They are just liars and propagandists.
I'm disappointed. I thought you were going to say "dude, I just ten minutes ago escaped from a Levon Logic Trap by telling him you had given up on posting stuff about politics."
Lmao WHAT?
Oh wait I think I know what you are referencing and you've misunderstood me. I meant Big has given up trying to talk normally to the left opposition we have here.
Not like.....given up talking about political things. He just stopped trying to have serious discussions with resident leftists. Its always hostile, so now he just insults them.
I'm not able to recall a single time in the past 15 years where Stubby has ever tried to talk normally about politics, regardless of who constituted the "left opposition." I've seen him talk "normally" when he finds himself in a rightwing echo chamber. I've seen his selection of political RSS feeds. It's obvious from the political ideas he espouses that he gets most of him from sources I consider dubious and wacky, even though there are clearly rightwing sources I can and do read myself BECAUSE I'M USUALLY LOOKING FOR COMMON GROUND the way real American patriots used to do.
So my take on Stubs is, he's simply not comfortable in a real political conversation because he lacks the depth to mount a cogent argument, so he defaults to flame and insults and threadjacks since he has those reflexes. I'm not saying that makes him unique tho, because there are always gonna be people on the other side just as dysfunctional as he is on his side.
This is a problem to a forum administrator like BF, who could care less about politics, cause there's no way he's got the time or inclination to try and manage that kinda chaotic mess and sculpt it into an actual discussion subforum. As I said the other day, I've only seen it happen once.
As a side note, Dove dear, I wanna mention that whenever I find myself starting to tell someone "you misunderstood me" I try to stop first and ask myself, "did I not communicate clearly, and is this misunderstanding on me or is it on them?" Cause if it's on me, and sometimes it is, it won't help if I tell them it's on them.
