Myself, I like Fark because I can go there and engage in pyrotechnics and play fast and loose with facts and say things without regard to the feelings of others because, well, that's pretty much expected. On the other hand, I spend about 10 times as much time here, because it's nice to civily talk things over and have one's stupidity reserved for more benign uses (like in Tilted Nonsense). It's the difference between the upstairs, back of house, wood panelled bar and the mosh pit in front of the stage. Everyone hears the same music. So we mull some of the same issues as they do on Fark. So what? We do it differently. A thread here, for instance, can last for weeks or months. A thread on Fark lasts a day. Two at most.
Anyone can play football, but not in the NFL.
