It kind of cracks me up to see ops proclaiming that this or that on DU, MUST STOP!1!1!!!

You can't stop people from posting what they want to post about. If people want to post redundant posts on breaking news that's been posted a dozen times already, you can't stop it. If someone wants to post about the pulchritudinous (great word, no?) SI cover, than they will.

If someone wants to post dozens of threads about the TPP, or fracking, I assure you that said person will do so.

All you can do is not click on the threads that don't interest you or that you think suck, or post in that thread saying so.

Richard Feynmann pointed out that the fact that you can think of a positron as an electron going backwards in time means that there may, in fact, be only one electron, zigzagging back and forth.

I really like it when their opposition is towards a progressive ideal.
