That's outrageous.

Meh. Sketch is very borderline for me. Capable of coming up with posts worthy of being read but usually chooses not to. If someone else decides that he's on the other side of the border, what's it to any of us? And why should they be forced to read through shit to get to the good stuff on the site?

How am I too radical, please source this.

My bad, the word i was looking for was stubborn.

Once you take up a position you wont budge, even when you are wrong, then you start doing mental gymnastics instead of saying "welp i guess i was wrong".

If I don't want to read "shit" I just skip it.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Best poster is IMO @Trotsky except when it comes to defending Cuba, its similar to how @Jack V Savage is a great poster except when it comes to defending Hillary.

A lot of the dumbest posts here are irrational or CT-filled attacks on Clinton.

I probably have a similar view of you, though. 80% excellent posts and then 20% weird stuff that is not so good.

Outrageously effective.

If anyone is too radical on the left it's @Trotsky who is a proud commie.

I am stubborn, but I'm also not stubborn too. I'm sure if you made an effort you'll see me say "You're right" unironically more often than just about any other poster.

Admittedly, I probably say "you're right" ironically more than any other poster too.

It's the WR way to take a positive topic and have it degrade into a derail/ shit posting within a few pages of the thread.

Noms work fairly easy and keep it simpler even if it might not be as accurate.

I actually always laugh at that. It's like going to family for the holidays. You know the same dynamic is just going to play out for better or worse but the tradition makes it feel like home.

re: your first paragraph,

Perhaps we could institute some sort of process, something that would, you know, moderate the level of discourse, or something like that.

I wonder how that would work?






I kid, I kid. I love all of you. And these sorts of threads are often quite entertaining.

OK. I'm not telling you what to read or what not to read. Likewise, I don't tell anyone else that, though I might feel that people are missing out and would enjoy reading stuff they're missing. That's not the case with Sketch's verbal eructations, however.

 

[Fawlty]

lol @ this weird shit. Let's cut to the chase. Sketch is here for exactly one reason, and that's to troll me. It's not fun, it's not cute, it's just mental illness. And, you're all enabling him.

I admit this made me laugh. You think I'm solely here just for you? Hahahha

I think you are the crazy one if you think that

Outrageously effective.

I don't know even a broken clock is right twice a day, I don't want to miss anything good cause I have someone on ignore.

Probably, its after all my subjective experience, not a thorough analysis of your posting patterns.

And as i said, it was a poor choice of words, @Trotsky is radical but he isn't that stubborn, except when it comes to defending Cuba.

Its quite interesting to meet someone who is both a communist and has a brain, most socialists i know for example will praise China and Putin merely because they feel they are on "their side".

There's this.

Spoiler

Well, at least in the Presidential sticky threads the voters just instituted something along those lines. Come 2019 we'll see how it plays out.

You don't have him on ignore so i guess all is well!

 

[Andy Capp]

Sorry, I often forget what it's like for normal people. My libido is still prodigious even as I enter my salt and pepper years. At the same time, it's often hard to get enough sleep.

We've had a few discussions in the past.

I would agree that most if not all the attacks on Clinton here are hogwash. Just made up stuff bordering on crazy.

Indeed most attacks on Hillary are unfounded, but you go an extra-mile to defend her to a point where one would think she is perfect.

Ill give you a test.

Can you name 3 big mistakes of Hillary's career? as in things that were primarily her fault.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Whichever mod cleaned up the meme thread and banned crying about memes is my favorite.

Good on you, brah.

This is a personal flaw that I sincerely recommend working on. You can't possibly read everything worthwhile there is to read, and if you're trying to, you probably shouldn't waste any time here at all.
