It bugs the crap out of me, too. I like to lash outward, rather than inward. I'm going to start running around with a fork, soon. Folks better watch out. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I'll have to stock up on corks to protect me from Mark. "Not mother?" - Alex Scoble
Lindsey, I'm sure they exist, but I haven't seen them ;) - Veronica
A part of me hates it but a part of me thinks it's good. Shouldn't we be passionate about presidential politics? I'd rather have that than apathy. That said, it wears me out when I get sucked in ... yet it's important damn it! If I can muster another back and forth on SEO or FF3 or anything else ... can't I do the same for a presidential election? *sigh* Time for LOLcats. - AJ Kohn
AJ, perfect idea! Every time I see a stupid comment, I'm giving myself a LOLcat chaser. - Veronica
Liberal use of hide today on FriendFeed. - ha3rvey

I think that as long as people are civil in their discussions that public discourse is a great thing. And it's good fun, to boot! - Alex Scoble
I think it's because I don't like competition... it's why I don't engage in PvP, and why I don't argue about politics! Heh. - Veronica
Passionate debates over politics are central to our democracy. Frankly, I'm sad that it seems so CONTAINED to the Internet. - Kevin Hessel
I really only like to argue about more concrete things. - Lindsey in Love
I agree Veronica, it shouldn't about competition, per se. It should be more about learning and sharing than who's right and who's wrong...then again when someone says something wrong, I'll definitely let them know, in the most civil way possible...most of the time. I think I remember writing a post where I called a certain class of people idiots, but I'm feeling a lot better now. :) - Alex Scoble
Plus, I don't think it's good business for you to piss off half your viewership one way or another for Tekzilla... - Live4Soccer
Why, so we can go back to the important business of blogging about blogging, twittering about twitter, and iPhoning about iPhone? Hard to imagine a more important thing to "squabble" about than the future of our nation and our world. What bugs me are the children who can't have a civil discussion or restrain themselves from personal attacks. Also agree with Lindsey - there are some very constructive, civil discussions occuring, and I'm glad. - Anthony Citrano
Just wait until we can Digg for our President... - Jason Wong
no matter who wins they are just puppets on strings does it matter? - orionstarr
Sarah Palin is hot! I mean hot. Veronica... I ain't squabbling. I'm salivating - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Do what I did, hide or close pages of squabbles. Then start to spam people with cyber hugs, lolcats, caramell dansen videos and cute overload pictures. It's working. - Candace Holly
Squabbles are exactly what they are. Hiding is the true power of FriendFeed! - Paul Reynolds
Yeah! Why can't we go back to discussing *important* stuff, like Twitter, Friendfeed itself, or the latest iPhone? I mean, who really cares whether we bomb Iran, or if we get quality healthcare, or what kind of energy policy we have? - Eric P
the problem I have is wading past the uninformed takes too much energy - Hal Rottenberg

Yes Paul Reynolds loves to block people. He wants to surround himself with people who think just like him. Never wants to hear opposing views. - Michael Tefft
@Veronica: I hate to make it worse for you but you're gonna have to wait until April or May. It will take a few months after the inaguration for the winners gloat to wear off. - ChiliMac

Eric, don't play that card. There's a big difference between having an intelligent conversation and mud-slinging. That's what I'm sick of. - Veronica
I have to admit I wasted my day fantasizing about being on a desert island with Sarah..., but when the dream was over I wiki-d her and she is exactly the kind of leader our country needs. I would vote for her over Obama or McCain. She is a woman that takes her issues seriously and lives what she preaches. - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Well McCain's publicity stunt worked on Noah, is anyone else buying into this? Cause we could really use another four more years of Bush. ugh. - Percival Carti3r
I think Jill Biden 10 years ago would've given Palin a run for her money. Now *this* is the kind of political discussion I can get into! - Paul Reynolds
