CFB, for somebody who says "I really dont/didnt care," you have an awful lot to say. 
I could be swayed by the "public figure" argument if I thought that 1) she was influential, and 2) her message was dangerous. I'm not swayed.

You're also doing a lot of lip flapping considering you've got zero skin in the game. I said I dont really care about the mommy.The baseless whining of various twaddlers is a different matter.
On the latter topic, it sounds like you overestimate the average television watcher.

Dammit. I did a little victory dance when you said "I'm done with this 'debate'."
How do I undo a dance?
My motivation is to understand why faceless internet posters feel justified in beating up other faceless internet posters when they probably wouldn't do the same in a face-to-face meeting.
It's always been an interest of mine.

I think it's good to see an analysis like this, even if TickTock didn't put in an 80-hour workweek to get it done in "real time". It's not as if MMND was answering the questions quantitatively or even-handedly. This board has a pretty sharp BS detector (thanks to JG et al) and she was way up there.
And, according to other posters, it's not as if she limits her tactics to just this board. Classic drive-by self-promotion through controversy. She'll need lots of patience and tolerance (and answers) when it comes to those media interviews!

People who have already decided they dont like the culture of a particular discussion group, yet hang around to simper about their disagreements.
Thats always been an interest of mine.
I think its rooted in insecurity.
Or are you just trolling again?
You can go ahead and leave your little dance done. BTW, were you wearing a nice pink tutu when you executed the pirouettes?

Two fine examples of board culture. I have no comment on them, but I want to quote them here to preserve them.

OK guys, quit picking on each other.
Time to shut this one down. PM me if you think you have a good reason to reopen this thread.
