Piss off.
I agree. There are people who registered in 2003, 2002, 2004 who talk about our current time as if it is so unique. They do not realize fights over Buchannan, Outsourcing of Jobs, War on Drugs, Homosexuality, abortion have been happening for a very long time now and happen all the time. The only difference is there are more people posting to FR than ever before thanks to the media attention FR gets. If you go to the threads from 98,99, 00, and 01 I can gaurantee you won't recognize half the names there, b/c people come and go all the time but never made a big stink about it. The only difference now is admin mods aren't yanking vanities as often as they used to. I remember they used to be really strict about vanities, but now anyone with any gripe can air it freely as an independent post. That was not very common previously.
And good to see you!! I sure hate to see some of those who have left recently leave. Perhaps they will return some time in the future.
If, as you say, this is "stated plainly", then it should be a simple matter for you to c/p the evidence to support your claim. Please do so.
You didn't say you were looking for specifics.
Anything that do to its inate intellectual brilliance made an effect on the ongoing debate. He will not be missed.
Stop it! You're killin' me!!!
"The discussion threads regarding Terri Schiavo" and "the rest of FR" are mutually exclusive. Hence, they are not the same thing at all, but things which are different in the extreme.
She gets stalked more than David Letterman.
Splitter!
You signed up just now to make this post?
Provacative? Well, I think it's accurate. If anyone on this thread has the ability to bait others, it would have to be the one I directed it at.
*grin* Thank you!
No kidding.
IMHO...you've stillgot FRiends here if you need them LC. And that counts doubly for this soldier!
an after midnight troll.
being equally nasty to everyone....a dead giveaway.
We are NOT that old!
Withdrawal is one thing. But that isn't what happened. The WPPPFT kept on about the TS issues, incessantly. I watched it happen, and to me, all it said was divide and conquer, moving Hillary much closer to the Oval Office in the process.
I'd lend more of an ear to your post if it wasn't directed solely to me.

NOOB!

Give new meaning to "bashing Bush".
Like moths to flame it seems.
