I’m just counting the days until fark.com is gone from my history files (and I’m not going to do them the dignity of removing ALL of my history just to get them gone). What used to be a great site to read odd stories, find good stories and fun, and be a smartass with the best of them has turned into crap. I had tired of it for awhile a few months ago, and not made nearly as many visits as I once had, but I went back and started reading again. Then, I made an off-color post, not that it was derogatory in anyway (and definitely no more derogatory than other posts on the site, or even the same thread), that probably was enough to punch another ticket to hell, but not that bad. I can’t even post the verbatim here, because they deleted it. Not only deleted it, but put me on some 24 hour ban from posting, referring to me as a “troll”. If I was a troll for what I said, then 60% of the people on there are trolls. Funny thing is, I made somewhat similar posts on the same thread, they were left to stay. So because of this, the power-hungry moderators at fark.com, I’m done there. Maybe not forever, but for a long time. Its okay, though, because I had just about enough of the Lord of the Rings arguments and NYC chest thumping to last me a lifetime.
Oh, and for the record, I think the phrase “cheese eating surrender monkeys” is downright hysterical. Its not like the French have the cleanest track record when it comes to history.
