I agree. The discipine factor is missing. The Admin's must be on vacation. But, then again, this is their site... Oh well.
I've been through a lot here and I'm still standing.
"Well, maybe I don't, really, but I do like and appreciate hutch, don't consider him a cry baby and I'm truly sorry to see him go."
In this case, your taste in crybabies is woeful. At least they have an excuse at the hospital nursery.
My apologies if you've taken umbrage at my reaction to your post personally.
Your words (these words) struck me particularly:
"I had to wonder what has happened to the conservative movement when the threads were allowed to spiral so out of control. The concept of euthanasia is repulsive and disgusting, but it does not excuse allowing the threads to spin out of control."
Dear Friend,
It is an illusion that threads can be controlled; and it is impossible to stop threads for spiraling out of control at times.
Even the best moderator cannot control differences of opinions; and we can't expect Jim to limit folk's right to express themselves, do matter how unpleasant their opinions might be.
The only thing certain is change. There is no way that this forum could remain exactly the same as the day you joined.
I for one will miss you and hope that you reconsider. Moderation in all things. Peace.

Actually Daughter, I think we have some Johnny Come Lately's to Free Republic , who are here mainly to disrupt and act disrespectful, possibly plants from the DNC.
This time, yes. As far as opuses go, this one was kinda dry. I liked yours though :)
If you'll excuse the self-plagiarism, hope you'll reconsider.
I think this explains why someone asked me if I was banned yet after my errr against the grain views in the Schiavo case.
I urge you to stay on and fight the good fight.
I read his entire opus, as well as poobah's.
I think so too.
You've just called me racist for disagreeing with you on immigration. Many of your other stated positions are good, but you've just shown yourself to be as much a part of the problem as anyone else. I'd love to see cleaner debate on all of the issues that this country faces, but your problem seems to be an inability to take what you dish out.
If that's the case you should have used the "private reply" feature.
Why did you have to write all that? If you don't like FR anymore, then stay away - - it's as easy as not clicking your mouse.
Personally, I was called a "troll" (by newbies!) twice last week on Terri Schiavo threads. Gee, I think I'll go into a hissy fit and post a long whining opus. Political discourse can be bruising and impolite. Oh well. Apparently, you folks can't take the heat so you're getting out of the kitchen.
I would prefer you both stay around and fight for your opinions because I know that you have been good freepers for a long time. But if you want to turn tail and run away because some people were mean, then knock yourselves out.
Stop playing Moderator. You are just another poster to me.
I'll say whatever I want to say to you ....so long as I'm within the posting guidelines. If you have a problem with that then you can contact an admin moderator if you "feel" I've broken any rules.
LOL! You could be about to get a real lesson about nature.
Yep! National Geographic on display.
Newbies.
