That is my point. They make their announcement as if anyone gives a damn. No one does. They do so just to get attention or piss people off.

There was certainly a lot of flak flying around over that one post, though. Poor thing never had a chance. “Under the radar” means nothing to that one.

You’re welcome, my friend.

Actually, Thinkiing about it, that may have been a legit post.
Walking into a room and saying “I’m gay/straight’ makes no sense either way, so perhaps it was not a troll comment? Maybe I’m getting soft in my old age...

I'm only here to provide another side to this discussion.
As if there is no?...
CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, PBS, BBC, CNN, CNNI, NPR, NYT, WaPo, LAT, TIME, Politico etc...
All of whom that are quoted and destroyed all day, every day.

My kitteh and I are most worried that such a majestic Viking Kitty ( not to mention a very. Big Viiking Kitty) will still be hungry after this Zot.
