Wow. A whopping nine posts to that thread, kat. How astoundingly...cynical. Especially in light of the ways people treat one another badly here every day, day in and day out, year after year. And congratulate one another for it with all their "me too" and "good for you!" posts when someone savages another poster.

Just what we need--another duplicitous smiley face, feel good, River Denial thread to counter the Joe Offer sick of bigotry thread. Happens every time someone begins to talk seriously about just how negative this place really is. It makes you feel all warm and cozy in the midst of all the bigoted and hateful behavior here--makes it easy and enjoyable to ignore. I wonder why it never goes away, what with all your positive, warm and fuzzy feeling threads?
