I've been posting here for a long time, and to tell the truth, I've never known what the rules are, or even cared to find out.
To me it's simply a place to express my thoughts on what I find interesting and political that might be interesting or thought provoking to the other members. Or to respond to something another forum member has posted.
It seems to me, that should be the purpose for anyone posting here.
Boards and Sal and the other hardcore opponents rightfully resent entries by members aimed solely at disrupting and denigrating members -- entries designed simply to insult or disturb, and in many cases, to hijack a thread that appears to be productive.
Many of Markle's posts qualify for the latter category. In fact he has, in several instances admitted his real purpose is to "piss the right people off."
Well, he's frequently achieved his goal.
As I've pointed out in many of my responses to his comments, it's clear he hasn't been the least interested in persuading anyone to his point of view.
His actions have now brought up the possible cause for termination of this forum. His smarmy participation seldom if ever contributes to a discussion. So, this time, in keeping with the true purpose of this forum -- to serve as a platform for political discussion and discourse, I vote for him being gone.
If he stays I go.
