No less possible than plenty of the crap the nut jobs post? Political disagreement does not invalidate evidence. You may disagree with what Greg has been sharing, but he has sourced volumes of evidence. He's also been researching this topic, working to become a subject matter expert, taking interviews with primary sources in our intel community for around two years. So while you may not agree with his conclusions, he is not bringing down the quality of the board, as bringing down the board's quality is not synonymous with posting conclusions one disagrees with. What you are doing only brings down the quality of the board, so given that you're newer here, and I think it's desirable for the board to seek out new posters of all ideological persuasions who are interested in contributing positively to the discourse, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and asking you to please stop doing what you're doing. It serves no purpose other than ruining other people's experience, and is a really ****ty thing to intentionally do to other people.

It was a request made by one person to another person to stop treating other people poorly because it amuses you to treat other people poorly.

Will you act on it, or are you content to be a ****ty person who takes enjoyment from treating other people poorly? I ask because I'd rather have you be a positive influence here, continue to read your posts, engage you about your thoughts and beliefs, and have a healthy dialogue. That's when the board is at it's best. If not, that's obviously your choice to make, but I'd rather save myself time and simply put you on ignore now if that's going to be the case.

I was hopeful that you might take the fact that you're being ****ty to real people for your own amusement to heart, and that you might decide to amend your behavior, becoming instead a positive contributor to this community. Or have you decided that you'd rather behave like a jerk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been told in a civil manner by a few different posters here what an ass you are. You continually jump into a discussion, not trying to add anything but acting like a clown offering nothing to the conversation. You aren't familiar with the subject but that doesn't matter. Your clown act is what matters to you. You are the epitome of the Ugly Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
