I have been contemplating the very same thing. The tone here needs to change, I think it will after the Terri issue fades a bit.
I have been fighting the urge to cut and run because I love this site, I think we accomplish important things here, the voices of reason (like yours) are the most valued asset we have.
You've spoken your mind, now take some time, lurk around, but PLEASE don't leave. WE need to stick together, and ignore the vitriolic, disruptive, small-minded ones that have slipped in, but probly won't be here long anyway.

Why aren't you using your other screen name, 'Liberator'? It's still active even after your own opus. No guts, eh? How duplicitous and disappointing.

Prodigy... That's a blast from the past. I used to post on the sports boards there............when I was 13-14.
It was the 'Whitewater' and 'Congress' boards for me. Imagine that. :o)

Thanks for the ping...
I have to wonder about this, is this an April Fools joke? I still havent been here a year, and dont understand this. Why 2 freepers in one day?
Isnt a difference of opinion what makes this country great? Arent opinions like a$$h0l*s, everyones got one, and everyone elses stinks? If the Terri threads were too much to handle, why bother posting, or even reading them? I posted once, that I was crying, and thats it.
Havent all of us, at one point or another been attacked by another freeper for a difference of opinion? I know I have, and I just stop posting to that thread.
Is turning the other cheek so hard?

You know, instead of this being an opus to leave, these are the sorts of posts that folks should make in threads, or vanities, to get people re-focused on the task at hand. The leaving in a huff detracts from the points made and turns a good post into a self-indulgent whine. Yep. Excellent point. Always turn a "negative" into a positive.
That stuff about "FR leaving me" is some real egomania though.
Yep! I thought about this pic I made when I read this "opus".

You know, I'm kinda getting tired of replying to these things.
It would appear that posting an opus is rather similar to telling someone you're going to kill yourself. Really, all they want is attention and a bunch of people fawning all over them saying, "No!! Don't do it!!"
If your intent is actually to leave FR, then just walk away. It is not all that difficult to shoot your screen name in the head, if that is actually what this is all about.

I'm disappointed it took you so long to figure it out.
To: hchutch
Now that your gone, I guess I can make that contribution. If you will notice, if not for us Social Conservatives you would be here moaning about Homosexual Marriage, Late Term Abortion and Yaaawn Kerry in Office. Buh Bye!

We have enough home-grown cretins so why import more Luis? You might like your tax $ going to support this wave of humanity with their never ending need for services paid for by American tax $ but I know this is a path to national suicide. How many more hospitals need to be bankrupted, schools overloaded, innocent people violated before you and the rest of illegal pom-pom crew get the message........will it take one of your loved ones being assaulted before you get it?
To: John Jorsett
If I had left the first time somebody called me a name on FR, I'd have been here about a day.LOL. I think that probably goes for most of us.

Kemp and Gore? Gosh, I got here late!Gulp. I was posting on political boards pre-Windows 3.0, the old DOS format. I think maybe I should be embarrassed; I'm not, though, because JR was 'there' at the same time I was. :o)
One of the Prodigy Chat logs I posted (4/11/97) even has a brief bit of 'Nazi' name-calling, but it was from the other side instead of 'the enemy within'.

Remember the difference between a liberal and conservative is a mugging.

What is with people getting their panties in a wad and leaving FR so suddenly??? This one and
Poohbah's Opus on the same day. Guess they got their feeling hurt. Not many other web sites like FR, and I expect them to return.

At times, I've been called a "mouth-breathing knuckle dragger" by other FReepers for being a conservative Christian. Other times I've been called unChristian and a pagan for not toeing the religious right line on an issue.
The Schiavo issue touched some real hot buttons on all sides. But it's not the first, or last, time things have gotten ugly around here. There are folks here who are so consistently irritating, rude and nasty to me and everyone else they don't agree with. But this is also the greatest place on the internet, bar none - for news, opinion, debate, and fellowship.
Hutch, you don't know me from Adam, but I have always considered you a great FReeper and your posts are consistently thoughtful and entertaining. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water over your current feelings. But it's your choice - so if you're gone, best wishes to you. I'll always consider you a true FReeper!
To: sinkspur
But leaving here is like leaving the Republican party. Why on earth would you simply walk away and not continue to post common sense here?
I totally agree. I have been flamed on some threads, too, but I am still here. The conservative movement is too important.
