I'd never heard of the place before and went over there after I saw your post. I spent way too much of my time reading their thread about this thread.
~waves hi to the DC nerds~
I have to admit I thought it was a bit entertaining listening to a bunch of super scientific type guys attempt to analyze us. I also got a little warm, fuzzy feeling watching some of our dear departed stumble dazed and shell shocked into the thread where the DCers welcomed them and promised to be gentle with them.
A few of the former FReepers there do seem to exhibit some separation anxiety from FR. I think some of them got excited while they were watching the circus and they decided to come join the circus, but I think, for the most part, they are just content to watch it from their free seats in the nosebleed section. IMO, I don't think they are a major troll threat.
Did they mention me? I once got a shout out from CP.
They’re not all as super scientific as they like to pass themselves off as. Yes, some are genuine scientists and have degrees, but many are not. When asked about their scientific credentials, they either (eventually) admit they have none, or completely refuse to answer or even acknowledge the question. (which is a good indicator of *No*)
They just like to think they’re better than everybody else.
