Did he graduate?

This thread asking about where a great poster went is literally a prime example of why people leave.

Political BS and trying to tie it into every single conversation will one day do this forum in (or cause it to be widdled down to the same dozen people angrily posting in circles).. which is too bad because it is a great place with a ton of shared knowledge.

I would say this:

There’s alot going on in the world and very few places for people to discuss it in a civil manner. So it bubbles under the surface, then a talking point or maybe a smart ass comment triggers that under tow. Some people get offended or cant handle it and block it out, others want more and push the button. We all have our own mechanisms to handle it right or wrong. But in the end to suppress it at every sociol interaction and platform is not something that’s healthy.
