More Glitches in the ATS Matrix

[FlyingClayDisk]

I tend to be a little more forgiving of the exasperation.

After all, it is nigh impossible to discuss some conspiracy theories with out including a political component.  Further, politics is seen as a root element within many conspiracy theories, so intrigue and interest in the politics of today is natural.  Members seeking that form of engagement found ATS (and hopefully DI) welcoming of the exploration... and grew to anticipate and appreciate it for it's rarity.

Of course, where that goes astray is in the expectation that a topic about politics today includes more than simple politician/party-bashing.  That when you visit a topic of political nature, you expect that it isn't just a partisan treatise with no conspiratorial point.  It can be - and is - frustrating and disappointing to search for discussion and be confronted with memery, hackery, and theatricality.  So they vent.  Even I vented.

At different points, I would call out that it is all theater, and where you see theater, you simply don't have to engage... but to little avail.  I would stress that it is opinion only, but was met with silence for the most part.  Some posters distinguish themselves with intense hatefulness towards a particular political person, or ideology, or even religion.  They "self-identify" as it were.  From there it can get hairy, "reactions with drama," I call it.

But in the end, your point is well made.  If you find a food that gives you heartburn, the solution is simple. Don't eat that anymore. (And no, "Tums" isn't a "solution.")

Max...you use too many words.

Just too many words.

So, do you see me now? (over here?), (or, over here?)...(or, over here?).

Do you see me now?
