The Anti---excuse me, TRUE, Fundamental Forums

Well, the Fundamentalists have been busy with their little wars and games of one-upsmanship. I have been remiss in writing about their latest wheezes.

First, a band of the spoofers and trolls from the famous FFF developed their own website, the Anti-FFF. The famous Fullcourt, while circling around and looking for carcasses, soon alighted. Only problem was, they are so cantankerous that even when they'd woo'd away several disgruntled and some merely curious members of the FFF, they soon banned all of them for imaginary offenses. I mean, in less than a week everybody but the inner circle was banned or had left in disgust.

The greatest revelation was that the Anti-FFF had actually been created by "Tina" from the FFF, with the help of the partially unhinged Mark Jones. Mark is a Pentecostal preacher, and the miracle in his life is not that he speaks in tongues, but that on occasion he becomes silent: a welcome evidence of grace.

Anyway, while a few clever clogs from the FFF had known all along that Tina has both the Chutzpah and savvy to build her own forum, most of the others had always assumed she was doing pretty well just to get each shoe on the correct foot. And Tina, a true Fundamentalist to the core, had no problem hiding her identity while maintaining a presence on the FFF itself, until she was thoroughly outed.

Fate seemed to take a hand when the Anti-FFF, like a top-heavy USS Poseidon, came crashing down when it was struck by the heavy waves of no longer mattering to anybody any more, and it flipped over. It was lost from sight for a few days. But it rose again, this time calling itself the *True* Fundamentalist forum (sort of confusing when you consider it still has "Anti" in its URL).

It still sits out in the waves of the internet sea, a sort of Flying Dutchman of Fundamental Forums, a ghost ship that pretends to be the real thing. Perhaps I am being too metaphorical. A bag of hot air floats just as well as a ghost ship, and perhaps that is the better descriptor for this empty behemoth.

Lately, the Anti-FFF records about 3 users a day, with a one-time high of 11. Why not give Tina and her pals a thrill (before they ban you for wearing trousers or thinking Dr. Bob is an okay guy) by visiting their site? Just be careful not to get fooled by the apparitions of normal. They will soon evaporate.
