And another compulsive-obsessive antifreeper chimes in. How many years has it been for you now Sam? Will you go to your grave pissing and moaning about FR?

Say hello to Sam Spade aka Rufus T. Firefly, better known as Ironic Commentary. What’s your handle (or handles) on the various antifreeper sites?

Anti-freeper sites still exist? That’s news to me. Simply put, I don’t have the time to spend doing that crap, even if I wanted to (and I don’t).

Heck, I have no idea who I’m supporting for President yet either. But I can tell you that the nominee will be Giuliani, unless Thompson gets into the race, and then I’d say he stands a halfway-decent shot (25-30%). The odds would still be against him winning the election (whereas they will favor Giuliani), but that’s the way the country is right now.

And so, because I really don’t like any of the other candidates (except Huckabee), my support will likely go to one of those two. Sure, neither is perfect, but this site right now is trying to overemphasize Giuliani’s negatives while overemphasizing Thompson’s positives.

This gets me back to my main point, which you ducked with a personal attack because you have no answer. Whether in 1999, 2001 or right now, the same sets of circumstances coincided and bannings thereafter occurred in the manner I listed in my earlier post. And when the likely occurrence of Giuliani as Republican nominee (and likely President) occurs a year or two from now, the same reverse situation that occurred in 2001 will happen then. “The more things change, the more they become the same.”

The real net negative is that once again this site has lost a certain cadre of posters who make it halfway interesting. Some will reappear, but others will be gone forever. And also the level of discussion will go downhill once again, as it did back in 1999.

Food for thought.
