Time for an appropriate musical interlude:
"Everyone wants to be an AM Gangsta until it's time to start doing AM Gangsta shit."
I have all but quit posting so-called opinion pieces on this forum.
Because.

There's nothing wrong with an opinion piece. What's wrong is when the opinion piece gets quoted as fact.
That's the issue.
Unsourced garbage isn't worth the time of day.
Having said that, a SOURCED piece of information should not be discarded simply because it's from a site someone doesn't like for ideological reasons.
I submit that most right wing sites are "spaghetti throws" in that they disseminate information they WANT to be factual, but isn't. The old "if it sticks, run with it" theory. The "both sides do it" argument doesn't work, because both sides don't do it. It's really been only side that flings the spaghetti and they are tinged with tea.
Oh, I know. But after the Turd Blossom debacle, I have disarmed myself. Can't hurt that Turd's feelings, it causes the whole forum to deteriorate. Meh. Meh, meh, meh.
At least there were staff changes. And I'm SO glad it happened. We no longer have a certain blatant troll on the staff. Of course, I was accused (and probably still will be) of being a troll. However, the less said about it anymore, the better, as it will be considered a personal attack.
I trust Jeff and Luke's judgement in these matters, and will always be proud of the fact that I fell on the sword. It does get better.
And, liberal is not a dirty word, but DON'T call me a liberal. OK? :rofl:
