Hey, wait a minute Orrex--you're posting a thread about them!



Yes, but my thread is snarky and meta, so it gets a pass.

1. I have a hunch it was the Duke LaCrosse team.
And they don't even live in Sweden.

It scrolls other topics off the forums.
Think about it, one story like that, and thousands of posts across thousands of forums are scrolled to where they are harder to see.


Same thing with other shinny objects.

14. Search is an even better friend...
with a major news story, it would take a few seconds to see how many threads already exist.

6. Oh no! He'll have a history of having rape charges dropped.
I have a history of 'never' being charged with major crimes.
It's a step up to have charges dropped unless you're trying to get VISA and Master Card to drop the charges.

7. I think right now would be the moment for Franklin Graham
to accuse the now-unaccused Wikileaks guy of being a Muslim, of carrying the seed of Islam, and call for his international arrest posthaste.

This of course could be facilitated within the hour at FOX News.

10. I just started three threads. I feel I have done my part.
Someone else can now carry the torch.
