So where did all the 'regulars' go?

Hmm....seems like when it's no longer a "OMG Obama isn't really a citizen!" echo chamber, cats, AB/Julie, and ML are no longer interested in posting.

Re: So where did all the 'regulars' go?

  • They're more "mature."

  • They must have gone someplace where they can engage in high-brow political discourse free of personal attacks.  Like referring to the character of those who disagree with them as "$hit".
  • Vlagirl suggested they take a break from the board because they can't handle reading opinions differing from their own. It's all very traumatizing, you know. Way worse than being threatened by LibertyMomma

    Oh well. Dibs on the lazy boy and bag of Cheetos in the corner. Anything to drink in the fridge?

    I'd have loved to see that.

    Back in the day, there was intelligence and being informed on both sides, IIRC. Yeah, you had your crazies, but dayum with this shitt that is here now.

  • Obviously they are gathering their guns and Bibles and preparing for the war. You guys are gonna be so sorry. 
  • You don't know what's coming up the pike, economically speaking, you biotch.

    Also, my gunz.

  • I'll just move to Canada, then. 

    No harm, no foul, legalized weed, poutine, and milk in a bag.

  • I can't believe milk in a bag is one of your selling points on Canada. I list that under Nickleback and Avril Lavigne with the rest of the cons.

  • Milk in a bag is easier to store than milk in jugs.

    We have a tiny fridge.  I have to go to the store every day to get milk because the amount of milk we need doesn't fit in the fridge with all the other foodz.

    Priorities!

    Also, they have prettier money.

  • Milk in a bag grosses me out. It's just wrong.
  • It's the same as milk in plastic gallon containers, just in floppy form.

  • IT'S NOT THE SAME.
  • No, it's better. 

    Floppy milk bags.

    I didn't. I said you were no longer interested in posting now that it's no longer an echo chamber.

    I believe you described it as an "OMG Obama is not a citizen" echo chamber. I can see why she is a bit cheesed off.

    I do not know who the 'regulars' are. I don't blame them for keeping mum. Based on a few of the comments in other threads, some folks seem to like the smell of blood in the water. This is typical of the Nest/Bump and not unexpected or suprising.

    Not too many people want to discuss their opinions when others are being personally attacked for theirs. Even if the opinion is not "correct" in your mind, calling people names does not advance your position. You'll just end up with an echo chamber of your own making. How fun is that?
