Talking in circles and making inferences while playing the intellect is not your strong suit, nor is my patience today. Pardon me, I withdraw.
You're the one playing coy, as usual. This is your typical behavior, to make inferences that I'm the most loathed member of the Attic, and the one who lowered discourse into the sewer, and then run away and talk in circles when challenged on this bullshit, because you know it's bullshit.

Some of the people who attack you are people I don't care to even converse with. Others not so much. Like I said, I'm not prepared to point fingers concerning things I'm pretty sure I don't know the history of, plus if you are happy with how comport yourself, than good for you. If not that's up to you. I don't intend to pile on. I mostly enjoy your posts. Some are very thoughtful, others not so much. I didn't mean to judge, if that is what I've done.

Well, I'm certainly no saint, and I never insisted I was to anyone. Have I always chosen the best way to respond to the attacks? Probably not. Have I sometimes acted overly rude when I've been frustrated with people's stupidity or dishonesty? I'm sure I have.
To be honest, this petty juvenile crap that ruins so many threads is my least favorite aspect of the Attic. I came here to discuss current events and debate political issues, not to engage with grade school children. The problem is that there is a not insignificant number of right wing trolls who have the stunted maturity of 3rd graders and are here primarily to troll and behave like schoolyard bullies, not to engage in intelligent and mature discourse. It's an aspect that has driven away many good intelligent mature folks over the years, and will likely drive me away very shortly to more mature pastures. I can't say that I am a better person after hanging out here for a few years. In some ways, this environment has made me less of a person, with a lot more time I have put into trading insults and stupid petty sh!t than I care for. I have ended up spending way too much time on the useless petty juvenile stuff, being one of the trolls' favorite targets, rather than on the intellectually stimulating stuff I came here for.
Most forums have some level of troll control, to keep this kind of crap to a minimum. The admin here obviously doesn't care that allowing the trolls free reign ruins the environment for the more intelligent folks, and will likely destroy the community in the long run, as has happened to so many other internet forums with no troll control.

Hey Frosty, I thought most Democrats were against the U.S. being the policemen of the World. Your post seems to indicate otherwise. What say you?

I also know that with all the constant complaining and griping that you hear about America, coming mostly from other affluent Western Countries, we are still the place where everybody else wants to live.

None of those is true.
None of those is true.
Then why do you think everybody else wants to live here? It seems to be a mystery to people on the left.

Maybe they should leave America and go back from whence their ancestors came. Then they don't have to worry. See how easy that was?

OK that actually sounds more like when I thought I joined. I read 2011 when I looked it up. No wonder I couldn't believe I'd been here so long. Thank you for the correction. I still don't believe you can blame the attic on Keenan.
No...but we got rid of Larry Payne (at least I think we did) and his sidekick seems to have left (Toothache). Unfortunately we have also lost Robertjerl, Prarie Seasons, and several others due to the increasingly toxic climate here. Pounder is not here nearly as much as he used to be and there are several others that have been gone for so long that I can't recall their nicks. I am sure the attrition is felt on both sides.
I could have sworn you were gone for a long time but who knows? I go through streaks here....away for a while and back for a while.

You never heard the old saying that "they went to different schools together?" It is a form of light humor.
Can't say that I have, but then I don't know everything.

I just reread your post. I'm not sure we are talking about the same Clinton. The server didn't exist when they first started investigating Bill, and I've never heard him tied to it.

Your evaluation seems quite valid and my thought is that his absence lessens the stench in the sewer. I too have made some less than flattering posts with this little enigma.
"his absence?"
You mean the abscess? The large red inflamed boil that when punctured spews foul smelling puss fluids?
