If he posted to just bitch that he didn't like Rush talking about his new book, how much discussion could there be? All he could expect, knowing that he could not change the situation, is that someone may agree or disagree with him.
Now if you super-intelligent overseers of us uneducated and dumb, normal freepers would enlighten us on how his post does anything to improve FR, go to it. I think the football threads are more entertaining. At least I don't see any pomposity in those discussions.
You keep bringing up this smart/dumb argument….obsessing with that….and missing the main point of the poster. Forget smart or dumb, but I’m telling you the dynamic here that has totally escaped you is that the complainers are the most ardent listeners who are the biggest over all supporters of Rush.
Apparently, you cannot understand the concept of wanting “your team” to do something different because you think it’s “hurting your team.” You have jumped to the conclusion that these are anti Rush folks. You are the ones totally ignoring the idea that a forum like this is a great place to blow off steam without thinking something is going to change.
Now a case can be made that to miss all of that is to be dense, which may or may not be the case for you. Either way, you have totally totally soooooo missed the point, thus your counter arguments make no sense in context.
