I'm sharing this on facebook or thanks for posting it. Even stuff that's been posted a few times already.

This is meta NoOneMan Dec 2013 #60

That's a strawman. I've never mentioned your precious PSA. See how this works? NoOneMan Dec 2013 #38

no. it would be the truth, factual, the reality. seen time and again the last week or two seabeyond Dec 2013 #40

Consider the context. Everyone is sick of this group drowning us with this content NoOneMan Dec 2013 #42

Its already pretty ridiculous regarding the HRC v Warren deal. And its not even 2014 NoOneMan Dec 2013 #82

And yet, if this poll were the other way around you'd be all over it as proof you're right. RC Dec 2013 #99

There has been issues for months, before the PSA thread. I could care less about your PSA thread NoOneMan Dec 2013 #81

of course you could care less cause it does not confirm your outrage, it argues the opposite. seabeyond Dec 2013 #83

What tactic? SomethingFishy Dec 2013 #125

The thing in the OP? The topic of this thread? redqueen Dec 2013 #127
