I can take whatever you got, toots.
The tone of this board has gone from interesting, meaningful discussion to bleating out Trumpisms and refusal to engage.
Hate his style, hate his message, but at least Prowler is still trying to talk. Disagree? Try countering his argument.
This forum exists on a bit of a different plane, since the topics are ostensibly serious and we expect more of each other here. Lately it's an open-armed acceptance of anti-intellectualism and an embrace of all things anti-fact.
Again, I think the recipe treatment is the last refuge against a troll for a board that bans so seldom.
You've lost your GOT damm mind.
The only thing anti-intellectual around here are the burbling shit posting from a panty-wadded Prowler and your inexplicable rush to his indefensible defense.
He has NO FUCKING ARGUMENT, wes. Not a cogent one at least. Carpet bombing nuisance links from luna-fringe sites is not an argument. It's not a position. It's not a stance.
Neither is bellowing asinine anti-Trump rhetoric.
That's 999.49873% of everything he posts.
"bleating out Trumpisms?" "Embracing anti-fact."
Poppyrot. That's left wing elitism oozing from your every pore. THAT comment, wes, is why there is no middle ground here. Nearly eight months in and you're still carrying the Hillary torch. It's not me. It's not even Prowler. Smell your own on this one.
We can't have a meaningful discussion because some people are so blatantly anti-Trump that they cannot craft a rational argument. And then there's an somebody throwing linky poo on top of that.
You talk about "expecting more" out of each other. That's condescending in its own way. I don't like your sanctimonious "do betters" when things aren't the way you think they should be. But I tolerate it. That's who you are. You tolerate (or did) my rants because that's who I am. Bark a little, make some snide comments, curse a bit and then laugh about it.
I like to sling insults occasionally because that's my nature. But they're not "serious." Hell Prowler and I have had off-site discussions about this. WE know who we are and what we're doing. Neither of us is mad at the other, there's no hard feelings. He thinks I'm wronger than fuck. I feel the same about him. End of story. End of the day, I'd still take a bullet for him because he's an Auburn guy. He may act like one of them occasionally, but he's ours.
I'm sick of having discussions about the discussions. We're going to start losing people if this doesn't stop. And I'm not talking about me or about Prowler.
