The only one I would not give one for is invalidating anothers point.I don't think this is productive and it is kind of vindictive.;)
I usually agree, except... well, when I don't. I usually only frubal a person in the above situation if 1. The person they're responding to has been rude to others and they reply in a gentle manner or 2. The person they're responding to has been rude to others and they reply in a manner that makes me laugh.

I never give out frubals to anyone who rudely invalidates/ argues with/ disputes anothers' post when the other person has not proven themself unkind first. (Which is not to say I think it's 'okay' to be mean to mean people.)

Like many others here, I frubal for most (if not all) of the above reasons. Not being with it enough to choose 'other' in the poll for this reason (my brain is slightly fried at the moment), I chose 'for a funny or humorous response including wit', since this is the reason I frubal people for most often. Now, if someone can make me laugh with a witty response, that is well thought out, a good/strong argument, while making a valid point - I'd double the frubals, if I could. :p

You are the one that has the best humour here! LOL you'll have to frubal yourself.

I tend to 'frubal' when I am feeling happy; that may sound strange. There was a recent thread about the 'competitiveness' slant on frubals and coins. Since I have always been totally uncompetitive, this 'frubal' thing has actually made me realize that I am frightened of competition, and that is why I have subconsciously shied away from it all these years.
I find reading the threads tiring, and writing replies even worse; some days I suddenly get the ' urge' to frubal, but since I'm not even sure why I do when I do, I can't very well explain why.

Clear as mud?:)

No, I distribute them quite commonly (just ask No*S). I realized that this is what REX wants us to do with them (the inclusion of the Frubal bar comes to mind) but they do make great presents.
