I'll interact with those I choose, with or without your approval. I'm sorry that being asked not to post mischaracterizations of my positions is so unpleasant...

I believe that anyone who disagrees with the majority, vehemently or otherwise, should act with the basic level of decency and courtesy necessary for...

First bold bit: I'd say "frustrated by your tendency to respond to what you think I believe, even after I've clearly stated that I believe something...

Not a new location issue--I had the VPN in place and all was working here. Well, anyway, shutting off the VPN has solved the issue. It also brought back...

[WI-Tom]

Can't do it, eh? Going to cling to your vision of what it is you think I believe, even after I've openly disavowed it?

What should I do...

Forget the BDSM gear and AKs. All I need is her "Tax the Rich" dress, and her usual level of competence and intelligence. Oh, and the "ideological...

Here's the whole house (Greenhowe B&B in Glaisdale)--probably my favorite accommodation of the trip as far as how nice the spaces were. The photo...

Baxter,

you'd infer a belief in an anti-progressive conspiracy if I so much as posted "I don't like applesauce." Try responding...

What makes income so special that you are willing to tax it, but not tax, say, wealth?

We tax property--house/land--already. I'd like to...

Her own party views her as a threat, not an asset. It'll never be her.

But why was it working without the Cloudflare verification for so long, and suddenly it's not working? And why multiple verifications each time I sign...

[WI-Tom]

I'm using a VPN, though. Is Cloudflare good enough to spot my VPN? A week ago, it never popped up when I logged in. Now it makes me click 2 or 3 times...

I still see the WHAT'S NEW button in the top menu. I'm on Chrome on a laptop.

There's also a "New Topics" button in the sub-menu...
