Maybe you're here for the camaraderie? I get that in my actual life.

Things brings up a good question..... Not directed specifically to Ike.... But why do any of us come here?

Different reasons for different people.... Sure...... But..... Do these conversations add value in our every day life or is coming here more of an escape?

Just curious. Social media is a whole new sociological venue I enjoy exploring and understanding.

We've been here a million times before, Ike. I and anyone else here as a perfect right to comment on any post here. This is an open forum and all posts are for all to read and respond to. If you don't like it, I suggest you confine your "bloody diarrhea" to PMs.

Or you could just continue to whine about it. That seems to be more your metier.

Ah, thank-you. We will let you praise our style in the future!

We know why you're here because you've told us. You're here to indulge your inner asshole (anal fixation) so that people you interact with in "real Life" will be able to tolerate your presence.

It's all real life, of course. What you do here counts, Ike.

Just curious. Social media is a whole new sociological venue I enjoy exploring and understanding.
I am retired and I am an indoor person. From a young age I was interested in politics especially international politics. I find being here an enjoyable way of passing some of my indoor time.

This is a political forum and thus I expect some rough and tumble in the discourse.

I believe the argument here adds value. There are in general very knowledgeable, interesting people here, some very passionate (Ike) and some with very unique perspectives (Zeke).

I expect some rough and tumble in the discourse as well. Admittedly, I am sometimes inclined to poke a stick at the wasp nest to see what kind of fury results..... But for the most part, I just like the aspect of learning more.

The sociologist in me like to consider the dynamics of the interaction.

It is social interaction and so enjoyable in itself. And i do find out new stuff and learn from others, and I get new ideas in the process of responding to people and writing out what I think.

Further, there's something in me that wants to humiliate rival males and steal their women, but that never seems to work out right....
