Tenn, I miss you and your posts, as I did Pointedstick’s, Medium Tex and a few others. And mostly I agree with your analysis. However, this forum still has more “take the high road “ than almost all others I read even though it is tottering towards the cliff.tennpaga wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 1:28 pmI have been lurking this forum for a few months, thinking I might start posting again. I noticed PS began posting again, and was curious to see how it would turn out. Unfortunately, I agree with PS's assessment above. The assholes (you know who they are), plus the claims that non-libertarians should get the f*ck out illustrates what a sh!thole this place has become.Pointedstick wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 1:44 pm I can see now that this forum has become a microcosm of what's happened to the Republican party: the loudest voices are kooks and trolls, overwhelming the thoughtful and reasonable people. No wonder most of them seem to have left. There's nothing left for me here. Go ahead and trash the place. It's already ruined.
I no longer wish to be associated with this forum, past or present. I want all my posts to be deleted.
(Basically, you can't fight Gresham's law... see my signature.)
I have deleted 200 of my posts the last couple days. It is tedious, but worth the effort.
As a former moderator, I am aware that there is a tool called "Ban Hammer" which will ban a user PLUS delete all a users prior posts.
I am requesting that the forums moderators/admins please apply the Ban Hammer to me and my posts. Until then, I'll keep deleting.
I am also aware that there is at least one other member who feels similarly about his association with this place -- that is, he wishes all traces of his associations with GyroscopicInvesting be eliminated. I am posting this to let him know that Ban Hammer may meet his needs.
You know, I was going to find some posts by MediumTex that talked about people being friendly and courteous to each other, and how civility lubricates the conversation. But you know what? It isn't worth the effort. Because mostly, posters don't care.
Blessings and my very best wishes to you.
