Why, oh why, do you want people to be lonely?
@Once-Ler I'm thinking that this is what I get for years of defending the South and trying to explain that we aren't backward. After all of that---Roy Moore happens.
@jmyrlefuller, if you can still see my posts, I like you and I didn't deliberately set out to be antagonistic with you. But if you look at the forum, the pro-Moore articles dominate. There aren't many of us posting articles to the contrary, even though most reasonable people have come to the conclusion that there's a problem with Moore, at least to some degree or other.
It's reached the point here that the dogged defense of Moore is at TOS levels. I've seen posts over there demanding that Jim crack down on "anti-Moore" sentiment. If some of you had your way, it would happen here, too. I have no doubt of it.
When I came here, it was my impression that this place was filled with thinkers. I haven't seen much of that lately from the people who are in tribalistic denial over Moore. I said at the beginning that if he was innocent, I hoped he would sue the Post and win. That's in black and white in my posting history, despite the slack-jawed accusations that I'm a liberal and I "want" the charges to be true. I haven't seen much of that from you all, though. From the beginning, from the standpoint of many here, Moore has been the only truthteller among a crowd of liars and sluts.
Now? The evidence coming out against him has me convinced that he's guilty. I would hope that the men on this forum who are outraged over the fact that I won't back down from my opinion can get over it. This isn't TOS, and I am not the kind of person who can be shouted down. I thought I was supposed to be the weaker sex, so don't prove me wrong by continuing to be unable to deal with my point of view without getting so ridiculously upset, and by characterizing my disagreement as a "jihad." It's stupid emotionalism.
If you really can't take it, I may be talking to myself by the time this wraps up, after all the ignore buttons have been hit. And believe me, I'm fine with that.
