Lox, you win. I'll roll over and just let you have your way. I'm not coming back to my own thread because clearly it isn't possible for a conversation to evolve about a topic in an organic way when people like you and Diane Easby and Ron Davies are more interested in parsing out their own navel lint and following every offhand remark as it if it were of equal weight or importance.

Challenging someone to support a side issue instead of your starting a new thread to discuss it is a waste of the time of people who wanted a lucid conversation about Susan Boyle. We're not interested in the fan sites, the mindless consumption of the story, we want to THINK about it. Bringing in pieces when they are thoughtfully written and timely is one way to forward this conversation--if your sources are yellow rags blaring out nonsense then I don't want to read them, I'd like some thought behind the discussion.

Clearly you don't want to talk about Susan beyond saying the same thing over and over, and you really don't like her, but you do like yanking my chain, and I'm tired of telling you to get lost. I've heard from Joe Offer about calling people trolls--that strategy hasn't worked--you haven't stopped to examine what emotional need you are filling by being the fly in the ointment on this thread. And you are one of several taking turns with pot shots at the topic and those sharing in it. You'd think after a while you'd get the message or go start another thread.
