RO: ELF strikes again

In this episode, they’ve knocked down a couple of radio towers in Everett, WA.

They came for the test animals, we said nothing.

They came for the radio towers, we said nothing…

Maybe some good can come of it. Is Glenn Beck off the air?

Since this thread is pitting a liberal terrorist group, I predict it will die quickly.

Aaand you’ve just made this thread about you. Nice job.

I wonder how the ELF feels about tax policy.

Giraffe used to close threads that included only a quote and a link.

The rules support his practice:

Revised Forum Rules for the BBQ Pit: read this before posting - The BBQ Pit - Straight Dope Message Board

I’ve also followed that practice. So I’m going to move this thread to Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share. As usual, the MPSIMS moderators are free to move it back here if they think that’s best.

I hope they catch the people responsible and feed their fingertips to rabid wolverines. Their behavior is criminal and deserves nothing less.

I find it ironic that they have the same name as the controversial ELF system that was protested so much. You had to be around during the Cold War when this was built to release how opposed people were to it’s operation.

Sorry. Can’t muster up enough hate because of lame opening post. But I’ll bump it to spite you, is that sufficient?

Oh, and their name’s acronym sucks. Stupid hippie crap!

This is among the stupidest things I’ve ever seen on these boards, and that’s saying a whole damn lot.

Try this: do a search for threads with PETA in the title.

Now choose any other fucking organization on the planet, and do a search for threads with their name in the title.

With the possible exception of major US political parties, I defy you to find a group that receives more vitriol on these boards than PETA. Hell, replace “vitriol” with “free publicity from people who fall for their trolls,” and the point stands.

Your prediction may be correct, but for the dumbest reason imaginable.

Harmful radio waves?

:dubious:

Mostly, I think this thread will die, because there is noone here to defend them. These guys are nutballs.

Didn’t the ELF system kill a married couple who were exposed to the waves? If I remember correctly, they had to keep traveling west without stopping or their ears would explode.

Yes it did on the X-Files.

Anyone who ever read The Lord of the Rings should know the probable response of the ELF people to cell phone towers!

I tried to find the articles on the man that led a gang of teens to destroy electric and telecommunication equipment in Wisconsin. Some of it was towers. It was in the last decade. He then was caught before he let lose anthrax in the Chicago subways. I think this was while on bail for the Wisconsin terrorism. The guy was someone that would fit right in with ELF.

I’m extremely liberal. ELF are whackos and terrorists who deserve jail.

…oh, I’m sorry, did that break your preconceptions?

I thought this thread was going to be about an upcoming Will Ferrel sequel :frowning:

Based on how this thread has continued, I think it’s fit for the Pit. Tossing it back.
