European Tribune - Comments - Friday Open Thread

Friday Open Thread | 101 comments (101 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Compared to a conference about small farmers and consumers and stuff, I'm sure this looks like a haven of erudition.

But, on a friday the whole blogos dies, even the huge arguments on Facebook have descended into imbecility (although some of us suspected this happened some time back) and I confess I a bit bored. So a dead OT is disappointing.

Be interesting to know how many people here are also on social networks like Facebook. ?

I've been avoiding it.

Not quite sure why, except that signing up feels like being pressganged by the Borg.
