(EDIT -- If you think this is an anti-Edwards thread, you've got to stop and take a breath...and read through the thread.

I don't think its so damn funny.
Edwards wasn't my choice, but he has some passionate supporters on here. Show some respect.

9. It is funny
There were at least 10 new threads with the announcement within minutes of each one.

I don't think the post was meant as disrespect toward Edwards supporters.

11. Alert is your crutch
It allows you to knee-jerk without thinking about the post you're reading.

6. What's so funny?
The fact that the media completely ignored a man that placed second in Iowa without receiving any press at all?

7. no - the fact that EVEN THOUGH there is a "Please check for dupes"
people think that their "Edwards is dropping out" thread is WAY more viable than the other 12.


And it hurts to read it OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

14. Prime example...look at post #10...
My explanation, time-stamped at 9:24.

And you post at 9:29 "Let's ask Atman to explain."

You really went out of your way to illustrate exactly what I was my OP was about...people posting without even reading the board.

10. OH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE PEOPLE GET A CLUE!
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 09:28 AM by Atman
I've got at least half a dozen posts this morning already stating that I'm an Edwards supporter! What is WRONG with you people?

Look at the "DISCUSS" page...EVERY NEW THREAD SAYS OMG! BREAKING! DID YOU HEAR? EDWARDS IS OUT!?"

NO SHIT.

It just common sense...if you turn on the television and they're already in mid discussion about Edwards dropping out, you can bet the farm that ten people have already posted about it. Why do people keep posting this "breaking news" without even looking at the board?

It's not about EDWARDS! Lighten up, people!

16. you should have thought that this could be misinterpretted
And not even posted it. Sometimes attempts of humor should not be attempted.
