As stated in my original post here, the objection I have is with the FR interface.

And I answered you. I am posting it again, and am bolding it. (pretty slick, we can bold words here!)

I don’t blame you for leaving this tired old out-dated site for those shiny new ones

Let me know if you missed it again.

That was my way of saying that the interface on this site works quite well, thank you.

Perhaps you missed it due to the clumsiness of FR and said interface?

You'll get used to it after you've been here a while.

Some people get it quite quickly, some take a while. Be patient.

You have't figured out the edit feature yet? It's really quite simple. Old fashioned (only clumsy to those with that propensity) but honestly quite effective.

The last line of your original post said, obviously sarcastically:

After all, the content isn’t that important.

That is the statement that led me to believe you must have missed the fact that my displeasure with FR stems from its clumsy UI. I did not miss your less emphatic (but no less sarcastic) statement referring to this site as tired, old, and out-dated [sic].

Even though your observation about FR was intended to be sarcastic, I think you nailed it. I have yet to see anyone argue successfully and objectively that modern sites don't beat this one hands-down. From you, even worse than absence of an argument, seems to be a fiercely emotional defensive stance (as evidenced by all the sarcasm).

I'm still open to anyone who can argue objectively on the merits of this site's UI, but so far the result of this discussion seems to be validating my point that this site is, in fact, tired, old, and outdated (to borrow your apt description).

Please only reply if it's constructive and based on something other than a sentiment or a "belief."
