Sad news about JimRob, but IIRC he'd been frail for quite a while now. The good news for him is that he's now free of his physical restrictions. Hallelujah! Prayers for his family and friends.
Like many here, I was one of those who was cancelled for not toeing the line on Trump 45's candidacy. I don't know who made those decisions, but as far as I was concerned, FR gave up its right to complain about people getting cancelled for having a different opinion. Leftists were absolutely not the only ones in the cancelling business. As someone from the class of 1998*, it was quite an adjustment for me. In those days, FR and Drudge were the first places I'd hit. After getting banned, I felt lost on the internet. I did eventually find and am a member of another message board where we have a section for discussing current events. It was a wonderful, fun, friendly board until some of our key members or their spouses passed. So I had to search the internet for another place to hang, and that's how I got here.
*I was not AllThatJazzZ at FR.
