People get driven away from EVERY place, EVERY day. And it is rarely
toxicity that does the trick. Look at religion.....ANY
religion.....for a case in point.

Ranting is fine

sometimes

and disagreeing is fine.

nearly always.

But this
place slipped into just plain ugly from time to time.

So?

I know – leave if you don’t like the place….

Yeah.....good plan.....wouldn't want to stick around and do anything
to make it better.....right?

gee......i wonder if anybody wonders why this sort of **** happens.

hm......karma, i guess.

who never seen so many ****in' buddhists and hindus.

Hi there, Speaking of death prediction, I find it really odd that one
of the on-line death prediction services showed me the same death date
that I was foretold in my dream about a year ago. http://yourdeathdate.info
- I can’t explain this coincidence in any other way except that there
must be some kind of magic involved here.

Magical thinking. Not the same thing at all.

The good news is that you WILL die.

In the afternoon of that day, in the tumult of that storm, in a little house
on the island of Xaltocan, I came forth from my mother and began my dying.

....most of the daily fishing chatter has migrated over to any one of
a zillion moderated "forums" where toxic posts (perhaps some sadistic
torturing Mike Xyz, by exploiting personal foibles and weaknesses)
immediately get deleted.

This provides a veneer of civility. People learn that toxic posts get
deleted, so they don't make them in the first place. That doesn't mean
they are, in general, civil. Given access to a place like ROFF,
they'll quickly revert to Lord of the Flies behavior. The veneer of
civility is, however, better than the alternative. No?


No!

I state my case again, if your Socialist, censorship "forums" are so much
better than Usenet, why the hell are you still posting here?

That's right....I forgot, you have migrated over to any one of a zillion
moderated "forums" where toxic posts (i.e. postings that don't follow
party ideology...I mean forum standards) immediately get deleted.

The veneer of civility (censorship)is, however, better than the
alternative (free speech). No?

increasingly seems
to attract right-wing nut cases, among all the other deviant weirdos).

The civilized don't require veneer.
