You signed up today to defend your FRiend? How sweet!
Is it not possible that I've been lurking for YEARS, and consider most if not all FReepers my FRiends. I read many threads, know many by name, have my favorites, etc.
I'm not a big poster or joiner - however, as I see this thread reduced to cannibalism (as others have already pointed out), it saddens me.
Sorry if your offended by a "newbie". Does being a "newbie", make my opinion less valid?
