[giza]

Inspired by an entry from theweaselking...

Posts in my LJ from 2006 that got the most comments (excluding the few Friends-only posts I've made):

January: Osama Bin Laden Wants You To Oppose Gay Rights

Reason for so many comments: One participant was keen on straw man arguments and "appeal to authority".


February: Windows Vista ain't so new after all

Reason for so many comments: Windows vs. Mac


March: This should offend both camps

Reason for so many comments: One participant was more offended than most.


April: Caption this picture!

May: This sums up my feelings nicely

Reason for so many comments: Debate about guns. Kudos to the participants for keeping it relatively civil!

June: Choose Your Own Adventure books

Reason for so many comments: Come on, who hasn't read a Choose Your Own Adventure book?


July: An advertisement I'd like to see

Reason for so many comments: Many of us agreed to disagree. And I learned that PCs weren't as expensive as I thought they were.


August: How to Be a Furry

My goodness...I got about halfway through that January thread before I was totally overwhelmed. I guess I just don't have the stomach for a fight. Cowardly lion I guess...or maybe I just need a catnap.

Nah, it's not you. Many people had difficulty wrapping their brains around some of the logical fallacies that came up in that argument.

I remember being surprised in your birthday comments that Kage'd never heard of (or imbibed, naturally) Chartreuse.

In case it wasn't mentioned, the color of Chartreuse comes from chlorophyll. I presume they just dissolve mint leaves in it or something - that stuff is strong!

What I relearned from reading some of these? Gay Christian Furry Republican is so many forms of ironic insanity the self loathing that it must appear as 'normal' after you even out all the inconsistencies and just don't ask their 'opinion' on anything.

Do I ever comment on your LJ? ;P

Not that I didn't try. :D I still hope to get him addicted to the tasty green goodness. I mean, he already speaks French fluently and knows the dark little secret of the Paris railroad stations, so that should only be a small step. :)
