Opinion of opebo

[Brittain33]

I apologize to Opebo, and wish to clarify that his posts occasionally have some relevance, and aren't as mindlessly doctrinaire as this of Torie.

This is so weird.

Ok, I have a concern about opebo.

I wish that fewer topical threads that he posted on, stopped being about the topic at hand and turned into repartee with him about his worldview and "the bad place." Not every discussion has to be about why the U.S. should do things completely different to help the poors, and why that's a bad way to think. Maybe start a "philosophy of opebo" thread. The Wisconsin unions thread is the latest example.

Britt!  In that thread I'm protesting against Torie's world-view, which I find offensive.  My posts in that thread have nothing to do with my world view or the Bad Place specifically.

Yeah, but in the end neither of you are talking about Wisconsin or even public sector unions in general, but about riches and poors and blue sky changes to the tax code and people's classes. I feel like that same particular discussion appears on threads and crowds out the specific issues at stake. Maybe you feel the bigger issues are all that matters, I don't know. I confess to not fully accepting you as a real person here. I don't think you're lying; it doesn't even matter. You're speaking from a different plane that is no better or worse than mine, but not aligned most of the time.

Maybe this is how everyone here appears to Mike Naso.

Og that thread was depressing.

I think I was more content not knowing of that original post's existence. I didn't even want to read the rest of the thread.
