It’s kind of puzzling to me. As extreme and hyperbolic as you are wrt the Trump so-called administration and it’s consequences, you remain quite naively passive about its enablers. ---

I didn’t say he was my favorite poster, but there are more annoying and trollish posters than HD. I don’t read all of his posts either, so maybe I’m missing something. In any event, I think I made it clear that I didn’t particularly care for his latest contribution on the El Paso thread (or latest at that time). Not sure what’s naive and passive about that. ---

Not saying there are no Mormon assholes but it doesn’t seem to be the norm. I suspect that most any group is mostly made up of decent people (except Illinois Nazis), particularly if you interact with them on an individual level. Base on six decades of interacting with people, most of whom aren’t assholes. ---
