I've read it all. There have been toxins in the blood since I joined. I've had my own part from time to time. I'll reserve opinion on it all except to say the challenge to accept differing opinions without condescension and baiting is there for the taking. Beaker has strong opinions often fortified by strong affronts. He was often matched by the same. What am I saying? Nothing probably. I despise hypocrisy, especially my own. There's always conflict and competition. In some things that is probably good I think. This politics thing though...It doesn't seem to matter what the information provides, truth or lie or worse, a mix of both. Beaker is not evil. Evil is evil. It hides especially in hypocrisy. It makes it ok to mock and berate and devise personal dehumanization. It provides ultimately for bloodshed. I don't care if anyone agrees with me or not. I can read. I can hear. I can see clearly. It can get worse in this world. It damn well can and very well may, but it doesn't have to. A good place to start would be respect. Point blank.

Potentially, the good actors can change that.



They cannot. Admin needs to step in from time to time. The difficult part for the Admins is when a person is not purely one way or the other. Engage Beaker on music or certain areas of audio or computer tech and you'll tap into a wealth of knowledge freely given. For example. We all know how it will go if he's challenged on politics. Scorched earth from here to Atlanta.

I'm with SFW. I can't even tell if you are trying to be serious. I don't think it's worth the bother.

I do remember an interaction where I speculated that English might not be your first language, so in many cases when you think you're being edgy/funny, you come off as something much closer to a Russian bot or just a generally unkind person.

But if you are neither a Russian disinformation bot or unkind, and your first language is not English, then you should stop trying to be funny or provocative because you come across as a lout. If you are a native English speaker from the US, then you're a lout.
