Much better put than what I said.

Our resident barrister is very well spoken.

I've seen very little childish behavior here, some, yes, but it is the exception not the norm, and tends to be very partisan.

I'm pointing out what I see and reasons for it.

There is only a dozen regulars because you all act like kids. Spoiled kids playing in your fort. Do you really think anybody else want to play with you?

This site will never grow, it's more intellectual on a Yahoo board. And thats not saying much for what's here.

So what passes for "intellectual" in your world? Hordes of teabaggers piling on anyone they disagree with? Yeah, I've been to that site too.

As to not biting, that's about the only way to get a response around here. Make a reasoned and well thought out post and you will be underwhelmed by the number of responses.

So it seems, a number of my postings seem to be thread-stoppers.

Beating each other to a bloody pulp, yes, but not withdrawing Anyone remember RuSsMan on AK? He said to be online you need elephant hide.

In all honesty I admit having a serious problem with one member's support of a certain Arizona sheriff for very personal reasons, I dunno if I can get past it to have a collegial relationship with him.

It's kind of the way people are. No one stays up all night pounding the keyboard because someone is right on the internet....
