I think there is just an ebb and flow to all things in life including PoliticalChat.
Personally, I’ve just been tired of hearing about Trump. I’m burned out on daily scandals.
And, I’ve just been busy lately as I’ve recovered from surgery and are enjoying retirement.

Glad to hear those last bits--carry on!

Whell expressed his opinion, as was his right. Whether or not I agree or disagree with him is of no consequence. The persistent personal attacks and name calling are what I complain about, and have complained about from the start.
The nastiness does not, in my opinion, contribute to the conversation in any meaningful way. I will go so far as to say that it has lead to a lot of good people taking a look around here and deciding they want no part of PC.
So, yeah. You've got it right.
Thanks for asking.

Whell did not simply 'state his opinion,' as no one disputes would have been his right. He operated as an aggressive and purposefully-obnoxious troll. For some reason you are unable to discern this, or unable to regard it as important.
In any case, based on your report of how you and others disliked the fights with whell, which I completely believe, my conclusion is that because whell deliberately provoked and fomented the response he got, he basically wrecked this forum.

We will have to agree to disagree.

Which you and I can do, with no need to be disagreeable.
Thing is, this works in some cases, and doesn't in others. That is, some 'good people' are more agreeable than others.

The thing is I see some of the worst offenders are able to maintain a sense of propriety on the AK site.
Why can't the same courtesy be extended here?

Like I said, venting, for catharsis.
I just don't talk to most folks in person about the Trump thing, and have let some former freindships laps into limbo to avoid hostile confrontations.
Some insight into viewpoint, ideals, and goals could give perspective and hopefully, some understanding.
However, it's difficult to get around the impression that putting a vainglorious incompetent vengeful disenguous toxic narcissist in charge of the fate of the Republic to spite "liberals" was *not* in the best interests of the country at large. Spite, and Judges.

Responding to Post #73: AudioKarma Specific Rule #5:
5. No political, religious, racist, sexist, pornographic or excessively profane content.
Any thoughts on why this rule is enforced on AK?
