So... Let them talk if they wish so. I wouldn't care less. People with questions will ask, people with and without knowledge or ability to answer will
answer. It's a responsibility of the asking person to separate the wheat from the chaff. |
I reluctantly have to agree with this - that it's ultimately up to the original poster to either have the laser focus to keep the discussion on track,
or to abandon the thread to the inevitable hijack. It seems part of the board's charm that it largely allows such detours, and it often requires a
significant degree of tenacity to see a question through to an informative answer.

thank you Dali Dali for so eloquently illustrating my point.
It's clear your definition of a Radical is anyone who is not a right wing trumpty dumpty,
. So your definition of a radical is one who has liberal views on immigration, views LGBT individuals as people , believes people are individuals
and should be treated as such, instead of classified and reacted to based on their skin color, doesn't like voter supression or colluding with
foreign countries to influence US elections.
we used to call those people patriots,
and the russia lovers were communist, white supremacists were N-zi sympathizers. when did that become "conservative"
but I guess you can label em anyway you want , comrade!

sport fish, brown skinned hater, legless "grifter", immigrant hater, fan of some dude named Alex Jones, fan of this hate site or that hate site....
and a jackbooted thug.....it's very likely a radical doing the key banging.
Radicals, as such, thrive off of how much controversy they can stir up.....in an attempt to upset the balance of how you think, what you think and why
you think it.
And dare you disagree with a radical, or even ask them to explain it all.....you're a gawd damn denier.
And as 4x4abc mentioned, rather than change minds, it only makes people dig in their heels deeper and deeper....out of defiance to being dissed by
this constant rage filled radical.

Opinions are natural. Whatever. For me personally, the issue comes up when someone starts a thread about let's say.....crossing at Tecate with a
Female Elephant on a flatbed trailer with expired tags during Semana Santa. Well, I too would like to transport my Elephant (we'll call her Margaret)
in my buddy's trailer. So I want to peruse the thread and as I scroll down and click from page to page, all I see is an argument between usually 2-3
of the same characters about some long standing, insane and pathetic resentment. Over.and.Over.and.Over. Weeding though all of that to find relevant
responses becomes a trying experience and most of the time the original OP has long since vanished in frustration.
That right there is what sucks.
And I still don't know what to do with Margaret.

I wish Margaret and her kin, and all the donkeys would just stay in the US, and not continually infiltrate Baja.
I also hope that as I get older, I don't have the need to continually prove other people wrong.
I agree, Beagle.

That is it, Margaret and the Donkeys are cause of global warming with their flatulating! Science solved.
