Where's the fulcrum on this teeter totter?
New here to OT; most entertaining and/or informative. Sometimes outrageous, seldom boring.
Still scrutinizing - haven't yet figured out the prevailing political views. Curious how old hands would describe the teeter totter fulcrum location here - left, right or balanced?

This group's average member is more educated, intelligent and successful than an average American... So it leans to the Right
 Just wanted to drive the pompous bus before Superman or Shaun for once.

Most of the guys here will claim to be either left or right....but in reality they're either charmed or strange.

I've found most guys here to be pretty much straight...

There is no fulcrum. This board is just laying on the ground.

FastPat was the fulcrum. He had both liberals and conservatives bouncing around. He's gone. OT has become calmer, more predictable and more boring.
(No, I'm not one of FastPat's disciples. I disagreed with him more often than not but I miss his perspective)

The fulcrum is definitely eccentric!

I always called it a seesaw, does that mean anything?
