I agree with this much; there are obvious agents provoc. on the forum, two that I can be sure of.
However to condemn the entire forum for this seems counterproductive and bordering on spitefull. These statements condemning the forum are extreem, and you all know it. Think of some of the excellent posts you have read there. Think of the incredible resources represented by the Spartacus theads.
What ever happened to leading by example and magnanimity? When we attack other forums as a whole-- as opposed to stating our specific disagreements with them over specific points-- we only divide the public sphere further. This divided public sphere is just what enables the State to infliate Mafia done its just as lone nutism become untenable, with nobody pointing it out that this is a fall back position. Fragmented audieces with no common denominator: this is the best friend of coverup.
The question we all need to consider is this: are we letting likes and dislikes become more important than reknitting this public sphere? :bird:
