You appear to be missing the question, The question is why is Mia T repeating the same space consuming graphics over and over again , and why doesn't anyone else have the intestinal fortitute to critisize her for it?

I said in my post I appreciated her work, she does make great contributions to this forum , but that shouldn't give her carte blanche to repeat herself voluminously over and over again, it's boorish.

She addressed it earlier in the thread, but I might be able to add to it.

Have you ever watched television? Think of the repetition as advertising. You've undoubtedly seen the same ad many times on any particular channel - and while it may not impress you after the first viewing, you're not the only person observing that channel. New people are watching at any given moment; many have never seen what you already have. And given how posts on FR may be buried under the daily avalanche of posting traffic, I personally feel that repetition of points, when well made (and even with modem-torturing artwork) are critical in grabbing the eye of the uninitiated.

Mia's got what I feel is a distinctly punk style of political commentary. And the visual stuff is a cornerstone of it. What she does is probably going to appeal to the younger crowd many, many times more than even the best written, National Review caliber commentary many of us aspire to. And don't underestimate the importance of it.

As a former leftist, I've seen too many young people on that side reject conservative thought because they feel it destroys "creativity." It's a poor reason for that rejection - perhaps the poorest of all, but it is one of the first forks in the road for many young people. And they make a poor choice based entirely on a false premise. And while we all know the premise is nonsense, Mia can demonstrate exactly why.
