Title: anyone think its getting boring and heres why
Post by: Tom/Mutate on September 03, 2006, 02:32:34 AM
You know on WP and the rest, we had very entertaining debates, because, there were people like Sean and Klytus with their Militaristic, facist views to contend with.   The thing is I feel that this site has an atmosphere that really appeals to the more liberal, outthere leftfield kind of aspies.   The result being that this site does not appeal to the like of Sean at all because they sinply wouldn't enjoy anything about being here.  So we end up all having the same opinions and values.  Then we end up either

Waiting for the rare people like Boewulf who only turn up once in a blue moon

or, just picking fights with each other for no real reason.

We need to get more conservative people here and make them feel welcome IMO.   Just so that we have people to argue with.

Beowulf is Klytus, but Sean has said he would never join here although I believe he has lurked as a guest.

i will take the position of the young republican for the next several weeks, then.

i believe and have been trying to push the sophist method of debate.  pick a side and argue it, it doesn't matter if you agree, since its all relative anyways.

I think part of the problem is that ideas like the anti-philosophy forum seem to have fallen by the way side a little.  It also doesn't help that everytime there's a heated debate someone screams 'aspie elite' or 'bully'.

yes.

then it seems like we attract the sensitive types trying to use the site to toughen themselves up a bit.  but then when push comes to shove they hide behind the old standbys.
never really learning a thing.

interesting PI.

i will think on your post more.  this was just my gut instinct.

Let me know what you come up with- its taken me a while to get all this straight in my head, the time away helped, but I still think its a complex issue.

as i've said before, i think that Beowulf would make an excellent site admin. unfortunately, i don't think he would be interested.

i want to be a temporary right-winger too. in doing so, i reckon i could single-handedly destroy any credibility that the Right have!  8)

i don't think the point is to have arguments.  what fun is that?  and it seems to me the ones who are complaining there aren't enough arguments don't argue in the first place.  Bit hypocritical IMO.

the reason it's boring sometimes is there are too many ask away threads and too many people who only post on their ask away threads.  My two cents, which isn't worth a whole lot.

I'm fairly new here, but you're quite right.  I do only post away in my ask thread.  It feels more comfortable easing my way in that way, as the rest of the forum members seem to know each other fairly well and for a bit of time.
