I am all talked out with those people. (example:
@Mycroft)
Take a regular con, like for instance
@cpwill,
@Felis Leo, --- yeah I know I know, I keep dragging those two up, but there's at least thirty or forty well known cons here regularly who actually use their brains.
I'll talk to them all day long.
I learn from them....ALL DAY LONG!
We both get something out of it....ALL DAY LONG!
My old buddy from another forum
@NWRatCon, says he started OUT as a conservative.
I'd say it's reasonable to conclude he still has plenty of conservative values mixed in among his outlook but I don't spend much time worrying if he's a con or a lib, he's just NWRatCon, which by the way is supposed to mean NorthWest Rational Constitutionalist...I think.
( I may have gotten that wrong - he'll probably set it straight)
The signal to noise ratio on all discussion boards has suffered because it's the reality TV effect, it's the effect of TrumpCon in action. Millions of people who have never had a rational political discussion in their entire lives are now inspired to get out there and
"give everyone WHAT FOR" without even considering the actual concept of rational discourse at all.
That isn't what they are here to do, because for one thing, they never learned how and they did not get inspired to come to do that in the first place.
They think they've come here to
"kick some ass" and
"make libtards cry" and that's all they know.
People are trying to have conversations and they think they came to play running back in a football game.
