Life is too short. Engage with people who add value to your life and disengage from those people and things that only bring negativity. The six to ten, formally regular posts who left, in part due to the pure pure negativity spewing out of some. Almost a MCMA. Make CigarBid Negative Always.

Good on you, Spey. If you are like me, you’ll find it refreshing.

Disagree. There are certainly more right of center people here (myself included) that I doubt there ever will run out. I miss the 6-10 moderate and moderately liberal posters who felt there was little to no upside to posting here any longer.

I like a good debate. If I ever need a fountain of one sided, closed minded, one trick pony hijinx, I know where to go.

I truly feel blessed to be blocked by those who can't debate and resist new information because their heads are full to the brim with middle of the road mush. You may surrender peacefully.
Thank you. Thank you very much.

instead of blocking each other, maybe organize a charity drive where people can contribute in one or the other's names. Whoever gets the most contributions gets to take over the posting account of the losing person for a day/week, etc...

win win win.

8trackdisco is MAD at me for making fun of his ridiculous claim that his hero Teddy Roosevelt was a "conservative".

Some people live in those nebulous territories of Left O' Center and Right O' Center where anything can mean just about anything they can make up.

Me too (almost always).That makes that around 10 people that I know know of.

I am sick of the name calling, pigeon holing, intentional misrepresentations of what others write, disrespect towards others, and all the assumptions he asserts as axioms that make one evil and destructive for disagreeing with. This does NOT promote open, free discussion, but instead thwarts it.

After 15 years around here, having taken lots of knocks for my opinions and views, and having to smooth-over my relationships with some people, I can honestly say that I have never seen such an obnoxious poster who needs to be discarded- like others have been in the past.

I am sure he will claim to be emboldened by this, and I do expect heavy flack from others over the matter, but I assure you this has zero to do with opinions or politics.

It's behavioral.

Make that four of us (almost all of the time) even in the General Section.
You have been around here longer than me, but in over 15 years around here I find him to be the rudest, most obnoxious person- who hasn't been shown the door. All the name-calling and gaslight needs self-limits he has surpassed by miles. I know of about 5-10 other people who have done the same as we have. Great advice. And, I swear this has nothing to do with our political differences, just BOTL decency amongst friends.

I see but one problem with this thread. You should go back and add pole so we can see how many like minded people have done the same.

Problem with a poll is at least a few (probably more) don’t post here any longer, so wouldn’t participate in a poll.

Doesn’t matter to me though. It’s a good day.

Drafter's question was is he Black or gay and he said he's not Black.
I think most are OK with that and support his courage.
