Everybody is responsible. Playing games with shifting it around is just more noise. Lots of noise of FR. This is a pretty stupid place, IMO. But I do love it. Big hearts for the most part, leans the political way I do, so I chip in (mostly remarks) from time to time. Would be much easier to just lurk.


Lurking is easy. It’s like a congressman being absent on the day of the big vote.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m with you, much easier to lurk. But, sometimes, I feel a bit like Popeye: “that’s all I can stand and I can’t stand no more”, and I say something.

Then, back to lurk mode, but everyone knows where I stand.

I hear you. I come and go, and sometimes can't resist venting, all the way up to the scale of a full blown flame war!

My point was the simple and obvious one. Easier to not type than to type. Unlike the congressman missing a vote, I have no duty to pipe up here or anyplace else.

I do believe though, that some lurker have it pretty tough, trying to figure out what they are reading. Just saying, lurking isn't completely passive either. It is just quiet.
