What?! Is OPP turning into grade school cliques? 'Invite Only Discussion'. How elitist. How childish.

At first I, like most, just looked past that insidious encroachment into the 'free-wheeling open idea exchange' I like in a site of this genre, but, C'mon-- "Invite - only"? Aren't we all out of grade school recess time by now?

Maybe I missed something... something important, something super-duper whatever?

Perhaps I should just 'put it behind me, get on with my life, get over it'?

Invite only is OPP's version of a "safe room." I am unsure if they provide plush stuff toys and coloring books, but they have provided a space for some to "feel" safe in making any comment without worry of someone disagreeing.

You have to know the secret handshake. If you fit in, you'll be issued a decoder ring, and contact lenses that only members can detect.

I'm with you. It's like facebook. I'm not there, either. Who wants, or needs to know about somebody's aunt's cousin's daughter's best friend's uncle's bowel movement?

Boy, does that bring back memories like the scream of a banshee! Cripes A-mitey when I was, well, about eight or ten y/o we had the pirate's flag, sail boat (make-believe), fort, hand made wooden knives, wooden swords, wooden blunderbusses, and one guy even had an eye patch.

Wow, we surely wasted time in such glorious fashion... when I was ten.

REALLY!?

I haven't even cared to check the place out... but I expect I'm not special enough to be allowed entry to such hallowed ground.

In my own blunt way of expression, I just chalk it up to pure cowardice.

If you can't listen to an opinion that differs from your own, it leads you to the state of sheer ignorance.

Invite only and the ignore option, has turned this site into a fools plantation.

It's usually mostly liberals who hide behind the walls of the ignore option and invite only.

But there are also a few jellyfish conservatives who don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand in the fire of confrontational discourse.

I say to any and all, " bring it Bubba ".

I stand here in this white hot kitchen, and I ain't going nowhere.

I love verbal warfare, but I hate a coward with a glowing passion.

So let them go ahead and run to their safe spaces.

It just labels them with a yellow stripe down their backs.

Cowards beware, there will be no mercy from the Wolf Counselor.

So when they see me coming, they had best crawl back under their rocks and cower in silence.

Because I'm bringin' the thunder...........PUNKS !!

I don't bother to even read the topic headline on these. It has the flavor of early adolescence.

That's because you're a wuss, and your mammy never taught you the pearls of wisdom.

What you ignore is what makes you ignorant..........................PUNK !#!
