Why not Tooth? You rate.
And by the way, there are 3500 posters here every day, that's solid for months and years, and about 100 people newly registering each day. That's TROUBLE. Therei's 120,000 screen names and 3500 posting daily. The "inventory" is out of control.
FR, TOMORROW, should shut down and we should all re-register with at $30 entrance fee. I'm in! Let's clean the intestines, all the multiple screen names, out of the system here. This is GAME TIME, the most important political election year in our lifetimes. I wanna know who's playing in this important forum in this historic political year.
Jim, time to be bold. Everybody here starts January 21 or later. Every name here has a stake in this forum's success, whatever their political ideology or personal style. If 2500 of us want to pay $30, that's $75 grand for next quarter and we'll see what happens.
Otherwise, this place is going to implode. I see it coming.
What does that mean exactly? The public square is a noisome and often somewhat raucous place. Some tolerance of that is what public squares are all about. They are not meant to be drawing rooms of an exclusive club. That said, a civility of manners should be the norm in Jim's house. In that sense, I think this place does a great service. It teaches many posters a bit more about how to disagree without being disagreeable. It teaches them how to argue their points, and marshall their arguments. That is a benefit of Jim's house, that is not appreciated as much as it should be. He helps many of us to become more effective citizens, and for that I salute him.
