Nah, I don't want to start a forum. Rich was "interesting", I'd think you would want to keep him around for the entertainment value. The heavy handed ban stick which resulted in banning guys like ISS and 500Grains has negatively impacted your site.

You banned me in the past for sending a PM to a member I clashed with in the ARPF (Kpete who complained to Don because I called him by name and so he claimed he felt threatened by my PM which was funny because Don thought he was a woman because of his first name and reaction to my PM) yet you allowed DaMan to post my name, address, and a Google map to my house inviting those who disagreed with me to look me up (others put up with this as well). DaMan was eventually canned, for what I don't know, but he stepped way over the line you gave to the rest of us with no consequences for years. You will never admit it but you have a definite anti-American slant on this site which is fine as it's your site but you could at least be honest and admit it. Your tacit approval of the behavior of DaMan and Edmond are indicative of that fact.

What I don't understand though, political stuff aside, is why are you letting this once great site die a slow death? Doesn't have to be this way, Saeed. Why? Everyone else sees that this place is dying, do you see it?

I looked up a couple of threads that Edmond participated in outside the political forum. I saw posts from people insulting France, with no provocation from Edmond. They dragged politics to another forum to insult Ed/France. This whole thread is just a bunch of whining. Go start your own site. Let the cool kids threaten to kill other posters but ban anyone who doesn't worship the ground Trump walks on.

Has Edmond ever insulted Americans? You bet! I say ban anyone who supported Hillary! Why not support a president who actually loves his country? And it wouldn't look like worship if you leftists were not continuously coming up with lies and innuendo that the rest of us have to endure.

Wrong. It is a PRECISE description why Edmond is so despised in the crater. People are simply responding in kind to what HE started.......

Yes I can well explain the dynamics of American politics, freedom, and leadership; but because you have allowed the crater to become a shithole, there is no place left in AR for an honest and respectful discussion of differing political ideas. You are not losing the rif-raff............they are staying. You are losing men who have earned their own way and losing their respect as well.

But hey, it's your forum and you can manage it into decline if you like....................

Nope. I can explain them based on how I think and others believe. It's not hard for an INTJ to be objective..

Is there anywhere in America where an honest and respectful political discussion can be held??

There are very few folks I truly wish ill will toward. Rich is one of the two. After telling me I should ream my dying father's ass on his deathbed for smoking and then sending me death threats when I responded in kind, I could never appreciate him. Thanks Saeed for the ban.

Is there ANY respect for ANYTHING coming from Trumpolino?

I did not say you did, I just said I do not believe your Bull Shit.

You are a prime example of why "Respectful Political Discussions" cannot take place in the Crater, you are convinced that you are Right and anyone that does not agree with you 100% is wrong!

For a "Respectful" discussion to take place, the combatant's have to start off with an open mind, that ain't happening on this site and that includes you.

Absolutely, many places. But AR is not among them.

AR Political Forum is not a valid representative sample of US citizens or their views and discussions.

AR Political Forum is frequented by four groups of people:

Anti-American non-US personnel

Spammers/trolls (most also belong to the above group)

Sewer rats

and those who do not fit the above but who are willing to stomach engaging them.

The number of people in the top three groups is growing slowly.
The number of people in the bottom group is declining rapidly.
Active participation AR wide is also declining rapidly. Call it collateral damage.

Funny, I am not RILED UP, I just think you overestimate your intelligence. You seem to have yourself convinced that you and any that think exactly as you do are right and everyone that is not in lockstep with your line of belief, 100%, is wrong.

There is no room in your world for anyone to have a different view on a subject.

I am not riled up, in fact I find your comments and beliefs laughable, if not extremely pathetic, because you claim you want respectful discussion but it appears that your concept of respectful discussion is to tell anyone that does not buy into your concept of reality, is wrong.

1. I am not easily offended.

2. I have an excellent sense of humor.

3. I recognise people that are delusional. President Trump has every opportunity to grind Obama's time in office into the dirt, he is too busy tweeting.

You and those like you are blinding yourselves to reality. We will see how things turn out over the next 3 or 4 months, I personally hope President Trump succeeds.

If he doesn't it will be his own fault, and people like you will be blaming it on everyone else.

Nope. You are very easily offended and have no sense of humor. Your response to my dual grinny face post shows that. And just how am I blinding myself? (This should be good.)

Curious, is it INTJ to behave in such a childish way?
