You resurrect a 12-week-old thread and bother both the admin moderator and jimrob with it? Why?

This is an answer to lonevoice and to don-o; DJ, you are courtesy *PINGED* since you happen to be mentioned along the way (non-perjorative,merely info).

lv:You resurrect a 12-week-old thread and bother both the admin moderator and jimrob with it? Why?

d-o:So you go and comment to a thread that’s been dead since June, exactly why?

d-o:If I did not know better, I’d think you’re trying to pick (more) fights.

d-o:Tell me I am wrong about that.

Long story. I had been out of town for a couple of days and couldn't FReep.

When I came back, I looked up a Palin / Perry food fight.

DJMacWow had mentioned that a vintage 1998 FReeper had got the zot.

I didn't see any names in that thread, so I looked for Palin threads.

I found a long one hosted by the (now gone?) "Conservative Coulter Fan". Since the real Coulter *had* apparently attacked Palin, and the eponymous FReeper was now gone, I used the search function to look at prior posts by CCF, assuming that they had been the Zottee. (I was wrong, by the way: the lightning-rider had been a pro-Palin person, one Tempest by name.) While going back hrough CCF's posts and associated threads, I found the remark in question, and didn't look at the date.

Footnote: I found out it was Tempest when DJMacWow Freepmailed me with the name, by my request. So I did a search on Tempest's posts, too, and they looked like they were doing machine-gunning rapid fire attacks one after the other on anyone and everyone associated with Perry. Good call by the mods.

Food fights are fine, but if they just degenerate into "you're a poopy head" -- "NO! *YOU* are!" -- without any substantive discussion of issues, or links to info, or even quotes from posts to bolster one's points, they tend to detract from FR.

Cheers!
