Brilliant article in the Atlantic on Trump's nationalism.

I was wondering how, or if, you intended on having open discussion on 15 different posts in 3 days.

I don't 'intend' anything. I try to balance the mostly bullsh!t that is posted in these forums with some articles that are worth reading, like the one above. Which ironically you have chosen to make no comment on but instead complain that I seem to have made too many posts for your liking.

Why not simply comment on the article instead of complaining?

Agree Eeg. This is ridiculous. Yea, we get it, you hate Trump. But give it a rest. One morning I checked the forum early and there were 5 new threads all with the same basic topic, links to articles about Trump.

Pick one specific topic and stay with that for a while instead of a shotgun approach.

Otherwise, we're gonna have to lobby for a limit on new threads.

@WM,

That's so precious! Poor little snowflake. You don't even comprehend the difference between a 'topic' and the 'subject' of said topic.

Instead of trolling the thread why not simply comment on the point it raises.

Here's an idea for you, if you see my name as the thread starter, just walk on by. You know you want to.

Great, thanks for the suggestion.

Another clue to see who agrees with you.
To see who are also 110% Haters !

@Mn,

Excellent glad I could help you how to think, now maybe you send send a pm to your delicate little friend and explain to him how it works.

BTW, instead of simply trolling every thread, why not make some comment on the thread premise that Trump's nationalism is the polar opposite to patriotism.

@Mn,

Oooh look, lots of smiley faces. and 'lies' in big type. However very grown up of you.

BTW, you might need to brush up on your math, you see by definition 100% is already a maximum.

"Why not simply comment on the article instead of complaining? "

I'm not complaining, I am asking a question. Are you wanting to discuss all of these separately or are you just posting/venting?

I'm not going to go have 15 articles researched if there's no intention to discuss them. I asked because the frequency and content of your posts would be difficult to keep up with if there was to be actual conversation.

I do not like or dislike posts as I am not emotionally invested in information. I do not care how many you post or how often, I just want to make sure I delegate time appropriately.

@Eegore

As Groucho Marx said, when a husband caught him in a compromising position with his wife, "who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?"

You need not worry about what I post or what I don't post or whether you have the stamina to answer and research anything or not. I post what I consider to be interesting points to discuss and people are free to troll or discuss them.

Seeing as you have decided to take the time and step into this thread I would believe you if my own eyes were to see you wanting to discuss the topic of this thread. A couple of people already have indicated it's an interesting article.

You would not need to wonder if it is my intention to discuss a thread I post if you cared because you'd just make a comment and then you'd find out wouldn't you?

Here's another worthwhile point you may be interested in discussing, made by Noam Chomsky.

Maybe you'd care to offer your opinion on whether these are worthwhile posts for a political forum or just bullsh!t trolling...

OK, that's your opinion and I accept that in which case your whinging about my threads is ludicrous.

Why the aggression, eau de sauvage? Eegore is arguably the most reflected, grounded and unemotional contributor on this forum. If we all adhered to his standard of discussing topics we may actually get somewhere instead of just throwing insults.

Perhaps it was the heat? ;)

My mom (who was from Maine) used to say the heat is what made her sister (Panama Canal Zone)a bit of a whacko. :D

Her sister would respond back," and your excuse is the frozen endless Winter?" ;D
