That Rico Fata crap is annoying and reeks of internet geekage. Especially to new visitors to the board or to old farts like my dad who get confused easily.

Well that's been said before, and all too often. Sorry, you've been fata'd.
I think a term that gets tossed around way too often on the OT board is "conspiracy theorist". I've always hated the term as it made little sense. To develop a theory there must be a sound idea with evidence, albeit circumstantial, to support it. Heck, what was once a "conspiracy theory" can become an accepted belief. More people today believe that John Kennedy was assassinated by mulitple assailants than believe the one gunman theory. Which is the "conspiracy theory"?
Another is the political shoeboxing. The political spectrum is not a flat two dimensional line. Its multi-dimensional and allows for people to take a more broad scope and examine issues rather focus on party lines or personalities.
Those are two that jump out at me on the OT board.
