Thanks. Usually
I read whole threads, so I don't
miss side discussions.
In threads driven by
emotion -- like war-on-drugs
or Natalee or,
now, people who think
the Lunatic Right defines
all conservatives --
most often you learn
more about the issues and
the character of
various Freepers
in the side discussions than
the on-topic posts.

The anonymity of internet forums does indeed have a way of revealing the true driving forces behind a person's thoughts and actions. It's strange how we can tell others nothing about ourselves, but we are at the same time displaying what really motivates us.
