In the spirit of the OP, I am bumping this thread so fewer people will read it. Regards, Shodan ---

Perhaps, like Vladimir and Estragon waiting for the titular Godot, we are all here just waiting for that moment when Ignorance has been slain once and for all. But it will never come. In reality, the fight is eternal. So, take some comfort in the cadences and familiarity of the eternal. And fight on! ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I agree. While I generally disagree with Shodan in any debate involving political topics, I always feeling like I’m participating in a dialogue. Shodan is expressing his own opinions, understands what he’s saying, reads what other people say, and responses to other people. He’s miles ahead of some of the other conservative posters we’ve had here who don’t appear to understand their own posts and don’t read anyone else’s. I agree. And unlike so many right-wing loons that show up every so often, he posts in other fora - Cafe Society, and I believe IMHO. He’s not a one-trick pony who’s only interested in ranting or trolling the librulz. I’ve never found him objectionable; just wrong. ---

Hey OP, since you were gone for a while, have you stopped to think about how your user name went from cutting edge cool in 2001 to “ok boomer” in 2020? (Just trying to liven up this putting a little) ---
