[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4100714, member: 76548"] I've noticed as much. I also have been a regular participant on another message board forever, that has far more intelligent posters, and somewhat better discussion. At least there's a large subset of that anyway, but I'm not really happy with the direction it's gone in since the 2016 election (stuff there has gotten personal and vindictive - outing of personal info, employers contacted, public shaming, etc.), so I've been distancing myself from there for a while now. Wasting time is what message boards are for. I'd bust out my world-class trolling skills here, but they don't put up with nearly the level of :censored: my other waste of time does. So I'll just keep it real, genuinely post what I think, and respond even to idiocy, with logic and honest opinions based in fact and gained knowledge. The alternative, is they ban me with the quickness, and even with trying to be kind of nice/respectful, they took away my posting privileges without mod approval when I first started to participate here, after I was a bit too [I]overzealous [/I]in my rebuttals toward some of the 'challenged' posters here who tried to come at me - they deleted all of what I would consider my "best work" too. Talking :censored: here is frowned upon, unfortunately for me, because it's one of my best talents. But it does feel like shooting fish is a barrel here anyway, so I'll go for my sport elsewhere, and post sincerely here for the most part. All message boards are basically the same though. Preaching to the choir or arguing with ignorance. There's usually a decent number of people to engage in serious discussion with anywhere, once you wade through the :censored:. It's just deeper on a board full of half literate truckers, but at least we've got a career in common, which means I respect most of the people here despite [I]whatever, [/I]to put it kind of nicely.
