Rather than a credit to FR, this thread soon will be seen as an embarrassment. Because of the bad behavior -- a case study in mob rule -- I think it will be expeditious to delete the entire thread when its perceived goals are met. While it may be deleted from FR, I'm sure it has been archived widely across the web.
Certainly no serious political candidate will be able to associate with a website proffering a thread of this type as its crowning glory.
Rather, this thread will contribute to a series of MA and Ph.D. theses in a variety of fields, including abnormal psychology, sociology, and anthropology.
In particular, it will be an excellent case study in mob rule, as well as what has become known as the "Lucifer Effect." Theses may also explore the Stockholm Syndrome, studying the effects on those who remain.
The particular subject matter of the thread won't be of much interest -- what will be of interest is the behavior of various members and shifting groups and sub-groups.
The most vociferous of the hi-fivers may now consider themselves famous, but their lasting contributions may be merely footnotes in Ph.D. theses.
LMAO. Oh you were serious.
Carry on.
From Coyote’s website:
I am taking a hiatus from posting on FR. You may contact me via DarwinCentral.org
lmao, yeah you’ve been watching and commenting plenty, just not on this site lol.
You’re not trying to promote your site are you?
Someone was showing me responses to this thread on several of the antifreeper sites a while ago.
Funny, but a couple of the posts read exactly like your post, practically word for word.
FR will be fine.
Same could be said of DC.
I nominate you for the Darwin award.
Then what's the point of deleting it from FR so FReepers themselves can't see it?
I'm sure one of those is at DC. Right?
Or it may just be mostly forgotten, with a few tall tales saved for future Freepers.
Ph.D. theses. Sheesh.
Poor baby.
Well, then, Coyoteman, let's go to DC, the site you moderate, and "feel the love." What example do you self-appointed brainiacs set for the "pot", Mr. Kettle?
The following is just one post from a thread that you personally moderated. And although this particular excerpt is from Tiamat, you offer your own digs all the way through the thread. Then when the target of your nonstop insults tries to defend himself, the whole pack of you descend on him like ravenous hyenas.:
"Okay Don.
"I haven't a CLUE why you insist on continuing this pissing contest, because that's what this "devolved" to several pages ago, with you merrily helping it right along.
"Now you got your ass canned from FR, and you came over here. No problem there. Everybody bailed out and said , "Hey! Great to see you!". I was one of those. You were HONORED! In OUR House, and awarded.
"Then somehow this whole stupid thread got engendered. This thread got engendered mostly because YOU came onto OUR turf, and started stirring the shit, apparently for fun. You are and continue to be snide and derisive and combative. Snide, and here is an example: the man runs under the name "Tortoise". He is not "the turtle". There was much more. If I cared to dignify some of what passed I would cite it, but I do not deign to do so.
"What this boils down to Don, is that you have been behaving like a boor. You came into OUR House, started swinging, and have kept it up for DAYS. I gotta wonder when you ever sleep, you are so eager for a brawl."
Put your own house in order, chief, before you start lecturing us.
You take this WAY too seriously.
