Not that long ago, when the political environment was different, you posted just as often as you do now, defending the Bushbaby, or just randomly initiating brawls when nothing else was going on, just as you do now. Don't insult our intelligence by claiming you're just defending yourself, you come here looking for trouble because you need to justify the hate you've been cultivating for anyone who won't accept your drivel uncritically.

You have no one to blame but yourself for political division here, as do conservatives in general for the poisonous and divisive atmosphere of the society as a whole. I'm not talking about the normal give and take of political debate which has always existed and always should, but the unceasing deliberate agitation designed specifically to drive out everyone and everything else and to focus the dialogue on what you have decided really matters: the fact that the world is changing, not due to a communist conspiracy, but simply because it's long overdue. Don't play the poor aggrieved injured party with us, you know exactly what you are doing and why, and you know we know.

This board, like any other free public communications facility, should be shared by all and its diversity should be encouraged. By diversity, I don't mean the usual touchy-feely liberal crap, but a place where information can be shared and examined on a variety of topics including, but not limited to, politics. Restricting the conversation to partisan issues, even if it is split evenly across the spectrum, is as wrong and stupid as limiting it to crop circles, or sailing, or kittens, or "relationships". There are places where people like you can go talk to each other, or where you can find others willing to fight you. Don't turn this place into one of them.

You've screwed this board up, TB, because you're selfish and because you need constant reassurance that your private phobias are actually of public concern.
