It’s vanities such as this that make FR look like a kook-fest.

How long would this vanity post have lasted in the news forum 10 years ago?

Things really weren’t that different 10 years ago. Clinton was in his 6th year, with basically the same list of outrages as we have now (just with names & specifics differing). The same basic CWII rhetoric was underway.

If it wasn’t yanked the poster would have been humiliated into obscurity. Now there will be hundreds of posts supporting such rubbish.

It’s getting hard navigating the idiotic posts just to find the one or two gems each day.

No longer or shorter than any other vanity that has been posted since 1996.

Black helicopter sightings lasted for weeks and Michael Rivero was an avid poster who also had a knack for drawing loonies into his conspiracy threads..........

About as long as one that suggested that some twenty members of the Religion of Peace would hijack airliners and crash them into the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon.

Have you ever HEARD such tinfoil nutter mumblings! I mean, sure, it'd make a great Tom Clancy novel, but we all nknow that in the real world, those kinds of things just don't happen.
