I saw Farenheit 9/11 for the first time last night. Previously, I had been able to comment only on what Moore himself had said about the film in interviews. But now I have an opinion on the movie as a whole. ---

But seriously, that was actually a comment on **Greathouse** ’s comments. 🙂 I probably wouldn’t have posted if I wasn’t curious about **JSexton** ’s post (since it was the first in this thread, thanks **Excalibre** ) ---

> [@Greathouse](#): > > See, it gets kind of sticky though. If you bump the old thread people will bitch. If you start a new thread on the subject people will bitch. It seems to be a pretty fine line as to where the cut off is. There is no fine line. There is only a thin and wavering, ever-shifting, imaginary boundary. The reality of the board is that people will bitch. It matters not what you do or how you do it, several people will find it offensive and at least one of them will bitch. The goal of the artful poster is to discover which things will invoke bitching from people whom they respect (or, in the case of staff, fear), and try to avoid causing _those_ people to bitch and , secondarily, discovering what will cause disruptive posters to bitch and try to avoid causing _those_ people to bitch. There is no science to it and there are no rules: it is an art. ---

> [@Greathouse](#): > > Say, where’s **Scott** these days? Did he finally figure out that he hasn’t been winning?

This combination statement/argument/question begins with as true a statement as I’ve seen from Scott. [post]6353302[/post] If that was true, and a summery of how the situation seems to the poster violates the rules, then **Shodan** would have lost on the first day.

> [@Scott Plaid](#): > > tom, I must not have been clear. I gave an example of Sauron thinking he was right, when in fact, he was wrong. This is due to his reading what he thinks he wrote/what he would have liked to wrote. Then, I talked about how I believe I am always right. You see, the two are connected. Near as I can figure, I think **Scott** , here is saying that he likes to listen to Boy Bands.
