Who here thinks that Poly was starting to get more civil in recent months?

    It has seemed much more civil to me, but I can't rule out the possibility that it has something to do with putting Ben on ignore.

      Somewhat more civil in that few are left that challenge the KH-Drake-Asher triumvirate groupthink, but when it does happen a good heap of bile is poured on that poster.

      I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

        It's not my fault that I'm so good at winning at the Internet.

          And it's not my fault that the poster who created this DL is so good at winning at the Internet.

              And? KH/Asher aren't that important, you could always put them on ignore and still post.

              I just hope you enjoy BKs' cvompany in your thread.

                I forgot Drake doesn't really exist.

                  I can't believe you were all fooled for that long.

                    It took them forever to figure out NGR's true identity. "Drake", despite some bone-headed background details, was a much better deception.

                      It's not groupthink. I'm pretty sure we all disagree on many things. We've even debated them here recently.

                          Ben, Sloww, zakuDL, Oerdin, and a host of others. They all deserved it, btw.

                            I've decided BK doesn't exist either. He's the Catholic RoboCon.

                                Seriously, for a few months I actually noticed a thawing of relations between the posters who remained loyal to Poly. It was almost as if we were emerging from under the dark cloud of disruptive and contrary posters...

                                People were praising each other, arguments less partisan - that sort of thing.

                                However, recently, things seem to be sliding back to their bad old ways...
                                You're one to talk - you usually lack civility on this site.
                                A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
