Oh come on give folks credit. It was getting heated our there on the threads as it pertained to Terri Schiavo. Not that it was not captivating all the news channels, every news sight did we have to have 24/7 on FR. I mean I had posted a few threads, we had a good discussion, I may have disagreed but it was fun.
A healthy debate is appreciated. I only gripe about the threads that were not Terri but of other subjects and folks come on the thread moving the discussion from a soldier to Terri. It is frustrating some of us added the little tagline as a gag, to lighten things up, I for one was respectful even to those that did not respect me.
I'm in the minority on policy discussions often enough to know what it's like. Heck, I was a Tom McClintock supporter. But I didn't respond to the regular pounding I took by creating or joining my own little clique here. Every single group of FReepers that has done that in the past is gone, every last one of them.
Remember "The Coven"? The libertarian absolutists? The anti-FReepers? All these folks segregated themselves in the same way that "WPPFF" is doing now, and none of them are here any more.
I respectfully suggest that your annoyance at the persistence of the Schiavo case will be lessened greatly by understanding the other point of view undistorted, even if you don't agree with it. If you still feel compelled to lessen the Terri-saturation level, then go out and find other interesting articles to post that people can discuss instead, that's something that's worked for me in the past when I was similarly situated.
