Always amusing that any factual reporting that goes against their own obvious biases is "biased". F'ing fools.

NI joined May 29 followed by TryToFindmid on June 14. Turns out you're also wrong regarding FordGT90. Care to guess again?

Thanks, I though your researches would be more current in your mind. Forget the whole thing, chalk it up to paranoia.

If not then why are you here? To preach to the choir?

Still not seeing much in the way of that last word.

You know, I do find your last post to be something almost verging on rude, in a passive yet aggressive sort of way. Surely free gentlefolk should be free to engage, or not engage, totally of their own volition, without having to defend their choice, or be put upon by peevish questions that actually suggest their actions are failing to meet some standard or other. Astonishingly, you even have the brass to affirm that such standard would include an expectation of entertainment on your part. I of course realize that you are actually joshing us on this point, as I'm sure you are in fact vastly entertained by your own acts of creation of your small but elegant prose parcels, and your subsequent auto-appreciation of them. It but remains for me to note in conclusion that false geniality and perfunctory politese are no substitute for sincere honest good will, and only by undergoing an unlikely epiphany of empathy can you hope to win the engagement of others in the sort of respectful and sincere discussion you indicate that you crave.

I stated an observation. I expected spirited debate based on merit of the issue at hand but instead, I find attacks on my person in over three-quarters of the replies to my posts. I ignore them because I refuse to stoop to that level but it still leaves me feeling disappointed.
If you want to take my observation as "rude," I couldn't careless; however, most words are said for a reason. If you're wondering why this forum is mostly dead, sincerely consider them. The truth often hurts.
On that note, I think I'll bid this "forum" adieu. It's not me, it's the unwillingness of most of the members here to discuss.

Or, put in another way: Fuck off, you self-delusional, psychopathic Trumpkin! You're arguing for a man who would destroy our democracy for his own gain. You have no sense. Good riddance!
