Well, dear, YOU certainly aren't "important" at all.

Opinions will vary ;)

OTOH, fatima never did claim that SHE was; but she is quite IMPORTANT to her FRiends here.

I am glad - she's lucky to have good friends. As are you. As am I.

Opinions "might" vary; however, in the scheme and history of FR, you are insignificant and THAT is a fact.....not an opinion.

Case in point: you and your ilk hijacked this thread and turned it into a flame war and a place to air your own agendas, pimp your forum, and insult Jim and everyone else who is not part of your teensy group. I group, I might add, which spends the vast majority of its time discussing something that is NOT politics. This forum was set up for the debate and discussion of POLITICS!

Yes, by now, FR has morphed into a site that encompasses other things.........which is okay if you people stay in your own part of FR, I guess; however, you don't. You came onto this thread and ruined it.
