Well... I said AFF... but I mean AFF in all it's past forms (FCF, NFCF etc)
And there were always a few who were allowed to dissent. In the beginning (FCF) it wasn't like this though. Over the years some real hard nosed individuals came around and loved nothing more than to get their daily ban/infractions. This is a relatively recent developement though when you take in the full course of the FCF forum history. It certainly wasn't that way in the beginning.
Dan was here during the days of my way or the highway... but Dan spent much time banned (on the highway).
Somewhere along the line the way the forum was handled devolved to the mentality of church of 17 people 4 miles back in the woods. When that didn't work then people just left.
The cons have always been here.
The libs have always been here.
But in the beginning no one had an overbearing rule over the other and I believe that this is pretty much the way it is now. The main difference is that those that left now have a place where they can pat one another on the back... bug in here... and go back and talk about how unapostolic we are. This does wonders for their ego.
