This is one of my favorite things to do when bored. Sometimes you've just got to give these retreads what-for, and today is one of those days.

1. I think I'd rather dust the top of the 'fridge

but to each his own.

[Richardo]

2. I'd rather LICK the top of my fridge...

...but again, tweech his own.

[leftyandproud]

3. you are giving them hits!

and increasing their Alexa (visibility) rating...

STOP IT!!!!!!!!

4. Thus proving...

some people prefer contention and argument with rocks than argument with civilized human beings.

[angka]

5. you're missing the point.

it's not an argument. there's no contention when you win effortlessly.

and if you don't mind i think there's quite enough contention between fellow progressives. i'm surprised you think it's wrong to save one's argumentative rancor (at least to some extent) for actual adversaries.

although i realize preaching to the choir is easy and quite self-fulfilling...

6. Oh... I Get It Now... This Is Like Israel and Palestine...

You disrupt my forum.
I'll disrupt your forum back.
So I disrupt yours for disrupting mine.
No... I disrupt you because you disrupted me.


Eventually everyone's forgotten who started it, but nobody wants to forget who got in the last hit.

If you must... go ahead and read their garbage. It's wise to know your enemy. But to disrupt and argue with them? Why bother?

Besides...

HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR hideous "public domain" confusing forum? How does ANYONE figure out how to follow a threaded discussion?

Or is it never a true discussions... just a single opener message with a much of "me-too" replies?

8. i agree this software is just atrocious.

it's amazing they have any users at all with this pile of crap.

[Booberdawg]

7. I'd rather

get poked in the eye with a sharp stick

get a root canal

eat worms

lick ashtrays

pound sand

suck rocks

bite someone

clean toilets, by hand

kiss a butt

etc.

[liberalhistorian]

11. I'd rather clean toilets with my toothbrush, then use

it right afterwards! I've been in the enemy camp and it ain't pretty. I finally broke, blew my cover, and let 'em have it but good, pedal to the metal, the whole nine yards. It was a lot of fun, but I'm glad I'm done with that kindergarten fascist training ground.

9. What we need is somebody to write a script

which could automatically register with FR continuously.

You think that they might figure something's wrong when their members exceed the total population of the Earth?

Or would they be crowing about it?

[Ediacara]

10. I think I would

disrupt there, but their forum design is so ass backwards and confusing as to be laughable. You have to have something wrong with your brain to understand how their threads work.
