Shanks, you insult 90% of the posters in this forum with your bulletproof idiocy and your stupid comments every time you post. Don't come here acting like an innocent victim now... GTFO!

I'll never understand people's need to announce they are leaving as if anyone gives a rats ass. I think it was whottt who started this bullshit trend, or at least the one that popularized it. Honestly, just leave and be done with it...

Unfortunately, whottt eventually did that.

Saying this place is nothing more than a bunch of diehard libs is rude, imo

Saying they crap all over anyone that doesn't share their views is crude, imo.

Her hypocritical ass saying it at all is rofl.

[I'm leaving] threads have been around since the dawn of the first message board.

History scholars sometimes talk of the time Cosmic Caveman started one after getting his neanderthal butt hurt by Gronkdumper

I dont post here as much as of late because I don't really enjoy it as much and I've gotten much busier with school and research. Honestly, I don't really think its so much that the forum has changed but more that I have grown weary of politics and the general cynicism I feel towards most of the process and its implications on most of us. I think its healthier for me just to avoid it although Ill never be able to avoid it completely.

I dont want to juxtaposition my general dissatisfaction with politics on the posters here and I suspect thats at least part of what CC is doing.

You've driven away most of the conservative posters - so I guess you guys win and the political forum is just a place for libs to meet and talk.

I'm pretty sure that calling people rude, crude and disgusting isn't really elevating the conversation.

Don't worry Manny, you'll be back when the primaries are over. :D

I love this place and all you crazy ass posters. :toast

I know this is exactly the snark he is talking about, and I tried to resist posting this but it is too perfect.

:lol Drachen, ftw.

Starting mediocre threads and bumping your own Volt threads does not a good poster make...I think people make these "i'm done" threads to convince themselves that they should resist the temptation to post here....

Posters come, posers go...

Long story short, the last time I recall him posting regularly was when that Florida judge declared Obamacare unconstitutional. I told him back then none of that really mattered until the SCOTUS rules on it, and that would take a long time. He disagreed. I figured he'll come back once the SCOTUS makes their decision.

Crookshanks isn't the friendliest poster herself, it is true, but sometimes even I am taken aback by how hard other posters other posters strain to be personally insulting and vulgar to her, nearly every time she posts here.

clambake just called her sewage, MaNuMaNiAc called her impenetrably dumb...

and that's fairly tame for this board

That's what liberals do. Take over a place by making it so bad, conservatives move away.

NY... Are you listening?

Aww, did someone throw their teddy out of the pram?

She's a "true believer", and they don't discuss, they prosthelytize, and if that doesn't work, they chastise. People don't like that.

Bottom line is that reality bites, as one sees it. Discussion in an open minded forum is very healthy, IMHO. When one views another in a negative way simply because of their beliefs it is a fomula for disaster. CC has always made his point of view quite clear. His responses and threads reflect that quite clearly.
CC makes very solid points that do make one look in the mirror but that also opens him up to criticism and opinionated responses which is what forums are all about. Give and take is the norm.
