I completely disagree with this...

Not necessarily. Sure, anyone who is a member is free to read and respond
to any given post, but unless there is a “comments welcome”or “LMKYT”, for
example, responses aren’t solicited. When I post a MOC, I do not do so in
order to receive feedback. Simply sharing and participating in the
community is reward in and of itself.

I was going to quote ‘a few good men’ for a cheap quotation thing, but instead,
in order to score some political karma, I have this quote--
“The GOP has mastered an error condition in the political process, an infinite
loop of abstraction that drains all meaning from political speech. They don’t
have to focus on meaning, really, at all, they just turn up the burbling
nonsense until we all descend past the noise machine event horizon into
infinitely unproductive debate, never to re-emerge. This is how we progressives
(rationalists?) keep ending up on the sucker side of the media war with the
right: we’re still using the old paradigm of meaning and they’re busily
deploying the equivalent of malware and DOS attacks.--The Poor Man Institute ”
I’d even say that, at times, I’ve contributed to the ‘burbling nonsense’...
What were we talking about again? Oh right--Hoppy and Larry contributing to the
conversation about how enormously idiotic and wasteful GWB and the entire
administration of the United States is, and has been, and continues to be.
RIght now I bet many Americans, and, for that matter, the rest of us around the
world--dream about a president whose worse crime was getting some lip service
from an intern.

| (...) Sometimes the only way to get perspective is through the passage of time. You remind me of my utter comtempt with Ronald Reagan when I was in Kollege. History already is showing that Reagan was brilliant. Given the events that have transpired (...) (18 years ago, 22-Mar-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
