I’m guessing it’s the former.
I don’t think so. If you really thought that, you’d be long gone. Nobody stays to yell into an echo chamber. The fact that you spend your valuable time writing here is proof in itself that you do not think this is an echo chamber.
The fact that you accuse Rand of wanting to run an echo chamber is proof that you think he’s persuadable by that argument — that he would in fact be dismayed if he were creating an echo chamber, and would want to take steps not to. So you don’t, actually, think he wants to run one.
Yeah, Curt, I always wonder. See, people like you are only capable of having conversations with people who think exactly like you do. Where the hell is the fun in that?
Go ahead, start with the frothing at the mouth, I’ve been watching you do that for years.
Carl Pham, psychic. He’s read the entrails, and after a pause to wash his hands he’s back to tell me just what I think.
No, all joking aside, I’ve actually been waiting for the day I get blocked around here, despite my best efforts to keep it civil. So far I’ve been proved wrong, which is a pleasant surprise if you can believe it. I’ve been reading the comments around here for a while…as I mentioned in another thread, I came here originally for the commentary on the space program and whatnot…but only recently decided to glue a target to my forehead.

So I was right, eh? I can see why you might call me a psychic. But actually it’s just a little common sense.
But the fact that your experience comes as a surprise to you should make you stop and think. What incorrect preconceptions and boneheaded prejudices did you start with, that led to your incorrect predictions of what would happen?
It’s amazing that these guys are rotating between insulting everyone here, whining that they’re being oppressed, and finally expressing suprise that they haven’t been banned, merely argued with by Carl Pham.
Well, there were people making explicit calls for them to be banned, so maybe not so amazing.
I never call for people to be banned. Indeed, I’ve always pleaded for people not to be banned.
If their hostility or error-seeking ways are informed and creative, their insults amusing and novel, then they simply add to the spice of the debate. If, on the other hand, they’re ignorant and their writing dumb and incoherent…why, they just make juicy targets. Fish, barrel, et cetera. Fun!
Carl, you really need to get your own blog. Imagine what fun we’d all have (and educatin’ we’d get) if you were the top billing.
Phil, insult is in the eye of the beholder. Your mileage may vary. And I, at least for one, have neither claimed to be oppressed nor cared about being banned. Ban me, who cares.
I just had an awful day. Carl, thanks for making it a bit cheerier. Also, I just picked up Sarah Palin’s book. It seems written in her own voice.
How odd that the threadjacking trolls think their presence here makes this site better, but if the commentariat from here were to invade their own echo chambers the newcomers would be banned and their comments deleted so fast we’d have to doubt our own existence.
Just ignore ’em, guys. They live to be banned.
I’ve never been a troll, and will never be a troll. I’m not here to get you guys all riled up, and I’m not playing devil’s advocate. And any insults I make are only in retaliation or self defense.
My “incorrect preconception” was only half-incorrect. I assumed this blog was filled with cynical right-wingers who would not stand for any dissenting opinion among them. I’ve been proved right on the first count, and am pleasantly surprised that I was wrong about the second.
As for boneheaded prejudices, I might ask for your list. I’ve been called all sorts of names so far, merely for disagreeing. I haven’t seen anyone else in these threads asked for their age or their qualifications, although many of their comments contain specious arguments and numerous grammatical errors.
Most Boomers (like myself) are too young to remember the Dixiecrats, and we’re the biggest plurality of voters. This “Republicans are Dixiecrats” hogwash fails to take the later generations into account. Our coming of age was radically different from that of the Dixiecrats or their contemporaries.
Someone said Republicans are Dixiecrats?! Who would be that ignorant? Holy moly, what do they teach in schools these days?
Indeed, it’s like having the Washington Generals on the premises. Rand should pay them to post.
