You're right, which is why I don't bother with it very much. But of course, as you can see from the first reply to your post, it's 100% the fault of those on the left. I recommend the few remaining posters on the left also find some place more agreeable in which to post, as the left bears sole responsibility for all unpleasant experiences on this site (because no one on the right, and most certainly no mods on the right, directly and constantly attack any posters on the left; and no groups on the right ever contribute to gang up five or six to one on any posters on the left). Then PJ can become the right wing circle jerk your first respondent so dearly wants and contributes fulsomely to create.
It would be preferable if those on the Left who make posting personal would just start discussing the issues.
The Left twists my words in such a fashion that the discussion becomes untwisting of the words rather than the issue those words were about. I spoke about Lefty doing it because that is who does it to me.
If you are able to talk about what Righty posters do to dampen your desire to post, then by all means do so. Don't expect me to analyze Righty posters. You can do it.
What I want is discussion, on topic, not about me/my looks or anything to do with me. I would like to see Trump analyzed without talking about his imagined relationship with his daughter or the length of his fingers.
I think there may be a few Lefty posters (you are one of them) who might be able to carry this out. Clearly, there are some Lefty posters who lack the ability to write in English or to think through to the meat of an issue and actually post on it. If they want to leave......that's fine. I hope that those who are mature enough to have an actual conversation will stay.
If it was my post you were referring to as someone who wants an echo chamber, then your assessment was wrong.
