Stay and fight the good fight.

You're absolutely right about the calming effect of the Pope threads today. One 2-line post actually brought me to tears (and smiling) thinking about John Paul and what a great man he's been. I suprised myself, 'cause I'm not even Catholic.

[lilmsdangrus]

please freepmail me why you think that.

[WFTR]

That being said, I haven't seen a lot of difference between the Schiavo furor and the Bush-bot Blitzkriegs last fall.

For the Bush bots, the difference may be that they were now on the receiving end. Either way, I think your post summed things up pretty well.

[Godebert]

Well said.

[Stentor]

Jesus, son, you've been here far too long to slink away. Such bulls**t

Anybody seen Don Morgan. This board seems to throw off those who "protect" it like dead skin. I am way to shallow to leave.

[Howlin]

Bump.

[Coop]

See -- I'm not the only one who has been put off by the tone of the board lately.

Psssstt! It ain't about "lately." Despite the wailing going on here, nothing has changed on this forum.

[Killborn]

No way JimRob said that! Can you please point me to the link?

[Petronski]

Yes, it's a threat.

There's no other way to interpret it.




Oh, and the Religion Moderator has already corrected him on that other bit about driving out fringers.

[aculeus]

Darn!

What's worked for me is what some might call a form of arrogance. I don't associate with fools, even those who vote the way I do, let alone argue with them.

This meant ignoring most of the Terri threads, especially those infested with nutters.

Maybe a purge of the membership is in order?

Anyway I hope you reconsider ... or return if things simmer down.

Look here "newbie"....

The goal of stifling judicial activism aside....all you were doing last week was shopping for a judge yourselves.

[Coop]

There are MANY of us who agree 100% with today's 2 OPUS offerings.

And there are MANY of us who think they're just dumb.

[nickcarraway]

Obviously not, since poster who ridicule the "Pope and his goofy cardinals," are still there. Huh?

[hosepipe]

Poo... thin skins have always been a vector for negativity on FR..
Forgeting where you are and what is the purpose of FR is another one..
FR is really not the place for scholarly discourse as I have noticed..
Opinions like blackheads, everyone has one or more, even if their not very visible.. And others like me, are just covered with them.. Pop an opinion on FR, and you must expect the inevitable Ewwwwwe..

[St. Johann Tetzel]

Oh, and the Religion Moderator has already corrected him on that other bit about driving out fringers.

Good, that's important, because otherwise FReepers will assume the Religion Moderator and Sinkspur are in collusion, that they planned the driving out from the Religion Forum of those with whom they disagreed, and that Sinkspur is beyond touch.

It is important to correct that erroneous notion.

[jwalsh07]

Whatever happened to the strong, silent types that ride quietly off into the sunset? :-}

[Petronski]

Your post isn't bizarre. The post you quoted is bizarre. All that ranting about knuckledraggers....that's bizarre.

I'm glad you posted it.

[visualops]

Fortunately I'm not reduced to counting the threads I'm not interested in ;^)

[Siobhan]

Very well said. Bump.
