"Thought I'd drop in for a moment to see if TP has been cleaned yet of the stupids that post and spam here. "
Well, if you mean is the fray reserved for only those who share your views and opinions yet, then no, it is not.
"Nope! Still the same idiots, paulieboy, bubba (in his many disguises), lilmacg, upyna, ejpooper, trigger (in his many incarnations), etc....all the brainless, hate spewing, right wing, non sensical still controlling the board."
Made all the more striking when compared to the oh so much more civil, respectful, dare we say, loving manner in which our more liberal posters such as yourself view those who dare not accept your views as their own, huh?
"TP used to be a good place to come to discuss different ideas but these idiots make it impossible and the editors don't seem to care, so I'll say adios.....................el".
Seems to me like you come here to have your ego stroked by others just like yourself, with little or no interest at all in any serious discussion of "different ideas". It is difficult to try to "discuss" anything when anything "different" than you believe is dismissed as merely "brainless" "idiots" " spewing hate".
You might need to consider climbing down off your cross there, zippy, it doesn't suit you nearly as well as you seem to think.
