I always point owners of other forums to FR as an example of how it should be done.

[mysterio]

Yup, and it's my not-so-humble opinion this style of threading is superior to the inline-threading a lot of sites feature.

100% correct. The FR format is definitely superior.

Duh : How in the hell do you read them? I really don't get it. At all. I know the replies don't tab in to each other, so you can't see who is replying to what, but there seems to be something more to it that I must be missing.

To these people "connect the dots" may as well be orbital mechanics.

[SaveTheChief]

I don't believe a freeper would do this.

Nothing surprises me anymore. It's nice to think that everyone here is nice and might think the same way you do. The cold, hard reality is that there are nuts here just like there are over at the leftist websites. The difference here is that this place is very well moderated and people for the most part tend to behave themselves.

[TigersEye]

If there are any sites that have anything remotely like your style of threading I haven't run across them. It is vastly superior to the inline style. Even when the content is interesting I can't read that style of thread very long. Ya spoiled me.

(Gratuitous misspelling inserted to keep DU happy.)

Marc Costanzo is actually George Costanza's cousin. The california branch of the family dropped the A in hispanic california and added the o.

..."mikaka"...

What did you call me? :)

[Tenacious 1]

Just in case the FBI is reading this thread....

I did not know that he had tried marjuana when we did the character interview. And he never asked me if it was ok to put me down as a reference. So I did not lie.

There...it's out. No need to re-visit the issue.

[Krodg]

It slays me to read FR critics bitching about navigating FR.

I hope FR never changes. I hate sites where you can't link back, most posts are answered with smilies and the dreaded green slimy thing just bounces into cyberspace. YUK!!

[Petronski]

Since I brought it up, I will tell you that it is clean and logical, like a printed page--but with threading provided by hyperlinks for those who want it--brilliant simplicity.

All these boxy knockoffs are cluttered and counter-intuitive.

[darkangel82]

You're probably blocked, considering how biased they are over there. I had to sign-up several types because the stupid leftist admins kept deleting my account.

[darkangel82]

Granted, it's not like DU, where every third poster sounds certifiable.

Fixed.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

LOL!

[RWR8189]

Seems to have been a glitch.

Until this person's identity is verified I don't think he should be included in the FR article at all, but it seems there is a consensus for limited inclusion now, and that's about as good as you can expect to get over there.

[mylife]

Wow.
Thanks for the black eye Costanzo /sarc

I was over at the Wiki article a couple of minutes ago, and the section on costanzo had ballooned to more than a full page or two (printed). They were pulling history from God knows when, and tying it to the "sinister" Free Republic web site. What a freaking hoot! [Chad Castagna had a cold four years ago, and, ominously, "marc costanzo" bought Kleenex last month! See! See!]

I think the mods at Wiki knew they were just about to make their site a laughing-stock if they let it go on much longer.

I was kind of hoping that the costanzo section would end up to be the major portion of the FR site post, as it was threatening to do.

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

I don't believe a freeper would do this.

HAHAHAHAHA! You are kidding, right?

[Sandy]

Never cite proof when speculation is so much easier to come by.

The proof is there if you bother to read it. Freeper Marc Costanzo is in real life Chad Castagana of Woodland Hills. A Chad Castagana of Woodland Hills was arrested for mailing white powder letters to various leftists. Now maybe there's more than one anti-leftist Chad Castagana in Woodland Hills. I seriously doubt it though.

[Sandy]

I don't believe a freeper would do this.

Because there's no nutjobs posting here. Right.
