To tell us all that this message board is filled with groupthink. You must have missed it. 
Hehehe. You said blow.
Eh, once you get to know the threadshitters, you can just stop posting once they come into the thread.
That’s different from groupthink. It’s just a gang of idiots who puts up a wall of noise.
Just ask, and you could probably get a list of names.
Wow - “extremely independent with some libertarian, liberal and conservative leanings”. Hot damn, that is independent-minded! Still, points off for not having fascist/Communist/theocratic/meritocratic/royalist leanings, though.
Er… so why not stay and try and change it? I’d agree with you to some extent, but simply saying it as a lurker with no reputation isn’t going to help matters at all.
No, “everyone” does not. People who enjoy conflict tend to frequent certain types of threads; those who don’t participate in other ways.
Is this a whoosh? We are really losing this wonderful, insightful poster because of her opinions on short shorts and ideas about how to get good layaway at Macy’s were not well received?
WHAT?
Heh heh heh…you said ‘good lay’ 
This one, for example.
“Help! Help! I’m being repressed!”
“…offering you the musical hits of the Great Repression, like ‘Buddy, Can You Paradigm?’, and so many others! Not available in stores, operators standing by…”
What’s a “GD”?
Great Debates, where those who enjoy a good political argument without insults hang out. Those who enjoy a good political argument with insults hang out here.
Haven’t you been dragged out and shot yet?
How come people who are leaving so often make a generalization about how the rest of us think/are/write, but never give specific examples of what they’re complaining about? Or even name it?
Is it bush-bashing you’re referring to? What?

Hey, hate and intolerance got Genghis Khan most of Central Asia! So there! 
Vanity, probably. Many people suffer under the delusion that the rest of the world actually gives a shit about their opinion. Too much unearned self esteem is a bad thing. Elen can consider our responses as part of his/her self actualization. See, Elen, we aren’t hateful and intolerant, we mock you because we care!
Listen up Sugartits, what you need is balls. This board is all about people with certain attitudes to be defended or promoted with gusto and sound reasoning. We do have respected posters who way more often than not promote ideas that don’t fit with popular opinion like Sam Stone, Bricker, Shodan and Valteron to name a few. They do get a lot of attention and if the general population of this board aren’t buying their ideas and facts at least these brave posters have an opportunity to be heard and make a difference. If you can’t stand the heat, you better get back to the kitchen.
Did I miss something?
Who wears short-shorts?
Who would dare wear short-shorts?
Personally, I think that the majority of wrong thinking people are sick and tired of being told that they’re right!
