Man, I was glad to find this place. The motto did it for me; "Political bias optional, civility a MUST!" Happiness abounds! No more ugliness, civil discourse would be the norm. I read the rules, I happily agreed to abide by the rules.
It was a matter of hours before I discovered that a fair number of people in here seem to operate from a place of "I'm right, and anybody who doesn't agree with me is obviously, therefore, <less than> and shall be treated as such."
Gee. That's not at all a frustrating mindset to come up against.
Now I'm wondering how many people here would lose their ability to respond to any given post if they were forced to obey basic debate rules.
When I was done laughing, I thought 'Wouldn't it be great if we had just one group where you could start and contribute to a thread but the minute you broke said rules of debate, you were evicted from the group?"
Sooooo. I'm looking into starting one.
:2wave:
What AM I thinking.
:shock:
