This is just RFM with a different interface.


What then is your obvious attraction to this board?

No debate will ever be resolved on these boards. People leave, not because they've given up, or they've won the debate, but because they personally want to move on to something else. I would not take anyone leaving the boards as capitulation. Many critics left MAD, without even being banned, simply because they got tired of the same people arguing the same things. It happens on every discussion board.

I really came back, after signing off for good and a multiweek absence, to make sure Eric and his sycophants here didn't get away with intellectual and moral murder without my input.

That's really about it. I just thought I'd mix it up with Scratch (phony conservative/Scratch sockpuppet Kishkumen) just for old time's sake.

If this board is really as you claim, "RfM with a different interface....a board where very little ever has and ever will occur here....a board which is merely a function for critics..." , then why do care what is said?

If your claims are really the case, then isn't this whole board nonsense and of no consequence to begin with? Why bother?

Liz,
I think you know this fact;
W'out participation of clowns like this guy Droopy, Nehor, DCP, BcSpace & other peons of the CULT this board will become boring. This is why I constantly admonished Scratch not to embarrass DCP to point that he'll quit, Scratch did not listen, in fact bragged about it, starting a taunting thread called victory.
Now that DCP is gone, this place is definitely not better. RFM would never tolerate dissent as MAD&b.
If Dr.Shades paid enough attention what for a platform he's got MDB would be a better place.

I agree that the board would be boring without posters engaging from both sides of the aisle.

My point was actually that Droopy seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth. On the one hand, he states that this board is pithy and has little significance. In the next breath, he is posting here, with intense bravado, on a mission to chastise everyone in sight.

Obviously, he can't quite seem to "leave the board alone". :wink:
