A daily thread was resorted too, to accomodate all those complaining FReepers who were "bored" by the troubling subject of Terri Schiavo's impending court ordered death, and wanted not to read about the matter, in numerous new threads and articles.
We are being shushed.
After all,only a "few" of us FReepers care about the "topic".That must be why the posts have always gone in the 1,000s for each new daily thread.
/sarcasm//

I say flame the trolls and out them as the idiots they are.
Or ban them from these threads.

Perhaps we need to post a warning, that the saving of the life of a disabled woman from a court ordered death sentence is a "special interest topic", and ignorant comments are not encouraged, particularly since we are close to our goal.

I dont know about you, but I have been following this "topic" since 1995, and Terri Schiavo is not an exercise in mental masturbation to me.
I attendend the vigils outside of the Hospice where the courts of Florida allowed her dispicable execution to proceed.Once before in spirit, this time in person,several times, at financial loss and personal risk.
I do not apologise for my lack of patience for the new poster who just got through starving his or her parent or grandparent to death by starvation and dehydration, and is gung-ho on advocating tortuous deaths to anyone who can not speak against their own murder in a court of law.
It is not about them.
It is about a woman I will never meet, who has my permission to continue to live.Just because she is alive, and has committed no crime worthy of a court ordered death sentence.
I am shocked that my lone and small actions on her behalf, along with 100s of thousands of people is what was needed to stop her murder.
I am appalled at the number of posters on this site who thirst for her death.
To them, I say,I did not spend eight years of my life in the service of this country for your ilk. None who are fighting and dying now in foreign lands are fighting for your values, and you best bow your heads and shamefully look away when those who actually pay the price for LIFE,LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS pass by.
(to make sure you know cindydawg, this is not directed at you.I am so mad I could spit or drop nukes,and I thought you might enjoy hearing the depths of my ranting rage against the trolls)
