2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Post removed [View all]Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)I must do some underground research and see if I can grasp his reasoning.
But I confess to having benefited a great deal here, and still recommend it
a lot to people who are confused by MSM spinning -- The debate and (even
when dumb bullshitty or blind) discussion, the presentation of various
sources, insight into who does what or works for whom. From this one site
alone I get more solid education on the current world than I am even able to
read, much less grasp -- but feel confident, that by the time I've downloaded it to my
brain, it's been challenged, corrected, affirmed, deemed useful. There are so many
good smart people here, each with a unique specialty they contribute, and it's
the whole that makes it work for me.
Maybe Skinner keeps the name in order to keep the site alive, to attract people
who might never vote for an establishment candate, or compromise their values
in exchange for a membership card. Without those people, it would be a boring
place I think, a circlejerk sort of forum. OK! Maybe I just answered my own question.
