Let me know how your, um, efforts go.  I'll watch.

Do you ever have an opinion about something with which you have not had personal experience?  I have to think you have some sort of moral compass which would require having strong personal opinions, perhaps even things not based on fact. So to extend this, what are the ideas with which you hold very strong opinion? Or is everything meaningless to you until every fact is known?

And maybe they should not have, but it's their platform.  If I don't like it, I can stop visiting.  I find it has some positive aspects, so I check it out a couple time a day.

Back pedal much???

The idea government can fix or regulate this is hilarious to me.  A very bad idea.  But, for those who want to fix a minimal issue in my mind, have at it.  And see what you get.

I guess you missed the HRC election was stolen and the whole Russian collusion thing????  Man this keeps getting better.

Dangerous like posting about HCQ which people got banned for??

Dangerous like the Russian Collusion narrative  which was about Trump stealing the election.  Yeah all the libs were banned for that.

Back down to Pawtucket of the international league kid.

He talks about others being beyond hope.  LOL.  His answer to the bias used against conservatives - don't visit the sites if you don't like their tactics.  After all, who gets their news from social media anyway (his answer - only dummies)?  Again, LOL.

It is hard for me to believe such an urbane and obvious intellectual could be so delusional as to the affects of social media on the general population and how it influences their political decision making.  I think willful ignorance is indeed in play here and I can't quite figure out why.  Perhaps it has to do with the fact that one would have to take a stand about this in order to move away from being willfully ignorant about it.  Truly fascinating.  It's so amusing watching him twist himself into pretzels trying to avoid taking a stand on something.

As I say, y'all can have at it, it doesn't bother me personally, it's not something I find egregious.

If you don't like my opinions, too bad. I don't care. I realize many here have to mangle what I've clearly stated in order to try and lampoon them. That is puerile and stupid, but fairly common, I don't really see the point, but have at it.

Before your hiatus you defended them up one side and down the other. Even when many many articles were posted showing their violent ways. And even when you came back you said well i've never seen them be that way here in Atlanta.
I'm not going to waste my time digging up old threads from 1.5 years ago. 
But those of us on this board then clearly remember your stance.

All that education and time spent reading literature and yet you're just as blind to reality as any welfare recipient.

IDK, while I may "think" Cincy fell off the fence toward the left side, I doubt he defended them, let alone "up one side and down the other."

BLM on the otherehand is another story. A year and a half ago thee were two groups protesting, BLM and Antifa. Many support the idea of Black Lives Matter, not digging into the BLM organizations, and come across as supporting all the crap that came with it. I support both BLM slogans, Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter. I only financially support one group, the FOP.

If someone doesn't want to read your, or anyone else's posts, they can simply utilize the "ignore" function. 

I participate on US Message Board and I probably have around 100 nutcases/trolls on "ignore".  There's no reason to read their rubbish, let alone respond to it.

I enjoy interacting with Cincy though he never laughs at any of my jokes.  Damn vulcans and their lack of sense of humor.   I do agree with your assessment.

Yet anoher flat out liar here.  This place has been taken over with them.

Either that, or they fail to comprehend plain English.

I'll go with flat out liars.

Maybe you could recognize some of that emotion you're showing as the same emotion that people feel about social media that censures political speech.  Social media flat out lies about many things and eliminates any opposition.  You get exited over what a single poster says and are not at all bothered by worldwide social media censuring whole groups of people because of their politics.  I find this fascinating but not amusing.

You wouldn't know "emotion" if it hit you in the face.

If you don't like social media, don't engage with it, problem solved.

More and more liars joining in, I see it as a weakness of mind. They can't argue coherently, so they just lie, and lie, and lie.

And I don't see how I got "exited" about anything. I don't have a clue what that means. Excited? Hardly. Slightly annoyed? Somewhat. It's pathetic. But par for the course around here. This place has really deteriorated badly. And yes, I know what to do if I don't like it.
