Is this the right room for an argument? 

The new Facebook is better!

The new Facebook is better! There's a lot of fuss and bother about the new facebook, but I don't see what the big deal is! Sure, they've gone and changed it AGAIN, just when everyone got used to it... but give it time! You'll get used to this version...

Spam: The Worst Website Promotion Technique Ever

Oh how I detest spam... it's horrible stuff. It clogs up your inbox, it fills up your blog comments, and it somehow sneaks onto forums to ruin interesting discussions! It sucks when you think you've got a new message or comment, only to discover it'...
