    Typical. Do you have anything substantial to offer or just hyperbole?

    Talk about an echo chamber. Prove me wrong?

    Not trying to make excuses, but I've had a rough week and I'll admit that I came off pretty blunt and maybe clumsy here. Still, I don't like the lack of diversity of thinking here. It's immature (yeah, I'm not immune to that) but it's real.

    Maybe some people avoid talking to others in the main forum, but I don't see it personally. Shit, I just met up with @ABM and his wife and ate food and watched a Blazers game. I've hung out with everyone from @Chris Craig to @MARIS61 in real life. I'm not seeing it.

    I'm not sure what you would like to converse about? Is this place at times an echo chamber? for sure.
    On the flip side of that, the "conservatives" on this site don't do a great job of holding themselves accountable for a.) making good arguments, b) not attacking posters, c) looking like they want to be in a conversation and d) lashing out at people who disagree with them. Unfortunately, I think there are actually some very intelligent people here who are republicans that just lack tact. I'd say there are those on both sides TBH, but the fact is Portland leans left, and as most of us are from around the Portland area it would seem pretty logical that most of us lean that direction as well.

    What do you want to talk about? Trump? I don't "hate" him like many here do, but I certainly don't think he's a good president or leader and I'd be glad to go over the reasons why I think that.

    I would hope we had learned our lesson, that yes, he could get elected.

    I'm not sure I even understand what you're getting at, but sure, I'll bite.
    I hate Trump.
    Your turn.

    You also called me out in your original post, yet obviously you aren't talking about me either, since I rarely talk to anyone on the main board, no matter what their politics.

    And here in OT I talk almost exclusively to (or at, if you prefer) those I disagree with. Sometimes to the point where they beg me to leave them alone.

    If you truly feel there's not enough "diversity of thinking" here, well, maybe you should post your opinion/s more often. And believe it or not, this "O/T" forum is far from one sided where Trump is concerned.

    Ok I didn't realize that and, like I said, I came off as clumsy in some regard. Cheers and that's actually encouraging. My bad.

    I would have. No excuses, but I was going through some things at the time. If I was still in Roseburg, I totally would.

    I had a vistor on the MarAzul a couple nights ago, he said the same thing. We move on. You don't seem to be able to move to anything.

    I've said many times before, this place would be boring as hell if we all agreed on everything. I'll talk to people even when I don't agree with them. I kinda think that's what forums are for.

    Or, and here me out on this, you haven't said anything worth engaging in conversation?

    Maybe it's not the posters here.
