94. And with that post i think it is time to end taking this place seriously
once and for all.

It was a great refuge when shrub was in power. When there were very few such places. I learned an incredible amount here over the years but lately there has been far less learning than there has been horror at the ease at which even this pl;ace is manipulated by headlines.

You have been one of my all time favorite poster grant and I will miss your intelligent takes on so many subjects.

I think i knew this place had jumped the shark once and for all the day Will Pitt was banned. What Was once a place for independent thinkers has become a bastion of group think that has gotten so bad that it believes Kieth Olberman is a real journalist yet is outraged when he is held to journalists standards.

I just rarely see the value in this place anymore, and I find it to be a shame.

You will be sorely missed here grantcart and when your objective eye becomes one that is ridiculed here its clear that this place is no longer what it used to be.

Good luck in life and I hope I am lucky enough to cross paths with you somewhere out there in the internets in the future.

Having said all that I do enjoy poking a stick in the hornets nest that this place has become every so often so I will likely still do that when I am feeling ornery enough to withstand the onslaught of the borg that always follows.
