olive branch
Can any of us who love this board deny it has ran aground? The liberals who show with any frequency are limited to Taxwonk (who today had the breakthrough thought that Penske is sometimes not serious and just fucking with people) and Ty.
Certainly arguing with Taxwonk is only "fun" when one is fucking with him due to the dull normal issue. That leaves Ty.
In my entire life I have never met anyone who can be so didactic while trying to appear straight. The style discourages me (and i think Penske) from posting with anything approaching an attempt to respect the other side's opinion BECAUSE it is clear the other side does not respect our opinion.
So we have a board where Slave responds to Ty, and Ty thinks he is having some elevated discussion.
Poll: do any of you like this forum? (rhetorical)
I propose that Ty be replaced as moderator, and leave the board for a period of months. I believe the people who have quit posting here, either effectively or actually, will come back and this board will flourish. After 6 months perhaps Ty could come back w/o killing the board, provided he has learned that this is not Politics 201 Prof. Ty.
Downside: the only I can see would be that this bitter useless forum becomes even deader. What if Ted Williams's head defrosts- is that really harm?
