Freerepublic collects money to fund the lifestyle of Jim Robinson and his family, so there is one "conservative" website (although I equate FR to the DU).
I have to state that Rebel here is correct in the pizza comments. He and I came to serious blows over secession a few years back and I thought for sure I would be banned because of it.
Still here.
Debating dissenting opinions is good for the soul. This site welcomes all opinions -- just come here to debate, not troll. You come here in good faith, kick the tires, go for a test drive? you'll end up staying. I promise you that.
I've never been like that, FL, at least, I've tried my best not to be one of those people that ban on a whim. Ask T-Monay about the abuse I take at NCAABBS from libs. I'm an Admin there as well. Of course, I do dish it out, heavily, but I wouldn't have any integrity if I banned people for bashing me when I'm doing the same. I came to the conclusion years ago that no one can be "moderate" to the point where they don't have an opinion on anything, most times a strong opinion. Just have to thicken your skin and take in what you dish out, and that's what I did. I ban spammers and obvious trolls from the various sports sections at NCAABBS, but I've recused myself from all Admin duties in the Memphis Tigers politics section as well as the Lounge's "Spin Room".
Back to Skimmer, hey lurking DUmmies, why in the hell, if DU is Skinner, Elad, and EarlG's ONLY JOB, do they have to have so many moderators? WTF do they do all day?
