I resemble that remark!!!!
True. So there are places to debate politics elsewhere than this site.
That's where I do it, because Area 51 is a cesspool.
it didn't use to be that way...
i keep hoping it will turn around. folks didn't use to take things personal- they argued the topic and not each other... however, the 'trick' to that joint is
extremism... absurdity...
I'm as conservative as they come i don't mind telling y'all- but i still speak in absurdities there- and those guys respond in like... i'd have a beer with any and all of them- we'd just laugh and laugh... seriously.. and i call them friends even though i've not met most of them, personally, myself... and i'll stand by them and let them become whatever they become as a collective or individual... and they'll always have a home so long as i can afford renting the server. i promised them that. i'll stand by that promise just like the one to y'all.
atop that- i'll continue to throw crap at the wall and see what sticks, which is the nature of that place- or at least the nature that it once was..... well, it's still that.. it just seems to have a sense of finality to it now... seriousness... as if people are trying to force their will instead of listening to other opinions... it has straight up lost that characteristic. People don't seem to want to hear others opinions- they want to hear their opinion come from your mouth... i heard that somewhere... that seems to be the case there, now... and i don't know what to do about it.
i think i'll try to force a reset... it is past time. the only reason i've not done it is because it would seem like moderation coming from me, and, i'm still not certain the appearance of what happens there is the actuality of it (as understood by the 'old' group there).
i don't expect that to make sense to anyone here... you'd had to have been 'there' almost 20 years ago when it was conceived and reset daily... until folks caught on.
