All we are saying…is give peace a chance.
See you all after the elections
Regardless of what political messages are being spread around here it’s unfortunately true that the level of courtesy and how we talk with those we disagree with reaches a fever pitch before elections in the United States.
Too many talking heads in the mass media are modelling too much poor behavior and loathing of "others" and it’s filtering into this place which I like to hang out with for fun and to help others. What should be plain technical discussions are being infused with personal acrimony. If I wanted that for fun I’d work in a call center.
I’m taking a break from the A’gon for a while. I can’t say the toxicity it’s not affecting me either. This place is just not worth the anger and frustration it is causing of late and I certainly don’t want to learn how to behave by modelling that myself. Hopefully when I come back in 2025 Americans will again be relating to other Americans in ways that don’t involve criminalization or demonization and this place will be nicer. I also really am too old to be having "but he started it" excuses over what should be a fun and meaningful hobby. Be well all. See you in a few months.

I hope you will reconsider. Your posts are very educational for people like me who don’t have the technical knowledge that you possess.
I cannot imagine why anyone would think it’s a good idea to post political blather on an audio forum, regardless of the point of view. One would hope that those people would realize that they are neither persuading anyone to their point of view or presenting themselves as “smart“ to the people on this forum. Quite the opposite is true. It’s unlikely, but perhaps there will be a wave of common sense and they will save their political musings for political venues |
@erik_squires Reconsider. It won't be the same without you. |
