I missed it, who opused out? I remember recently looking at one of my old bookmarked threads from like 2001, and it amazed me at all the names off the thread that I'd sort of forgotten, who were banned/suspended. I always seem to miss the day they leave.

A non-opus opus?

Nice sentiment but I have to give it low marks for entertainment value.

You probably think everyone knows what you are talking about.
Well I sure don't! Is this an obscure tantrum in a teacup? What is this soap opera we have been missing?

Bravo. I just cut down my participation until the rabid ones toned down. People were a tad interperate. That too shall pass. I wouldn't miss the next epsode for the world.

"Some long-time valuable posters have announced their opus to leave FR today."

Statist-RINOs who are also FROBLS are "valuable?"

To whom??

You don't have a marriage that lasts 30 years by walking out over a fight.


Cool off, talk about it and kiss and make up.

Glad this isn't an opus.

We're gonna do the top 10 FR Opuses next week. It'll be fun (a CA Guy's idea)

Good for you! I think folks are getting far too upset over this week's events. I don't agree with everyone on everything, but I know well that we all need to work together as conservatives.

My sincere appologies to anyone that I may have offended during the past week. Don't take it personally, folks. The best of us get fired up from time to time.

While I agree with Poobah and Hutch that the Shiavo threads got pretty psychotic, I long ago found away to deal with threads that you know will go nuts: don't click on them unless you feel like visiting the insane asylum. Some topics just get hot, and they tend to be occupied by the same people on both sides, when people start carrying on the same argument for weeks on end it has no choice but to get ugly, that's human nature. And if you step inbetween you'll quickly find out why domestic violence calls are the most dangerous for cops, best thing to do is let them beat each other up and go find a different thread.

Where does one go when they leave FR? I know Tblshow went to Liberty someting or other. I may be odd but I don't get all frantic or pissed at a particular thread, I just go on to the next one that interests me.

There is a whole big life outside of staring at a monitor all day long people.

I dunno. Sometimes I get peeved at someone, just as I am sure others get peeved at me. When it gets to be too intense, I generally shut off the computer and go do some gardening or something (there really is a life beyond the computer). If it's become super-annoying, I might not log on as much.

I do know one thing--if I ever decide it's just too horrid to stay, I won't do an opus. Gosh I hate them. Nope, if that happens, I'll just quit logging on. I don't see the big deal about the dramatic opuses (opii?) before leaving.

And truthfully, over the years, I've seen a lot of these, and an awful lot of them come back after a time--sometimes mere days. That would be humiliating, if it were me, to make a big deal out of storming out the front door, slamming it real hard, then creeping quietly back in, hat in hand.

Ah, well...

The bigger threat to FR is the wimp whose feelings are soooooo tender he can't handle disagreement. I beleive Disney has forums where one can discuss the relative merits of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. I hope the tender hearted panty waists make the trip to disney.com.
