That's why politics are discussed here and not on AK. Some of the niceness on AK would be broken up by the topics that are addressed here.

Friendships can be very fragile and easily broken by the discussions fostered here. I now understand the need of a separate nom de plume in this place. I used to think otherwise (my thread about multiple personality disorder is an example). So, go for it. So if you're a'lurking from AK? Leave your AK name at AK and register here with a different name. Pete can handle the details?

that sums it up,there is a kinda good ol boys vibe going on for the most part and some are tolerated and others just plain get pounded in the ground and some are timid about coming into that atmosphere.For the most part everyone is polite and cordial.but you can sure tell when someone has ruffled someone especialy if it is the wrong person doing the ruffleing.I learned my lessons when I first came on board it is not to bad you just have to leave your emotions at the door ,for the most part.

I don't see the traditional 'Good Ol' Boys network thing here, I have some pretty deep disagreements with a couple of members here and they aren't wingnuts, see Finn and me in re: public employee unions. It's the words and ideas expressed that I judge someone's character on. If some teasipper drops in with a bag full of talking points straight off of Faux Noise and from Glenn Beckistan? I'm happy to badger them over it.

I still think that people who want to have multiple personalities across different fora are a little chickenshit, if used duplicitously. No offense but that's just me.

I thought that you suggested different screen names at AK and here.

No I said I understood the motivation, see underlined above for further explanation. I thought I was being pretty clear Don.

Well, I'm quite capable of being dense.

Anyway, anybody that knew me over at AK likely wouldn't be surprised by the positions I take here.
