I'd say the last straw will be if it doesn't pick up just before the election.

it has been a remarkably painful & slow death. Just a few gasps left. it's a shame. "I ain't dead yet!" If there is ever a discussion on how to maybe revive it - either on here or over a cold beer, I'd have some suggestions (as I'm sure many would). |

I think the mainstays of the forum finally got tired of the trolls.

I think the mainstays of the forum finally got tired of the trolls. Otherwise known as people who disagreed with them? The only true troll that I've seen on here is MikeyDokey. This place was a lot more lively when there were more posters on here that were very outspoken. I warned it would happen then, and it seems that now it has. If you keep banning the members that disagree with you, you'll end up with just a bunch of people that agree about everything. Not exactly conducive for lively debate. |

Aside from banning, the over-all tone of disrespect, denigration, mocking and attribution of ill intent/stupidity/allegiance to unclaimed ideology/ etc. is just offensive and stifling. There are few real debates here and fewer discussions. It seems more like a radio call-in talk show a/o alternative talking heads.

I suppose because he couldn't wrap his MIND around Obama's "Fuck the REST of Us" plan What plan would that be specifically? Don a blindfold , spin three times and throw a rock, you'll hit one. |

You've genuinely wounded me.
There's a thing in our trade called "asked and answered", and "Duke" had ample opportunity to pour out his vitriol against LE, until it got repetitive and downright personal in one insider case; then, he had to go.
Same with "Scarlet and Grey/aceman" who made specific physical threats and indulged in the most vile name-calling against somebody who happens to be a friend of mine.
He had MORE than his two bites of the apple.
But, for you to omit ME, who's spent the better part of his life and career under bridges waiting on Billy Goat Gruff--UNPARDONABLE!

There is a difference between disagreement and vile rhetoric.
