What happened to this forum?

[Sam Spade]

Everything ebbs and flows with the passage of time.  Much like this board. 

Sure, I have negative things to say about the way things are from time to time, but that passes, and well, you can spot the hacks a mile away and toy with them at your will.

The one advantage to this board over many, many others is that in general the hacks don't run the forum and certainly don't moderate the forum for the most part (as much as they want to).

One other thing:  "Traditionalism" or whatever you defined there will come back into style soon enough, bullmoose.  Probably sooner than you want it to, especially if the economy doesn't fare so well.  Everything that is old becomes new again, eventually.  That is the lesson of life...

1. You have a lot of idiots who really don't understand much about politics and even less about policy.

2. Lots of people here who like to broad brush people using religion and ideology. Most fit into the above category of idiots.

I like your sig, theocrat.

Are you kidding? Trolls run the forum because no one stands up to them and they're allowed to bully people unchecked.

Well, it doesn't happen in my forum.  I'm sorry that I can't have some influence in some of the less moderated areas of the forum, but I can't (nor do I wish to) control that.  Call me an optimist about the moderators, but it's because I work with them.

The forum used to be more balanced but now is leaning heavily left. Right leaning persons are leaving and fewer right leaning persons are willing to join, which only further moves the forum left.

Now I feel bad. Maybe I should pretend to become a super-capitalist to restore some balance.

Maybe on April Fools Day we can have everyone have pretend to have the opposite ideology.

Actually, that's starting to change recently, and I suspect it will continue now that the election is in full swing.  Moreover, since the young people's candidate, Obama, is getting sent back down to the plantation by Hillary, these people may become less and less enthused.
