That's okay. Onion isn't in FR's league anyway.

I thought the Onion did some brilliant satire occasionally, although some stories were more sophomoric than anything. In sheer percentage of stories posted at this site, I'd say that less than 10% were directly or indirectly related to the goals of this forum. Most of it was simply non-political humor.

It's not worth fighting them for the rights to post here simply because the value of those pieces to the discussion here was minimal at best. I do think they're being stupid and petty, and they're obviously going to see a lot less hits on their site from anyone here.

My guess is that the people at the Onion are not too fond of conservatives, and that's what's really behind all this.
