I usually take the adversarial approach in threads. I don't start many, and I don't find it necessary to tell people that I agree with all or most of what they say. This may be a character flaw. I'm generally unsupportive. I have few illusions about this.
If you knew me personally you would probably take it as a compliment that I chose to interact with you at all. I much prefer books to people, with perhaps one or two exceptions.

I probably have. Although probably not intentionally.
Usually I attempt to reserve real fire for those who smell like trolls. Or worse than trolls.
If you read the fire pit, you'll discover that I am, er, disproportionately represented there. Of course, you'd also find that I am never the one who gets banned right before the thread gets locked.
(Although the guidelines for acceptable discourse have shifted somewhat over the years, which has made me more wary of actively inflaming threads to smoke out trolls and provocateurs)

Literally breaking news, Elon Musk and the CEO of Uber are now in Trumps close inner circle of advisers. Kanye West is also being considered for a possible administration roll, coming on
the heels of the CEO of WWE Wrestling, Exxon, Pepsi and Carls Jr being tapped for White House rolls.
We're witnessing the Idiocracy meta-reality twilight zone happening...and its glorious. What better way to get back at America for centuries of slavery, genocide, war, and evil than having a reality tv star baby
now the most leader of America and the most powerful person in the world? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the ... 1a73846db5
As a progressive who hated the polite side stepping against calling Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Mccain, Clinton and Obama war criminals...the grotesque rude era of Trump diarrhea shitting all over political norms
is amazing

There should be Vegas bets on what bizarre as-til-now-unthinkable beyond 9/11 like attrocity will be conjured up and hand delivered during Trump's first or second term in order to
turn President Ronnie(I mean Donnie) into the cartoonish bad guy liberals like myself assume him to be. And! What casus beli currency will such an attack, or series of (Im guessing Islamic jihadi, orchestrated by the Saudis)
attacks will that afford President Trump? Remember, just a few days ago uber neocon John Bolton was on Fox calling Russia hacking of the US election talk a "false flag conspiracy", and Trump is advised by the Breitbat and Alex Jones conspiracy brigade. What a magically weird era we're goosestepping toward. And people were worried politics would be boring

If Bernie Sanders HADNT BEEN CHEATED BY HILLARY AND THE DNC and won the General Presidential Election, everyone would be calling for jihad holy war if the right wing
started rioting in the street, calling for recounts, threatening electoral college electors to change their vote, etc.
I came up with a new guide for modern living....if anything bad happens in your life, it's either cuz Mercury is In Retrograde...or the Russians are behind it!:)
Keith Olbermann has 676,000 followers. (File under: Stories That Should Be In The Onion.)
Keith should stick to sports. Or barking at 2006 era Dubya. He's self parody at this point

Like if you had one for the "Russia" / Electoral College / vote count disputations stuff, you'd end up with an archive to access for later, something valuable to you and everyone else, maybe even years later. (This is also true of many of AD's copy-paste threads; they're at least archives on particular identifiable subjects.) Instead you have a total mish-mash. Anyway, just a friendly suggestion.
I politely concur on all points.
And send a hug...
