That’s how you reduce Dave Rubin ? A gay Jew? That’s your takeaway ? What a douche canoe. You sound like a progressive.

He sounds like he ought to be taken with a grain of salt at the very least.

Look, many of us have been a round here a VERY long time. While we might not know each other in real life, we have gotten to know a bit about how we think about things here, right? It's pretty easy to get a feel for how most of us got not just to this overall forum, but this particular part of it. The overwhelming majority were either LSU sports fans, fans of other SEC teams that played LSU in something, OOC teams that players LSU, etc. On very rare occasions someone from outside of that group found this place. We also have a feel for the things which get talked about here, and the natural boundaries we've established based on the majority of active posters here. When someone goes way outside, it's obvious.

That's not the case any more, and we better come to grips with this fact. Over the past year, this place has been all over Twitter and Redditt I'm told. We've also seen a huge influx of posters that clearly showed up out of the blue because they saw it mentioned there. In some cases we literally saw people talk about coming here to either "break up the echo chamber" or to simply cause shite. And we now also should know that any place like this is on the radar of the feds...despite it's completely benign nature, the stuff we talk about and the point of view largely espoused is now considered by current US officials as more detrimental that militant Islamic terrorism. I'm actually STUNNED this place hasn't been shown on CNN or MSNBC yet...but there's no doubt it's coming.

So...my point here is, when some poster shows up out of now where and starts yapping at what can only be considered the very fringe of anything that is EVER said here, it might me a good idea to wonder where they came from, why they are here, and if the goal is one of those one I mentioned above. I'm not talking about just this poster in particular, but all brand new accounts that go 100% into taking over the board right out of the gate on either side of the aisle. When that happens, my antennae go up. Maybe these are just weak posters who create an alter...but maybe not.

Just a friendly PSA for this fine Sunday morning...
