    Default You Win

    Looking at the threads on the front page has finally tipped me to the logical conclusion that this is not Political discussion board. It is a garbage dump populated by and catering to White Nationalists. I might give it a try after the election when their voices have been silenced, but attempts at discussion here are an exercise in futility.

    You win. It's all yours.

    I hope you don't go. I understand what you mean though. The mods let one or two ppl dominate all the discussions with nothing but invective, stupidity, personal attacks, and keyboard diarrhea. Steven VanderMoron and TerriBendsOver4Trump are two of them who add nothing but garbage.

    In my opinion you can add Confart to the list.

    Well I would't write it off but I can understand your feeling. It feels like Stormfront.

    I feel that way sometimes. And I've wanted to leave many times. I do understand.

    Recharge and return! Don’t leave permanently, that’s the moron’s mission to drive other opinions away.

    Hello Concart,

    You win. It's all yours.
    That's not true.

    All you have to do is raise your moral standard for who you will talk to. Simply refuse to talk to anyone who tries to get personal. It is a simple line that can be drawn. Talking about the subject, OK. Talking about you, not OK.

    It's not a political discussion if people start talking about each other.

    Then it becomes an insult contest. Who can cut the other the deepest.

    I Ignore anybody who crosses that line, and those who post overt racism.

    And guess what?

    I STILL have plenty of people to talk to and they are not all liberal.

    So, here's the deal. Before the internet, the outcasts of society, the messed up minds with hatred in their hearts, the ones who want to blame others for their own inability to enjoy life, all of those people were marginalized.

    But with the internet and social media, all of those messed up minds have a way to get their message out.

    Whoopie do. So they are going to spread their grief and frustration far and wide.

    We don't have to listen.

    The best thing we can do is simply ignore all of that.

    Then they are just talking to themselves.

    So use the Ignore feature extensively, filter out all the garbage, and I think you will find some good people.

    Raise your standards and I believe you will find some very good discussions.

    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
