> [@Bricker](#): > > So, not that I expect this clear and unambiguous statement to sway many partisans… but I left because of precisely the factors suggested by Heffalump. I believe you and I’m pretty far left. I’ve said it before, if I was a conservative on this board I wouldn’t tell anyone. What a lot of posters didn’t get, or didn’t like, about @Bricker was that he wanted to talk about legalities. He didn’t care what your opinion of a law should be, he cared about what the law was. Since some posters, not all, didn’t want to discuss things on that level and **Bricker** didn’t want to participate in side arguments, some people just got pissed at him. Just like some posters now get pissed at conservatives because they can’t convince them to change their minds on a topic. I thanked God when politics was split off from GD, and I thanked Him again when Discourse gave us the option to hide entire forums. I don’t think I ever agreed with **Bricker** on anything, I don’t think I ever talked to him at all. But I do vehemently disagree with him on one thing: _Friends_ was not the greatest sitcom on television. The correct answer is _Cheers_. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-common-reason-to-be-pitted-appears-to-be-dishonesty/946422)._
