Oh how soon we forget........

"Hunting Quayle" ring any bells?

And what exactly is a "wonk"anyway

That's when everything you think you know is backwards.

If you were expecting a tell-all introduction, sorry. I'm going to tell you only a couple of things about myself. First, I'm a political junkie who likes to follow and talk about issues. Second, I don't believe in liberalism, conservatism, libertarianism or authoritarianism: I believe only in what makes the most sense in a particular context. Sometimes it's one of these four, sometimes it's a combination, and sometimes it's none.

I don't mean to be secretive or rude. I just believe that who I am is totally irrelevant when it comes to discussing a political issue - as it should be. Nor do I think there's anything at all wrong with socializing online. It's just not what I come to a political forum to do. The other stuff I save for places like Facebook. By the way, that's also why I never use rep systems on boards. So please don't be offended if you rep me and I don't return the favor.

Finally, here's my pledge to all of you. I will not insult or otherwise talk smack about anyone other than a public figure (they're fair game). If you want to debate a point with me in a civil, respectful way, I will be thrilled to reciprocate. On the other hand, if you're yet another loudmouth who hopes to get someone else into your flame wars, I will simply put you on my ignore list.

I hope I can find at least a few other folks around here in the first category.

WOW!!! This dweeb has more rules than Gunny!

Welcome to both you and your pocket protector.

Not sure but I know what a Donk is.

 

[masquerade]

You kinda remind me of another poster named Anachronism.

He; "I had my sense of humor surgically removed."

Life is meant to be enjoyed, as long as you're having fun, don't worry about what the others think.

Ringle is just here for the attention. I think we can work out our problems together and the USMB is a good a place to start as any.

please excuse my near constant humor.

He is? I thought he was here to tease and please me with posts of sexual innuendos!

 

[editec]

Good!

We need more WONKs here.

Reality based POVs are always welcomed.

Hopefully your POV will be different enough that you'll be bringing us facts and logical arguments that hadn't occured to the rest of us.

We need far more REALITY TESTING posts and far less FAITH BASED opinions to consider.

Thanks. I've come to learn in my years of following politics that some things the conservatives want make sense, some things the liberals want make sense, and there are plenty of things across the spectrum that make no sense at all.

Hopefully I can converse with those who share my interest in separating the wheat from the chaff.

Good.

But a sense of humor is ALSO one of the hallmarks of the real intellect.

Your head will blow up if you can't laugh at things that are beyond your ability to change, amigo.

Ah, also, mercy for those lacking the ability to see what you can see is still another characteristic of the true intellectual.

Noen of us know anything until we learn it, so a little kindness toward those who as yet don't know what you know will go far, I think.

Just a suggestion, of course, Wonk, we all must find our own modus vivendi with our fellow men.

 

[Wonky Pundit]

True. I've often tried online humor, but unfortunately my jokes either sail right past most people or just fall flat. Don't worry; most of the time I'm laughing on the inside.

It's very important to me that I be civil and respectful to those who do the same.

At any rate, your points are well taken.

Mine do that on occasion too. Sometimes for long occasions....

Glad you weren't disappointed in the answer, then.

 

[Ernie S.]

"I don't believe in liberalism, conservatism, libertarianism or authoritarianism..."

Well, this is just your first day...

Oh, I believe they all exist. I'm just not some sheep who swallows any one of them whole.

In other words you have a problem with commitment.

I don't see much value in committing to something that doesn't make sense if a better idea comes along.

tl:dr

 

[percysunshine]

Four pages of 'introduce yourself' is probably a usmessageboard record.
