Using your "ignore" feature, K9Buck, you can remove people you consider worthless. After a while, you will have created your own idyllic universe that will not bring you any grief.Most want to win an argument rather than expand understanding. Most want to persuade, but are unwilling to be persuaded. Most of the content on this forum isn't worth reading, let alone responding. Fortunately, there are some very good posters that give smart analysis and insights. It would be nice if there was a sub-forum on a ''by invite'' only and made up of the best posters.
That is interesting. Perhaps the forum, "Clean Debate Forum" is to your liking but without the invites. Invitation would be and interesting compliment to the Clean Debate Forum.Most want to win an argument rather than expand understanding. Most want to persuade, but are unwilling to be persuaded.

Most people are not interested in having a discussion and seeking common ground. It’s much easier to make a point,dig ones heels in, and just aim the flamethrower...

I've found the same to be true on every forum I've ever seen. Most folks are completely closed-minded. A handful offer interesting conversation. There are really very few people using these forums; it's probably a lot of the same people everywhere.
That's because in the case of being a conservative, the warts really are off topic, which is against the board's rules when beaten into the dead horse's flesh. The only people excited about your candidate's warts are also his enemies. So you can spend your spare time defending warts or keep your eye on the ball. It's really quite simple, and ignoring insults takes away a politics forum going into dog-eat-dog mania. And, there's even a little reminder emoticon of the situation:Most people are not interested in having a discussion and seeking common ground.

Yea, many like to engage in hit-and-run quips and are unwilling to honestly discuss an issue(s). Too many here are hardcore critical of another's favorite candidate or official but are unwilling to acknowledge their own candidate's warts.
Perhaps I prefer not to invite a troll to come along for to put words in me mouth, laddie.Using your "ignore" feature, K9Buck, you can remove people you consider worthless. After a while, you will have created your own idyllic universe that will not bring you any grief.
A little more humility and honesty would be refreshing. That's all I'm suggesting. Perhaps you disagree.

I decided upon My2¢ as my account name because I don't see message boards as a place to try to be influential. Haven't experience arguments, I don't feel need to get in last word. May respond if questioned, and am still learning to avoid that when somebody's misrepresenting my point.
