There are some very real obsessions obvious on this forum

Cops, unions, just to name two more, there are others. It's fine to voice an opinion but you are right, certain people do get obsessive on certain subjects.

4 or 5 years ago, I noticed a poster, I don't remember his name, haven't seen his singular comment in a long time. Every thread that had the word union in it, he would comment, " I hate unions". I checked his posting history back then and about 80% of his comments consisted of, "I hate unions". Now it's just fine if someone "hates unions" but when one has a need to make that same comment day in and day out, that's an obsession.

Another posts every anti cop article he can find, he is sporadic about it though, he'll go for days without posting one and then several more days plastering the place with them. Again, allow me to say, if you have a thing against cops, that's cool. Must one be so obsessive about it?

Yes, I'm aware that I don't have to click on the articles and I can assure you that I don't. Just pointing out to you that there are obsessive/compulsives here.

Some posters are "anti", they live to post negative answers, no matter what someone else says. 'It's colder than a well diggers butt here in central Illinois today". Answer - "Well, define, well diggers butt!", Whatta ya mean cold? what the heck do you call cold?"

It’s pretty easy to look at history and discover which posters are tunnel-visioned on one issue to the exclusion of anything else. Those are the posters I am most likely to ignore.
