Reply #6: Other stupid quote

I bet when Clinton was President, we had many more inquiries.
I remember those days vividly. But it wasn't like that. I just lurked for a few years before I signed on in 99, so I know how things were back in the dark days. I recall being very impressed at how good FR was at policing its own.

Sure, there were some freepers that sometimes got a little out if line and made threats that were just a little too... uh... realistic. But they were pounced on immediately by other freepers, and in those days, by JimRob himself much of the time. There was always a line not to be crossed. The later changes and added mods made the job somewhat easier to keep up with, but the basic self-restraint has always been a notable feature of FR. That's one of the reasons that I focused so much on FR in those days. It ~wasn't~ totally out of hand like so many other politics discussion boards were. Nevermind how nuts the BBS circuit used to get... but that's another topic.

DU has no such restraint.

Yeah, no such restraint. I'm mean it's not like those two posters were promptly banned or anything :sarcasm:
