ooooo
I think that bit of relish had a piece of sour apple fall into it somewhere along the line.

I cannot condemn anyone just because you or Zoot find they have a posting style you object to.

No. I have an orange tree, a grapefruit tree and a lemon/lime hybrid tree.

There was, however, in Decatur, at Wadsworth Elementary a crab apple tree. Sure you weren't passing by there?

It seems to me in the genre of political discussion boards, they fall basically into two sub-genres.

Type A is where the community consists two polar opposite sides of somewhat equal size that debate/argue/yell at each other over the issues and real research is required in order to remain viable.

Type B is where the community is essentially one side, where real debate rarely occurs but lots of mutual back slapping goes on.

Though type B may have token opposition, that opposition exists really and a target board for abuse rather than a sounding board for introspection. It's rather more peaceful because a huge majority of one type dominates any (if there is any) opposition.

Since Aantares is a board described here as a type A more than a type B, there has to be a certain amount of tolerance for the vagaries percieved by one side from the other. There will naturally be frictions among the fractions, so to speak, and when one is angry (or frustrated over wasting time) one must deal with that in as gentle a manner as possible, or in as rough a manner as permitted by the TOS.

Zoot won't be gone long... he's the type who finds neither satisfaction in being surrounded by a slew of "yes people" nor victory in stomping on the defenseless and those are the only activities found on the type B board.

I know... another hard question... almost rhetorical...

There are also Hikikomoris who may choose this lifestyle for purely cultural reasons.

Balderdash. You have no idea why the word was selected. The Wiki article states:

I do. You chose that word because you wanted to be a mean sunuvabeach and get away with flinging an insult but were too afraid to say it plainly.

that Charlie monopolizes this board

The word describes reclusive behavior and is in no way, shape or form "vile" as you described it. Are you suggesting that Charlie monopolizes this board from an Internet Cafe?

In addition to whining and making trouble for others, you've flung more insults on this thread than anyone. Perhaps Charlie chooses his lifestyle...Ever consider that? And your having a coniption over it says more about your attitude towards him than anyone else's.

Most of unincorporated Dekalb County is designated as "Decatur" even though it's not actually within town of Decatur, the County seat. I love the town, but I am quite sure I did not venture into that part of it.

See the thing is, what is it inside a person who desires nothing more than to inflict psychological hits with little insult darts on another member? Doesn't that say something about that member? And the target... a person who never fires like darts in return... what kind of hero attacks a member who never fires back?
