Total apples and oranges.

So you can't converse "down home" with other FReepers throughout the duration of the thread?

Why do FReepers have to put their personal opinions alongside the title, when they have a box to do it already?

It's not about being "snobbish" or "elitist". It's just common sense and web courtesy.

I appreciate the (barf alert)s. It allows me to know if it will raise my blood pressure or not.

I might take a month or two off from posting here, seriously. I've become lethargic lately, I need to start hitting the gym!

One of my pet peeves, too . . .

Like the super informative:

SCHOOL HEARTBREAK

Is it a teen love problem?

Have terrorists struck?

Did the water go bad?

Did the toilets overflow?

What city, state, region, school?

Was there a problem with grades?

Another teacher/student sexual conquest?

Another school shooting?

WHAT??????????????????????????

Sigh.

And when I chide folks about such, I'm the one trounced on!

We are likely to continue to differ on this.

I prefer that they do so. It saves me time; adds interest to my scrolling; is often witty and humorous--always a need for those; . . . as well as what I've said above.

Occasionally I'll post a story with an explanation because the original title is so generic and uninformative.

Illustration: The dilemma of a deadly disease (detain TB patients until they die)

"I'm In" (Hillary announces for president)

I'd agree the Barf alerts and editorial comments are seriously overdone and tiresome.

Sorry.

By the same token adding (Alert)s after the title could also be viewed as tedious.

One freeper's informative is another freeper's bane, guess.

Who are you to declare what is the official use of parentheses in titles? (not being confrontational--are you an official in freeperdom?).

And Georgia isn't in Russia, it is an independent nation in the Caucasus.

You'd want to put "Republic of Georgia" or "Georgia, USA." "Former Soviet Georgia" is passe', and Georgia was never part of Russia.

p.s., I agree with you about the comments with the titles.

What I hate is the manditory "Barf Alert" subtitle.

Isn't it usually pretty obvious? Do we really need a "Barf Alert for titles like these?


"Hillary Wows Young Crowd In Minneapolis"
"Rosie Weighs In On 9/11"
"Pelosi In Syria Looking Presidential"
"Bill Clinton Still The Big Dog"
