Good post OD.

-----------------

Personally speaking, I have had enough of trying to deal with the pure idiocy expressed by several people (Atag_doc, MadBlaster) on this forum in the various political threads that have appeared recently.

They are like people who demand the right to believe the sky is coloured green with orange polka dots, who when challenged by any evidence-based reasoning that it may actually be blue, retreat into a fantasy land of conspiracy and denial, and accuse you of infringing their freedom of speech.

Last night's posts took the biscuit (e.g. "Today both Republicans and Democrats have been co-opted by Progressives" and "In Europe Right and Left are Socialist." Atag_doc). How do you even begin to reason with that? I have concluded that it's not possible. I understand now why Andy lost it and got banned. It is very difficult to deal with such narrowly disguised arrogance and closed mindedness.

So, guys, stay in your familiar, right-wing comfort zone. Keep believing that the entire world beyond a narrow, right-wing, Fox News-fed grouping is a socialist conspiracy whose only goal is to find ever more novel ways of increasing your taxes.

I won't be posting replies to any of your nonsense any more.
