Yes there are people I like here but I keep getting side tracked by all the bizarre 'right wing' stuff that goes on here and I can't just skip past it.
I say 'bizarre' because I don't think it's so much right wing but more sociopathic: a few individuals who are constantly on the attack, starting off threads having a go at people for being empathic, concerned ..."hand-wringing" if you like. People who are obsessed with punishment and hatred.
Then when they are called to question, they come up with the same old boloney about people not liking it because it opposes their opinions.
Then again, this is (hopefully) just one side to them and I imagine IRL most if not all of them a pretty decent folk I could get on perfectly well with.
There are a handful of people who always seem to get it right afaic and I'm talking logic not politics - I love hearing them posting responses that are far calmer, more astute and much better than most responses I make.
I really need to try not to get sucked in, I don't consider myself to be a regular. I've seen what happens to people when they decide to reside on an internet forum and most of it I don't like. That's why I tend to post in 'bouts' then disappear for a long time. I don't want to get to 'regular' status.
I know one poster here IRL.
