      But the funny thing is that I don't, that's just what you seem to perceive.

      Problem is, virtually anything I post that is not about America drops like a stone - because the Americans who make up the majority of posters on this Forum aren't interested, or are ignorant of the subject.

      Occasionally I even do a nice American thread, but again they seem to drop like a stone too.

      So, you and everyone else only see the threads critical of the US because they are the ones most talked about.

      It's almost like Americans seem to thrive on conflict?

      Why can't we all get along?

      I want to give Sloww a hug.

I noticed in my recent intro thread that I am not the only newbie so maybe some fresh input from newbies will minimize the spam. I am limited on speaking about Civ stuff, but I actually am quite good at doing my research and backing up my facts with source links.

        What kind of threads did you use to have here?

        You are welcome to start new threads. Post on things that interest you.

        And welcome to Apolyton.

          I remember the good old days, plenty of new interesting threads every day and the admin usually kept spam threads away. But these days it seems like spam threads rule the off topic and the on topic sections of the forum are looking like a wasteland.

          While I haven't been visiting here as much as I used to, I still lurk around from time to time. Ever since I got married, my time here has been limited. Almost 6 years of me not coming here regularly
          This space is empty... or is it?

            I tried. Unfortunately I found the thread drift got away from me. Oh well, at least I tried.

                      It's been part and parcel of the place since the beginning.
                      “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                      - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

                          Slavery was a proud American tradition 200 years ago, times change.

                          ACK!
                          Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                                Thread drift can be fun when it's not just pointless ad hominim attacks and counter-attacks. Those, I just close and move on to better threads or fora. It has nothing to do with [Civil]. There can be heat along with light. It's just that, when the thread drift is posts with nothing but insults, it's not even interesting to the ****-flinging monkeys.
                                The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty…we will be remembered in spite of ourselves… The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation… We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.
