Thanks for this post. I debated for a while before looking through the example threads. I've lurked a bit on those sites asked some questions and shared information with knowledgeable people. The reason why I JOINED this club and forum is that on those forums, the vast majority of the threads veered into political discussion usually lead and fed by people who lack critical thinking skills or just love to spew opinion. Now I am a big fan of spewing opinion myself but I don't feel I MUST inject my politics into every aspect of my life. I don't mind disagreeing with people either as long as those people aren't disagreeable...Inquisitor wrote:So, we have dealt with random folks before, these usually come up when some fine denizen encounters us through a press release or just random searching.

I will keep this updated. Forum members from here who decide to be clever and start or re-kindle wars will be banned, so, proceed with caution. We have this place because we don't want random buffoons pissing on the rug.
But we exist because this is the standard response to the idea of us, confusion, accusation, and outright animosity. As a new member said: I hate that this place has to exist, but I am glad its here.

Anyway, the threads are predictable. Let them wallow in their pissy diapers.
I feel pretty confident in predicting that our members wouldn't seek out to troll those boards because we happen to disagree. At least I hope not or I'd be gone.
