Is this a tongue-in-cheek thread or a genuine opus? If its the latter, I have to tell you:
lame. I remember when an opus used to mean something, when a FReeper took a little pride in their work. I can picture many a FReeper past, hunched over keyboard, working the perfect phrase, mulling over each word in order to best address grievances point-by-point until, at last...the perfect rant. Where's the craftsmanship? Where's the attention to detail? Where's the
detail??? You have eked out a meager, what...three or four annoyances to create an opus about?
Yeesh! You're upset about Ann Coulter pictures and "Caption This" threads...tell me, friend, where is the value in that? Is the Republican party going to fall apart because Ambrose is hung up on pit bulls? Will O'Reilly lose his show because we may have posted one to many "Freep this poll" threads? Will abortion be mandatory because some of us want to discuss
Lord of the Rings? Is this truly the end of conservativism as we know it? Can you
believe Tapit didn't win the Derby?
Are we going to have to start a thread just to show how to properly craft an opus? You're right, Chambley. It IS a shame!
