>>>Most of us can tell whether an article is the truth or a lie. We don’t need someone else to tell us what to think.<<<

And what of visitors to the site who see the following:

“You know, Trump also just made the Keystone XL way more expensive (and illegal) to build”

and that is the ‘first impression’ he/she gets.

They might just decide that they don’t need to waste time on a site that hates the President which would allow these kinds of posts.

Unless they click and read they will not readily discern your intention.

Argue all you want, but that is the down and dirty of it.

Thanks for the responses. I do understand your concern.

Were you fooled by the title ? Did you stop reading and log off the website ? Do you know anyone else that did ?

FR has been all about posting articles (both negative and positive) and having the posters debate and decide the merits of the article.

You say it was not this way. When was that ?

When I see an article with BARF ALERT in the title, I rarely read it because there is nothing to do or say. It has already been exposed.

If we limit FR to only POSITIVE , CONSERVATIVE articles with no bias, then do we not become an ‘echo chamber’ ?

Seriously, you are starting to make me think you are a ‘snowflake’ who wants FR to be a ‘safe space’.

Even so, it doesn’t matter what I think of you. Only that we both continue to read and contribute to the debate of articles, both positive and negative, that are posted here on FR.

Maybe those who you are so concerned about being ‘scared off’ shouldn’t even attempt to get into debate on FR. You need to have a ‘thick skin’ as sometimes things get a little ‘tough’ when the subject is not so easily identified as true or false.

Again, THANKS for speaking out for your ‘side’ of the issue. I respect that.
