I'm disappointed, but not at all surprised, to see the reactions of many here to the departure of Melas.

I've known him on several different forums for nearly fifteen years.

His clarity, independence, and intelligence have always stood him out from the crowd.

I, for one, shall miss him. And I'm not alone.

If he’s so swell, he wouldn’t have left with parting shots. That’s crappy, and I say that without ever having read anything he wrote.

Lost me at the “racist” accusation.

You embrace far too many of our political foes. Bob J, for example -- a neocon power-grabber who ended up becoming an absolute enemy of Free Republic, and someone who slanders and 'doxes' people like some sort of internet bully, and yet you support him. Now you are supportive of someone who doesn't understand the moral wrongs and the underpinning of perversion associated with homosexuality, and who imagines racism here on the part of management.

Maybe you are just a nice, too trusting guy, or maybe -- instead -- you are allied with the moderate and the centerist crowd, the 'I can see no wrong with the other sides position' crowd.

How does one find the history of a posters comments? Anyone.

Eveningstar?
Melas pushing the prohomo crap here isn’t appreciated, even less appreciated than his lying piece of crap opus and his obvious lack of intelligence shown by his drama queen exit.

The draaaaama,it’s so dramatic!
