Poll question: Freeper threads, love em? hate em?
Because there are a whole lot of them being posted lately, I was wondering what people think.


Your opinion/feeling about threads in GD about what freepers are saying?

5. I don't mind the threads...
I hate giving them the hits and boosting their ratings in search engines, so it's entertaining to read some of it here at times.

6. One of the polls I've ever seen here. I think they're a waste of space.
Personally, I don't want to waste my time on that crap (especially since they rarely provide clues about plans or actual activities). Apparently, there are those who find those threads entertaining or whatever. I just stay clear of them (although I have lodged strong protests against the posting of their venomous hatred from time to time).

8. so far I'm surprised
there are no votes for "know your enemy". I often hear people say this is why they keep track of what freepers are saying.
Personally, I don't go there. I already know there are nasty creepy people in this world and that is enough for me.

7. it's just that they are soooo DUMB!!
there is not much that freeps have to offer besides hatred and incredibly lame remarks.
I don't understand the obsession with them, but I wouldn't want to censure those threads.

9. FReepers need to stop 'terrorising' DU with their hate-speech.

10. Hate them.
I've never seen a point in board wars, and that's what the freeper threads are. People go there, they come here, each goes scuttling back "home" to tattle. I don't think it accomplishes doodly and is just the equivalent of pointing and going "neiner neiner".

Couldn't care less what they say and don't see anything good coming of taking up space with it.

11. each to their own
the threads are sometimes tempting to read, like not being able to resist looking at a car accident! There is something rather morbid about the attraction for me, so I really try to avoid them.
