You were not enthusiastically echoing the words of _Palpatine, were you?

I was entirely prepared for his over-the-top use of "turnip" (though, assuming he's not under another handle already, he probably finally understands what's it like being unable to communicate for a change ... to hear, read, know but only vegetate -- or stew, as the case may be.)


It was this line in particular that got me:

As for repetition? Nobody is more repetitious than you obsessives - lots of "yeah, me too-isms" on these threads.

That's about what this forum's been reduced to ... and largely because of Palpitate and his ilk who've mastered the art of flaming and -- worst of all -- fear-mongering.

When first I started reading FR about 6 years ago, all I ever read were the articles. Rarely were there a whole lot of comments on threads and most of those were way over my head at first.

I've reverted to that. It's depressing anymore to spend a great deal of time navigating through a gazillion substanceless posts which amount to little more than a mellerdrammer chorus of "BOO!!!" "HISS!!!!" "HOORAY, WE'RE SAVED!!!!" or "I THINK ANN's A HOTTIE -- MORE PICS!!" as the case may be.
