Speaking for myself (though I suspect I speak for many others here, as well), may I just say that all of you bomb throwers can go fuck yourselves.
And you know who you are, because your diaries hit the rec list and become flying shitfests on the order of giant, overstuffed Israeli-Palestinian diaries except in these cases, the two entrenched sides are screaming..
"DON'T YOU TELL ME TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"NO! DON'T YOU TELL ME TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
And so on...
So, just to even things out, I'd like to tell both sides of this endless, masturbatory, "I'm-so-oppressed" debate to shut the fuck up.
Look, I hope Cenk finally gets his cable network TV gig so he can quit auditioning here, and I hope those who feel somehow compelled to claim that blackwaterdog (or whomever) was "hounded" out of here can face the realization that people leave of their own volition (unless, of course, they get shit-canned by their own obnoxiousness or by MB).

And to those who insist on "doing battle" (how inane and silly a concept given the nature of the Internet), you will never "win" in the sense that you will finally prove your side is right and the other side is wrong. (Read the I/P diaries of the last six or seven years for proof.)
No one, on either side of this chasm, is ever going to be able to shout, triumphantly, "There! I have proven that my side is right and your side is wrong! It's settled!"
So these wankfests are in vain. (But I don't suppose that will stop the wankers from continuing their endless, eternal wankathons.)
So from the rest of us who actually want to read interesting and insightful diaries rather than wankfests, I have a simple request:
Argue back-and-forth forever in your inane diaries. But please don't recommend them just because you agree with the diarist's latest rant (that essentially adds nothing new to the discussion, but is simply a reworked version of some post that has been launched six to seven thousand times already).
Argue all you want. But don't rec these shitfests. Let them scroll naturally down down the list of Recent Diaries and let them die an unholy and ugly death as they scroll off into oblivion. There is nothing new in a single one of these steaming mounds o dung.
Keep the rec list free of your pissing contests. Please.
Thanks.
