I, RonaldMcDonald, do thank you very much for the time and effort that you have put forth into developing a site which I have enjoyed for years.
The ability to get the perspectives on the news from the MSM with all of the contorted twists that truth now goes through (showing us that we're not even getting anything remotely resembling truth from the MSM) and the bloggers who have contributed to this site have made it invaluable.
...However, the other thing which made this place unique was the ability to have open, running, real-time dialogue with people all across the planet of varying political beliefs.
Yes. It *did* get raw and unnecessarily abrasive at times... and *yes*, Bill O'Reilly has made statements before about your site that were beyond ludicrous, but then what does O'Reilly have to say that is ever actually correct?
He has declared his own culture war on the Huffington Post... the result? Queues which take forever to post and dialogue which no longer exists.
I used to come here *daily* (not always as a contributer) because I did enjoy the back and forth open dialogue between people.
The petty insults could get way out there (not that I didn't engage in that myself,) but the constant back and forth and steady stream of invectives could be quite tiresome... I would think that there would be ways to get around such people of pettiness.
To me, it seems as if O'Reilly has won this round... And it's a *major* victory: because we can no longer go to the MSM for the news, thus we come here, and while we may fight and disagree like some alcoholic inbred family in the Ozarks (my apologies to any Ozark inbred alcoholics that may be reading this,) we HAD freedom of expression and ideas... The *very* thing that the MSM and this corporate controlled government *do not* want us to have.
It looks like I'll be my computer's newsreader more often to get my RSS feeds and to stay informed.
In the meantime, please, reconsider your policy... At this rate: the Huffingpost will be nothing more than a distant memory, and we'll have lost something that at one time made the difference.
......and isn't THAT what they *really* want?
To shut us up and make us go away?
LET FREEDOM RING!
Let it deafen them... let's NOT be silenced by a loud mouthed half-witted sexual predator!!!
Respectfully,
