T***h be told, I'm more than capable of dishing it out in kind. I guess I was just getting frustrated searching for well thought out comments and opportunities to engage in useful dialogue. It seemed that the website was completely infested with trolls. But I've seen a few posts like yours that will make me willing to hang in there a bit longer.

Good call. I don't think you will be disappointed in the long run.

[quote=BigOlBear]I'm new on this website and may not stick around much longer. By the site title, I had hoped to be able to read others' opinions and exchange ideas. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to wade through all the angry nonsense posted by a few who seem to have nothing better to do than to spam the website with useless comments. The worst one I have seen so far is someone called Glaucon. This person has posted over 5600 comments and, as I read what he has to say, it seems obvious that he is a narcissist with a bad attitude who thinks the rest of us are all pretty stupid. Of his comments that I have read so far I have found only two or three that express a lucid opinion that does not denigrate others. I have listed just a few of his comments below so you can see the type of rude and insolent nonsense he expects the rest of us to endure.
You are due an explanation concerning Glaucon. According to information, provided by him, with no fact based evidence, he is a retired psychologist and, supposed retired professor. He is, according to him, currently doing research to write articles and, possibly, a book. He utilizes the site to obtain "material" for his research/writing. It is my perception his comments are to obtain the reaction he wants to prove his theories on wh**ever his current project is. It has nothing to do with political discussion and everything to do with him, his "research" and such.
Does that clarify things?

I, for one, entertain some doubts regarding his alleged bona fides.

No, she who must be obeyed. There is no will. It is must.

You may have learned a lot in this thread alone to help guid you through your topic, to assist you, there was a topic titled something like "troll list" a little while back where a list was comprised, you could use that to expedite your time here. Glad you decided to stay👍

Someone already said it to you. I will reaffirm it. If you leave, they have accomplished the goal. The goal is to quiet disagreement with their agenda. Please do remember that little piece of paper with those ten very important items, ie. The Constitution and Bill of Rights, the first one being freedom of speech.

Yes dear sweet, compassionate, AuntieE. Those of us who have experienced the bliss of married life are well aware of our instructions. And, we endeavored to follow said instructions to the letter...or else. We know/knew the consequences of disobedience.

Why is it a stretch?
Researchers often formulate actions to obtain reactions for their research.

Auntie is right, sounds like a wannabe to me but I have no proof.
