Okay. I'm the original poster of this thread. A few small things I want to point out.
- I already noticed the "rabidness" of Ayiekie's posts and the pointlessness of responding a few weeks ago.
- I was tempted to jump in and ask for the thread not to be derailed like that, but then I became curious how it would go. (Like a train wreck)
- I've really seen enough of that, frankly. And it's really starting to go in circles now.
- You may as well let Ayiekie have the last word. That's the only way to let this thread die.
- If you really feel like continuing this, you may as well start a new thread with a new subject line, because it surely has been derailed that far anyway.
Lastly -
I've noticed that Ayiekie has not participated that I can tell in any other board here at Drunkard's Walk. Either s/he came in purely for the politics or is a sock puppet. And even keeping the politics seperated as it is in its own board, I've decided that I don't want to deal with anyone on this board who isn't interested in being a part of the larger community here. At least with the rest of you, I we have something in common despite our politics. Ayiekie may be a totally reasonable person on any other topic, but I don't have that example to go on, so s/he gets mentally lumped in with the lunatic fringe in my mind. Which perhaps is unfair. But oh well. I can only go with what I see/read.
Having had my say, this is my last post on this particular thread.
