political clubhouse" Isn't that precisely what has taken place here. Those of us who can think from both side of the fence have been pushed to the wayside to make way for the polluting of the pixels. Well, you can go to Granny's clubhouse. Subject 6944 She CLAIMS to operate that way, although what I've seen suggests she bans those she disagrees without (and she has some views you will find UNBEILVABLE!) and most others who were there have left for other pastures. Here's Bill volunteering to be the next bannee. Message 20899569 No one here has the right answers to anything! Future history is constantly in flux. History always happens differently than we expect. OTOH, there are proven and disproven political philosphies yo work by. You work as much as you can with the proven ones. While we post here about how 'our individual vision' of future history, it should occur at a reasonable level of civility. That's what Granny says. OTOH, if you are on the right and use a word she dislikes, you're gone. If you're on the left and do that, no problem. And I can prove that. I offered to prove it to her and pointed out she was one of the violators. She declined my offer of proof. We all pay to be here. This is not a free forum nor is it a "literary video game" where one can lob grenades and expect to get away with it without consequence. That's right. There are the TOU and Dave and Bob to enforce them. And you and I basically have no first amendment rights here. This is a privately owned site, not a public park. I thought we are at least entitled to that. Nobody's actually lobbing grenades. Were they, the cops could be called and they would be busted. They are expresiing opinions, sometimes forcefully. Or "Sticks and stones may break my bones; words will never hurt me." Or is that not now part of grade school? Apparently, SOROS doesn't think so. If SOROS wishes to ban on a political basis, I volunteer to be the first bannee.
