All the anonymous trollers do not seem to have a "credfibility" problem on which they are being called out!!!!
I just want the newsgroup to return to its original intent - metalworking.
There are plenty of political newsgroups available for the B.S. that is being posted here...
Problem is that MOST normal people have no interest in going over to the political newsgroups to swap insults, so the trollers - tired of saying "Oh, YEAH!" to each other - bring their tripe here to a larger audience in hopes of getting thei agendas accepted.......
Anyway, even gunner mostly doesn't do the crosspost thing anymore. Yeah, we have the * idiot who seems to be as bad as the cliffster in that regard, but those two are the worst.
Honestly I used to try to split the middle ground on rcm, but things got so bad I gave up. So now I lurk and make the occasional technical post. Once in a while the political situation in the US simply overwhelms and I feel obligated to comment. So in that regard you are 100% right. You can bundle me in there with gunner and I couldn't disagree.
Exc-u-u-u-se me for wanting to go onto a metalworking newsgroup to talk METALWORKING - of all things! - without having to wade through dozens of off-topic, political bullschidt threads that aren't even marked "OT"...
Just because I'm able to go onto several technically-oriented message boards that manage to stay on-topic, I MUST be absolutely bonkers to expect a usenet newsgroup that is marked "metalworking" to be mostly about, er...., well....., metalworking!!!! .......
....not political debate.
What was I thinking?????
Should I go to rec.radical.politics to discuss the merits of three-way machines versus individual lathes and millers?
Could somebody, PLEASE?, send me a translated newsgroup subject matter list??
Since the political discussions are, obviously, here on rec.crafts.metalworking, where are the metalworking threads?
I am, obviously, an unrealistic dreamer to think this way, and I MUST be some sort of rabblerouser to even express my thoughts.....
........after all, doesn't the term "metalworking" stir up the most powerful of political urges in everybody???
Yep.....I must be the one who is screwed up!?!?!?!?!?
I have been plonking the regular flatulating gasbag politicos. Feeding their flatulence is what they crave, and when they don't get it, they go under another bridge.
