The anti-Terri posters have a transparent strategy on these threads.
It's been so blatantly obvious it's not even funny.
They come on a Terri thread right in the middle of it, and bait, bait, and bait.
They push someone too far, he/she goes a little overboard reacting,
someone hits the abuse button, and before you know it, the thread is pulled by the moderators.
I was on 2 threads that got pulled within minutes of each other, and the common denominator was a certain poster who will go unnamed.
Also, while I think that it's wonderful that FR has come together for Terri, there's too much of people jumping down each others' throats.
You are right, they do want the threads pulled. Also, I noticed that on some they want the discussion diverted to other topics. On one thread an anti-Terri poster kept posting continually, picking on everone and otherwise disrupting.
