I peruse this thread from time to time and must say that it has really gone downhill. I make this statement viewing it as a bit of an extension to the Trump thread where banter was exchanged between conservatives and liberals. I feel like there was a fair amount of trollery in the previous thread but at least it was witty, at times articulate and there was periodically a good conversation that actually occurred. You still see some of this with Marietta's postings on COVID.
I feel like between wazzu, not all areas, disco, ghost and a few others the quality of writing, basic analysis, trolling etc. has really degraded to the point where it is just annoying. This is my way of saying I will peruse no more... not really worth the time. Later.
