I still can't figure out how this thread applies to OT. PARF? For sure. I browse OT all the time and, with occasional exceptions, the lady pilot thread being one, the place seems pretty peaceful to me.

I've had a lot of questions answered, learned lots of stuff I'd probably never have thought of if I hadn't looked into threads staring me in the face, and am generally entertained. I don't count Paul's speeding Bullitt posts as a problem; I think they're funny as hell the way they rile up some of the guys here who seem to take this goofy Internet banter WAY more seriously than I do.

PARF on the other hand, is a cesspool. That's why the crap posted there was segregated from OT. I'll grant that there have, on rare occasions, been worthwhile discussions that were sustained for a while, but they're the exception rather than the rule - and even most of those were ultimately dragged down into the brown stuff.

Another thing is, there really ain't that many people who post on PARF. And the handful who do are predominantly conservatives arguing with the small number of non-conservatives who go into their sand box. The cesspool would probably dry up if that minority quit going there because the majority would get bored just preaching to their choir.

I'm in the minority group and I go there just for laughs, spend more time there than on OT by far. I'll never try to sabotage a thread just for the fun of it though. But I will jump right in and have fun if a thread strikes me as outrageous from my political perspective. But even then, it's only sabotage in the eyes of those I'm disagreeing with as far as I'm concerned. I get s kick out of how troll defines dissenters who won't give up - damn trolls!!

Anyway, where's the problem here on OT?
