Don't gripe and deflect.  Jump into the cesspool.  Honest and good faith discussions await.  Be the change man!

The these posts overwhelm every topic. If I wanted to read twitter I would go to twitter. If that's just what this place will always be so be it.

Why is this entire message board just a twitter repost for like two people? Aren't people supposed to actually post original thoughts or have discussions vs just bombing each subject with reposted content from other places? 

I understand your perspective and certainly see people posting original thought.  I also think @BillsFanNC is quite correct on how this place functions.  
 

On the other hand, I’m not certain there’s all that much original thought on the main board, quite a bit of repetition, and people opining on things they know little about.  To be fair, there are a few excellent posters who seem to have good insight into the game, but mostly it’s just people with a common interest shooting the breeze.

And in 2005 it was griping about links to news websites and quoting from them, which is essentially 50% of what the X links are here now.  Again, be the change why don't you?  It will definitely work this time.  Nose to the grindstone!

There are of course exceptions to every rule and leh-nerd certainly is the exception here at PPP.  He's consistently and steadfastly above the mire of this cesspool. If you want some honest discussion Mikie2times I'd suggest going a round or three with lehnerd. 

 

Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen him link to X on here.

So you have been here for 20 years. Posting whatever random thing somebody posts on the internet for 20 years. Claim that this place has always been a cesspool. Then saying I should make an attempt to make it better?

On and off. Sometimes off for months and at least once for a year plus. Also I've not always been a very prolific poster here in the cesspool, I used to post on the main board mostly.

It has more to do with you griping about the way this place is like so many have before through the years.  It's a gripe as old as PPP itself.  You should also know that SDS, the board administrator, has stated that he regrets ever allowing this place to exist on his board in the first place.  So I suggest it as a tongue firmly planted in cheek suggestion.  This place will remain the same as it ever was and will only change if the day ever comes when SDS decides to 86 it.

Thank you--the whole X short blurbiness is aggravating more than anything.  I'm luck to be able to embed a youtube link. No X (formerly Twitter) for me.

This would have been one of your better posts if not for the amateurish attempt at spelling pedophile.

We're still waiting on a good post from you. Keep trying, I'm sure you'll get there.

Hey, you've got Finding behind you. So you've got that going for you, which is nice.

 

You can stick with the intellectually honest back and forth of how reliable the media is and how Biden remained mentally fit for his entire term.

 

A thousand Catturd tweets in a row doesn't begin to sniff that track record of stupidity.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but there is an observation I would make relating to these X links.

Very frequently they are from people that nobody has ever heard of, and generally for good reason.

The links are always in support of the poster's underlying view.

 

The problem is that they are rarely credible and contain vies and judgements that are ridiculous, with near complete ignorance of the subjects and context of what they suggest.

I only say this regarding those I have noticed on issues I think I am quite familiar with.

 

When I read those, I frequently find myself shaking my head and being amazed at the ignorance.

I agree mostly, so it then becomes a question of letting posters lay out their ignorance in their own words or farm it out to those in the X sphere. What's the difference? 

 

When everyone became expert virologists and immunologists during covid changed the entire game. When morons who couldn't tell you the difference between IgG and IgM are telling you at the same time that the science is settled and must be followed is when I knew that I can declare myself to be an expert in anything at all.

The difference is the reader's subjective response to whether such claims are justified.

There is some implied suggestion of credibility when these no names/no knowledge sources post some giant X view.

A poster doesn't get that same response, and believing some ignorant goof simply because it's an X post is a really bad idea.

Not sure what's sadder, this post or the people who liked it. Pathetic as always ned.

Is it any worse than parroting what some ignorant goof at CNN or the WH press room tells you to believe about Biden's mental health or the efficacy of the vaccine?

 

Everyone's takes are informed by what they consume in media, X, the scientific literature etc. 

 

You're FAR better off these days being informed by X sources, actual X alternative news sources, than legacy media.

 

And it's not even close.
