| | I know this forum doesn't have long to live, but I've got a little something to say...
At times, the debates on this forum, both the topics and the participants, can get pretty childish. Sometimes I've been a little immature myself, given certain circumstances. But the fact remains that this forum is populated by some of the smartest damn people I know, taking into account both the internet and personal interaction. Why so many choose to waste that intelligence arguing over a decades old family spat that wasn't part of their family I'll never know.
Here's the thing: I tried, you see, to find another forum to participate in; another forum where intelligence reigned; where people would think about what they write and be willing to justify it (most of the time); where, as much as it can be abused here, people called a stupid idea a stupid idea. I've found no such other forum (and raised my blood pressure to dangerous levels exploring those damned bastions of ignorance).
I've agreed less and less with what's been said on Solo, both with the official stances and the posters. I think the premises of Oism are excellent but how they're applied to arguments is kinda shady to me. The whole pigeonholing, anti-life this, pro-life that stuff just doesn't work for me. But the ideas behind it, that is where the gold is. That is what I like.
Since I don't know where this site is going I can't say where I'll go, but if I can, I'll be with it in its new form. I'll still cause as much trouble as I can, but I'm sure as hell on your side at the end of the day.
