're all LOOSERS! Ooops, excuse me, I meant to say LOOSER'S!
