This whole forum has become the Gaslight District.

1) Me not caring about what BFI thinks has nothing to do with their political leanings. It's because I don't know who they are or where they are, and I don't expect that I'll interact with them. I don't even know if your are summarizing their politics correctly.

2) None of this addresses your point that there are no conservative voices here, per my interpretation of your posts. Is that what you are claiming, and if not where I did start to assume your position wrongly?

Yes, yes that was not an obvious joke, as i wrote out most of the word to make it obvious but then tailed it off.

In fact i was terrified to say or even have anyone know i was suggesting it as the last thing i WOULD EVER do is say it, if i believed it. I have been cowed for some time into not doing that.

Such honesty and a lack of gaming in replies in this forum.

1) why do you put so much weight on 'you' because you are unaware of the history and think that should matter to me and my point? If you were making a point in an area, and could reference something from your personal dealings or history that was relevant but that i was unaware of, does that mean you should not make that point?

2) Never said or suggested that. Conservative voices can play along as long as they are compliant and avoid getting into the types of back and forth with the far left voices that will attack them with slurs if they dare to assert their positions. I know if i just made my point once and moved on, and then let the far left just bury it in smears, distortions and misinformation, all would be fine. But I do not, and so it is not.

Nothing is more common than that type of exchange where I am asserting the correct and/o factual position against one of our lefties intent in pushing the incorrect or wrong one, and when they do not relent, i will not either, and yet the forum partisans will point at me as the issue in that exchange. They simply do not SEE the person they are generally more aligned with, 'wrongs' as they are more sympathetic to that side of the argument.

GASLIGHTING ALERT!!!!!

I said I didn't care about BFI and you responded that of course I didn't as the left doesn't care what the right thinks. I explained that this wasn't the reason for me not caring. I suspect most of us here who don't care about BFI don't care for reasons unrelated to politics. We also don't care about RottenTomatoes, for example, but that too is not due to their political leanings.

You said we were an echo chamber. If their are conservative voices in this forum, then what type of echo chamber are we?

Hysterical that anyone could think that Victor, Lozen, Luckbox, chillrob, washoe and myself are all part of the "echo chamber."

you need to explain what point you are trying to get at, if any, as i legit cannot discern it?

I do not care if you think there is info that you want to share with the forum that you think is illuminating, that i might not understand why you think so, or why you want to share it. I am not your boss. I don't need you to convince me anythings relevance. I would never dain to think you owed me any explanation for why you choose to post it.

Despite that I have explained over and over why I THINK it is enormously relevant, as i know many posters here do understand the reference.

To you last point, i will deliberately answer your question with a question since it, imo, is the best way to answer that question. Trump's Truth Social, has people who hate Trump who, while a minority post on that forum, to break up and challenge the Trump echo box, that is that forum. Would you agree with that?


If your answer to that is, 'no by virtue of even one contrary voice being signed up there it is not an echo box, then we can only agree to disagree. As I think no echo box, typically are 100% free of contrary voices and you are trying to define in a strict way that would end defining that there are no such thing as echo boxes.

If we go by post count, then the Lefties are a significant minority in this Forum.

I literally have no idea what QP is talking about this place being an "echo chamber."

I think the reason only Cuepee thinks this forum is an echo chamber is uniquely do to Cuepee. Lots of people across the political spectrum all criticize him and criticize him for the same reasons. It isn't about politics. It is criticisms of the accusations of lying, the misrepresenting points, the weird carlin memes and BFI references, etc. So from Cuepee's perspective it feels like everyone is ganging up on him. But those people are pretty disparate politically. I have nothing in common politically with lagtight, but we both agree you shouldn't flippantly accuse people of lying.

The people in the BFI felt similarly.

Funnily enough, i have seen quoted posts on Twitter of people engaging with people in Truth Social and calling it an echo chamber and those who post there taking great offense.


Check. same reasoning in BFI and same on Truth Social.


Check 2 (but change to relevant forum or place)

Check, check, check 3 times.

The same type of BFI and Truth Social should never be called an echo box, based on the "I have a black friend' type reasoning.


I've never seen it fly for those who claim '...but i do have a black friend', but i suspect it will fly with many here.... and i am pretty certain I know why.

The funny part is that I agree with Cuepee on the issues far more often that I agree with you. And yet somehow you and I don't seem to have a problem having a conversation.

I have no idea why you are bizarrely talking about the BFI again - this is just weird - and have no way to validate any of the claims you make, but if everyone over here AND everyone over there is giving you the same non-political critiques of your posting, perhaps you should......listen?
