The point of this thread isn't global warming; the point is that not EVERY goddamned thread needs to be about global warming. It has ruined this place. But you don't give a shit about that, do ya?

Let's expand the metaphor here to cover the whole country.
Discussions have not ruined this place or this country.

There are people who do not discuss well (see: Fox News commentators).
So change the channel.
You can get your information from people like Bill Moyers. He has never wasted his breath debating Sean Hannity. By choice.

I like active give-and-take of ideas that comprise a good nourishing conversation. There are many good wonderful minds here. You merely need find them, and engage them.

But it's so noisy.

Analogy time: I don't believe in God with a capital G. I could be really disruptive and get a lot of attention here @ IAC if I were to go off on an anti-religion diatribe every single time someone said "Oh Gosh" or "My Lord" or "Heavens to Mergatroid" or "Merry Christmas."

I bet I'd end up on people's Ignore lists.

You're right. You could be disruptive. But you choose not to be. There are many here who like you a lot because you are passionate and grounded.

I could be . . . rude. Thank God I'm not.

Drooling in a corner, mumbling to myself.

My right big toe nail is far more important. I just cut it with a metal saw blade to make it back to quite normal.

Dig the Trudell quote. Sums it up succinctly.
