[B........... What started out to be a fun, thought provoking place built around Art Bell, George Noory and C2C has turned into a political forum, a quagmire that has very little to do with the above mentioned radio show.
Yes, shecoda ...I feel what you write....certainly seems so.
Most likely my post will get the response of, well post in the area of your interest, stay away from the P & G. It seems most who were truly here to discuss talk radio and/or the subject of talk radio are abstaining, gone or somewhere in between...or other.
IMHO, FF has been in flux and transition since Art's retirement.
For many of us, this change is not either pallitible or easy...reminds me of a book I used to use in business dealling with "change management" called: "Who Moved my Cheese" ....anway I digress.
My cheese, in this example is not grass root level politics, more specifically grass root American politics, but the paranormal specically relevant to subject and talk radio, although I understand how the subject of American politics is most important, near and dear to many here, with good reason....how it relates in is interwoven in much subject.
Yes, I agree....the FF IMHO has become more than not, a political forum....where 'nothing as it seems' has taken on a somewhat new meaning.
Election times pre and post are volitile....perhaps this is a storm that the FF will ride out and once again sail the seas of paranormal talk radio, well in to the night.
I have enjoyed my journey here and will continue to do so, management permitting: it's been great and I've always considered it a priviledge.
That said though, with predicitve hyperbole , I hope the good ship finds it's course, it's meaning and direction and declares what that is....what it's flag represents and what it's flying for....declare it and be done with it.
For many of us, IMHO, the vision and mission of this forum has become unclear, muddy and has been for some time.
Yes, shecoda, I would have to agree that the FF is more of a political forum today, than it is anything else...not that there's anything wrong with that...but there is, IMO in not declaring it so.
The recent treatment of certain long standing members here, with significant contribution in other areas, incomprehensible.
Sorry, Linn, RC, fellow Pirates....just the way I feel FWIW.
Peace and good will to all,
