Just for shits and giggles went over to Discussionist for the first time in years...

Not much has changed. It's not the worst place, but "discussion" seems to be one side or the other making a point and it ends with massive condemnations of "lefty".

Kinds like real life.

Hearing of its imminent "demise," I visited last night for a few minutes. While nothing shocks me anymore, it was a depressing few minutes. Good riddance to bad (and poisonous) rubbish.

I quit posting there many months ago. Same posters, same hateful comments.

...because someone linked Skinner's post about closing it down.
In that thread, more than one drone complained that it was because Skinner was only worried about DU, his PROFITABLE site.
Conservative wankers criticizing the owner focusing on the successful part of the business.
Are these conservative droolers really espousing socialism? Sounds like commies to me!
