I don't know, it's like there are so many toxic places where you can go troll conspiracy truthers and homophobic creationists. A place where grownups who follow politics can have a semi-adult convo about the day's news is a rare and interesting thing. I'm not sure there's a way to ever really get that back, it's a shame.

It seems you want to inhabit a forum where the posters fit within your specific Overton window, so you might need to start one.

(Moved that from the post you replied to, as I added it as an edit after you quoted. How prescient...)

What's stopping UP being that? That's a rhetorical question by the way, it's pretty obvious - when the group has no common enemy, it splits into factions that turn on one another. You're fighting against human nature, bro.

I mean, there's a fair amount of infighting, but yeah, seems fine to me. I thought you were lamenting that there was nothing like you described for you on the internet. How many places do you need then?

Also, I mean, your nick is "Trolly McTrollson" and the vast majority of your posts are one-liners either making wisecracks or trolling other posters, not that there is anything wrong with that; but I don't think you're really in a position to take much of a high ground here. It's not like you take the effort to type out well thought-through essays like, say, TeflonDawg.

I meant me...I would argue for both of them. I can see how that was unclear though. Teflon was saying how me defending Kelhus says something about me and that's fine. I hope it does. But I'd defend Victor just as hard.

What other places are you thinking of here? I might check them out.

I'd say this place isn't anywhere near as bad as some would have us believe, despite the unbanning of all those terrible posters you listed.
