This is what happens when you take FR (and yourself) way too seriously.

This OPUSing reminds me of all these "coming out of the closet" campaigns.......Hey Everbody!! Attention!!! I got something to say so listen to me!!! I'm coming out of the closet. I'm straight!!!

Although it's not nearly on the level of TLBShow..or even Jack Thompson...

Spot on. I've been doing this since JimRob was doing this on Compuserve. It's a pleasant distraction. When it becomes an obsession, you don't have a life. Then you need tp leave.

I don't think thats what they are getting at.
I enjoy reading the news on FR and conservative thoughts and responses. But no matter what my position was on certain NON CONSERVATIVE or NON POLITICAL issues, I was labeled a Nazi, a buddy of someone who has a conflict of interest and letting their wife die, a liberal because I dont like carpetbagging, self righteous camera hounds.....for starters

Who wants to waste time with people who have lost grip with facts and are letting emotions run their thought process?

You've got that right.

That's it in a nutshell. The trick is to make FR work for you, rather than against you. Mine the good, and eschew the bad.

I disagree.

The people taking themselves too seriously are the ones who allow no disagreement from fellow FReepers when these contentious issues come along, who have allowed their emotions to rule their reason, and who take a single issue and make it into the turning point for American history and all humanity.

Ok...read no further.

NAILED it!!!

It's a 'FORUM'...a message board...where ideas and thoughts are thrown on the wall....and the good ones stick...the bad ones...fall off.

...and it's fun.
