My name is Rob (or Robby) and I'm a history buff and political nerd, who has been a freelance political writer for the last 6 and a half years, contributing to various online publications. I hope to engage with everyone (in a respectful manner) and be able to discuss and debate the news of the day (and of yesteryear)![]()
You can hope to engage everyone in a respectful manner, but don't expect the same to come back at you. I must have at least 100 people on my ignore list.
Welcome.
Though, debating doesn't happen much here either.
I'm having a "debate" with a guy who claims to be a lawyer and a guy who goes to law schools and talks about the Second Amendment, and he couldn't debate if it killed him. Deflection, insults, and a few other tactics are all I've seen from him for days, and that's the norm.
You are correct. There used to be a lot more debate. Now it's just name calling. Hopefully we get back to debating VERY soon.
