Have you ever heard of americanforum.net?

[Bog Frog]

I registered there a long time ago but only reviewed the fora once. They sent me a "reminder" email:

"Dear AmericanForum.net Member:

"Since you've registered for your membership to AmericanForum.net, you haven't engaged in many debates or discussions! Don't miss out on your own political enlightenment!"

Are you familiar with the site? Am I missing out? Are liberals and conservatives allowed to discuss things together there? I tend to get hot under the collar easily, so should I avoid that place?

1. We have an "unofficial rule" that "AmericanForum.net" CANNOT...

be advertised here at DU because FReepers and Reich Wingers control that board!!!!

I would strongly recomend that you de-list yourself from their roster immediatly!

2. An unofficial rule, eh? FTR I'm not advertising it

and thanks for your reply. Do you know specifically who runs it? I mean, that Jim guy who runs FR -- does he run AF? Who else?

3. Long story short:

a bunch of DUers were invited to debate on American Forum, and the ADMINS of the site let personal attacks by reich-wingers go unpunished, and many well-meaning DUers were banned for standing up to them.

Check out http://www.alfrankenweb.com/ or Bartcop's message boards for some good discussion.

4. thank you

I like the new kitty you added to your signature as much as the first one.

Edit: are conservatives allowed on either of the sites you mention?

5. Yes-but they can't argue their way out of a paper bag

Thank you-the white cat is Noah and the black cat is Reno. Both are handsome boys!
