re: #80 realwest

I agree with that - have you noticed, btw, that not only do the less mentally stable of us tend to post more on the later night spin offs -and that there are more folks who post spin offs late but never seem to comment out here?

Yeah, that’s sort of what I was referring to. There’s sort of a whole class of LGF members who are just here for the spinoff links — to submit them, and/or ding them up or down, without ever participating in the comments section.

I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Lots of people may have worthwhile links to exchange, and they just don’t happen to feel like chatting here all day. More power to them. But the “twin sites” dichotomy does mean that the links section can evolve a completely different feel from the comments section, and it frequently seems to veer into far-right craziness. Actually at some point within the past few weeks, one of those “links only” crazies actually posted a few comments, and promptly got himself banned in the process.
