    Maybe, Im not really sure? Once in a while old threads pop up and they seem similar to todays threads. Is the problem more so in quantity? More bad threads now then before?

    Its just the perspective. How many posters disappeared or greatly stopped posting after Trump won? quite a few. The ones that did stay, post less, because their identity is so tied into their politics, that this place has become triggering.

    If Mueller is able to get something on Trump or Trump is out of office, suddenly, those complaining about how shitty this place has been will say "this place is awesome again".

    The core content hasn't changed, its the poster's own perspective on things.

    Those posters triggered by Trump with the Trump Derangement Syndrome are probably miserable in other parts of their lives as well. Reality is miserable, just because Trump won and Trump is everything they think they are against. Something that really doesn't affect them directly changes their day to day mood.

    You’re really gonna play dumb on this one just to play games with me? I have to really list them all out for you? You’re weird man. Hmmm what other things could be going on in the world that are more important than trump outrage?? Hmmmm I wonder.

    Importance is a matter of perspective.

    Also, the conclusion you came too, seems like you came to the conclusion because you wanted too not because you "had" too.

    Some smug ass people on this forum. Only interested in playing games and being illogical and ridiculous just to try and wave their big dick morale superiority all over the place. That fake shit. Virtue signaling. All of it. That’s why people resort to just trolling. There is no dialogue and when there is, its the worst dialogue I have ever seen and am surprised that it’s typed and thought out by people 40 and over. Favoritism and bias towards certain posters run rampant among the mods.

    Barfo has always loved playing these bullshit games with me. It’s what he does. He starts shit, tries to act smarter than he actually is and all he does is asks questions to the most obvious of answer but if you don’t answer them, he pokes a little more claiming you have no answer for this.

    This being the perfect example. What’s more important than threads surrounding trump and issues going on within the world? Too fucking many to list. If I even post an answer he would respond asking how I would fix those issues and what am I gonna do about it. He doesn’t do this shit to anybody else. It’s just garbage games like that people play around here

    It's more than some new members showed up that has caused this. Back in the day there was like 2, maybe 3 guys that really used to disrupt the forum. We had guys like MIXUM, BenDavis503 and PapaG.
    Now in the past few years we've had this influx of a handful of guys who really make this place unenjoyable to visit. Just so god damn argumentative. EVERY single reply is letting others know how wrong they are or have no clue what they are talking about or how much more they know than anybody else. Get's old. I'm sure they will reply to this, no need to tag. Eagerly awaiting their retort.

    This. Barfo is the king of bullshit. And you nailed it: he starts arguments, and then turns the subject around to somehow either make it about something else, or he gives you one-line answers that are so outlandish it just makes you scratch your head. Or he'll pretend to agree with you about something, when in reality he's mocking the very clear point you're trying to make.

    He's very good at that. It's a shame he's not good at anything else........like being a moderator.

    That's probably the Oregon Live people bringing their shit posts over. :NOTMARIS:

    We should have built a pay wall and make Mexico pay for it.

    I think it's the people who comment about those people, giving them the attention they want.

    Well, if you know what they are, why are you so reluctant to talk about them?

    You don't have to list them all. How about just one? Name something more important than Trump that you'd like to talk about.

    Of course. I was asking for his perspective.

    What other conclusion is possible?

    Maybe he was ignoring your question because he didnt think your question was sincere?
    Maybe he didnt want to answer your question at all.
    Maybe he thought it would just lead to further argument and was making a decision to not go down that road.
    Seems like there are lots of reasons why he may not answer your question that arent just, “all he wanted to do was complain”.

    Of course I'd ask those things! By definition, these are topics that you think are more worthy of discussion. Why wouldn't I ask for your input on them? Why wouldn't you be willing to discuss the very things that you think are worthy of discussion?

    I argue with lots of people around here. Don't think you are so special.

    It's funny how certain posters complain about posters choice of subject but offer nothing but complaining about those choices. :evilfire:

    Yep: I'm a jerk, and I'm good at it. Probably banning me is the only thing that will save this forum.
