Is there any way to extract Febble from UD? Does anyone have her ear?

Reason I ask is that looking at the front page it's become obvious that UD is increasingly spamming their site with absolutely anything they can in order to appear relevant; the "illusion of affairs" to steal a phrase from Conrad.

Most of these 'articles' attract zero comments, the only ones that seem to do so are the ones in which Febble engages the Tard. If she would only let them be we could watch UD sink further into obscurity.

We've seen what happens when the inmates have no one to condescend to; they start eating their own. Febble (and socks) are interfering with nature's course in not letting UD consume itself and die.

I know it's tempting. And as much as i've enjoyed this monument to tard over the years I'd really like to watch UD wither and die.

Just me?

Trouble is, Febble has a) a sense of humour; and b) the courage of her convictions, which have not been lightly arrived at.

I think she also enjoys puncturing pretension and inflated egos, both of which abound at UD

However, given another forum where she could express and discuss all those things WITHOUT being constantly accused of lying and intellectual dishonesty (such accusations being blatantly false) and from which kairos-fucking-focus and Chicken Joe were absent, she may well shake the dust of UD from her feet.

Her own blog -"The Skeptical Zone" - has housed some interesting discussions (a bit rarefied for me, but then I'm a lout). A few denizens of UD have been seen there, like William Murray, but I don't think any of the sillier ones have contributed- apart from Chris Doyle, who for some unrevealed reason managed to delete a thread he had started, and all its comments.

Which was kinda weird

But we all know that UDers are shit-scared of commenting anywhere that they're not protected from derision or effective argument by biased moderation and rent-a-mob sycophants
