However someone must have preached against it because before long it was gone. I thought it was as creative as the women who burn their hair off so they can say they don't cut it.

I don't like it one little bit when someone's character or reputation is brought onto Question as has these two.

I don't know which posts you are talking about because the LS thread ran its course when I was on my hair thread fast. However, I can imagine some of the things that were said and don't doubt for a minute that things got heated. It's been my experience that people from both sides of the aisle can say things in such a way that causes the other side to get defensive. If anything, both sides would be better served by learning how to better present their case.
Back on FCF, the discussions were heated, but much more civil in tone. The "slash and burn" approach took root after Jim died. For some reason, we've never been able to get back to how we discussed issues during the early days of posting. I believe it's because the foundation upon which our interacting with other, namely that we would discuss our differences while maintaining a certain decorum, was destroyed and has not been rebuilt with subsequent versions of FCF.

Let's see.......RR's giant feathers or speedos? WOW.....that is a tough one. I think I'm inclined to go with the speedos as ugly as that may be!

Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post
Actually the reason that I post so little is that I really don't have a lot to add to most of these discussions. After a while of not having a lot to say you just stop lurking and move on to other things.
