I find it interesting that all the responses I got to my comment about Harry Potter is that I must have a boring life and friends. Or is it the case that so many people have such a boring life that they have to fulfill there existence with fantasy.

People responded to your initial comment because you showed your ignorance by claming that those interested in Harry Potter could not also be interested in politics. Clearly, you spoke from a lack of knowledge.

As for those of us here having a boring life, none of us have to spend our time trolling and showing our ignorance on threads that are of no interest to us.

Maybe you should ask Mom if you can come out of the basement and go to the library.

It's just a suggestion.

It may be boring, but it is the life I have...

That's strange. My response didn't have anything to do with our life and friends. I simply suggested that you were 'noticing' something that wasn't true. I also noticed quite a few other responses similar to mine. Strange that you evidently didn't read any of them....

Their point is, if the ONLY Potter fans you know don't know anything about politics then you must have a limited pool of people you know. That is not an insult unless you want it to be. Considering FreeRepublic is full of folks that like HP AND are into politics you don't have to go that far to disprove that statement. You want to take that statement as an insult I suggest you lighten up and learn to expect flames when you jump on a thread full of fans and call them all ignorant. SURPRISE, some of us were insulted by that. I know, I know, it must have been a shock when some of us replied negatively.

Then you must have overlooked my response, which was (and I quote):

“I take it you’ve never seen a 500-response Potter thread on this here political forum. How you managed to miss them is beyond me.”

Nothing wrong with a little fantasy, you should try it and you won't be so whiney.
