Okay.  I liked them.  I have started a great many.  But there are a few things I don't understand (and I am hoping someone here can explain)...

1.    Why is it necessary to keep repeating some of the same people?  I mean, how many "Opinion of George W. Bush" threads have we had?  Is it that someone is too lazy to search for an older thread?  Because sometimes these are only a week or two apart, and I don't think the "opinion of" is gonna change all that much. 

2.     What's the real point behind threads like "Opinion of Hitler...Stalin...Mao..." etc.  Obviously, one or two assholes are going to say FF because they are dicks.  Another three or four might say FF just to mock the stupidity of the thread or because they think it's funny.  I just don't get it. 

It's not that I dislike opinion of threads.  I think they can be especially informative and helpful in getting acquainted with some pivotal politicians of the past.  And it may be a means of introducing us to current ones we are unaware of.  I just don't see the sense in some of the ludicrous ones.

Yes, he reached unprecedent level of such thread "creation" without even bothering to check is we had already, so we all suffer from overdose

I don't like this "ban him! ban him!" choir.

He's not bad poster - just need to realize he's posting extremely too much.

Fine, but flooding is still a violation of the ToS - so some disciplinary action (even if that's just a stern PM from Dave and/or the mods) needs to be taken.

No, spam is generally non-substantive, or at least non-contributive in some way.

His posts in Individual Politics would easily qualify as spam, as do a lot of his other topics which are often idiotic or mindless.

It's flooding, not spamming.

It's spam and annoying, but no reason he should be banned before Hamilton or J. J.

When has Hamilton ever done anything even remotely approaching Rochambeau's flooding?

About a month ago, on this board. I did too, for the record.

There's a difference between spamming and flooding.  Rochambeau only floods.  Hamilton does a variety of things.

No, as we apparently keep needing to reiterate, it's flooding.  Very different from spam.

He's no more guilty of spamming the forum than you, Mr. 47,831.

I have 21.743 posts per day. Rochambeau has over 100.

Even so, you pollute the forum with incessant polls about whatever garbage just blocked itself in your stream of consciousness at that moment.  Rochambeau's incessant polls at least have some kind of politically relevant theme.
