To be fair, this change pervades all online political discourse, so it's broader than just the poli board. More areas of life are subsumed by politics, more tribal epistemology, fewer shared sources of trusted info, etc.

he tried to deny it to me the other day. odd since he spent 20 years talking about it as well as his social awkwardness.

Rex and Tuba


Tuba was so relentlessly the same seemed a troll or now a bot.

Fought with Rex a lot but at least I believed what he said he believed.

I'm am neither
and you still wont answer a simple, direct question from me.
because you fear you answer exposes your hypocracy

Libs/Progs don't like that people are noticing their results don't come anywhere close to matching their promises

HailHailtoMichigan!: This guy’s a standout for scorn. Active in 2024, he’s a left-leaning needler—think “Why is this board so intolerant?” (undated, likely 2023-2024)—where he whines about PT’s hostility to “left of center” views. Replies shred him: “Leftist trolls post here, not worth engaging” and “Facts don’t matter here” (self-owning the board’s vibe). His sanctimonious tone—“familiarity breeds contempt”—tanks him with the MAGA base. X’s @BayouBlogger (Jan 15, 2025) doesn’t name him but gripes about “libs” ruining TD, and he fits. Respect’s near-zero—he’s a punching bag who keeps swinging, not a contender.


The frick? Left leaning? Me?

Also I never in my life went into a thread to complain about left of center posters being persecuted

I don't think it's working from evaluation of people's policy preferences, but from how you're categorized by the community, therefore you're a lib. Welcome.

It appears this modifier describes a substantial percentage of our posters. Idc what anyone claims, there’s no way someone’s posting style differs vastly from their in person communication.

Fwiw, a tigerdroppings poster spotted Rex at the 2019 Krewe of Mutt parade. He had already left this forum by then. Was able to snap a pic

I completely agree with you. The 2016 Trump campaign was the worst thing to happen to this site. Cpt Bengal calling everyone a cuck plus a massive influx of elderly posters from Alabama drove off a lot of the younger posters who had a sense of humor.

Respectfully, I don’t work for you. Your tone yesterday was off putting. I didn’t even see your question but the way you were addressing me was rude so I didn’t care to read through the thread to find it.

i like cubbies, ive defended her on this board, I respect that she at least tries to express opposition to the groupthink

But I started a simple question and I'll post it here for her again so she can take issue with my tone
I stated months ago that Western civilization as has been influenced by America esp post ww2 offers the best life for women and children that has ever existed on this earth
and she said it was not and I asked her so where do women and children have it better ?


America has her faults but we as a Nation have steadily tried to improve ourselves. To live up to that standard

Eatern Europe,Africa, Asia the Middle East treat woman and children as chattle
but a woman might have to travel to another state to kill her baby and libs/progs scream rape and murder

ironic
