This thread is an example of a time in which you and I actually went back and forth on the very issue I am bringing up. I am surprised you do not remember it:
Failing to learn from history
I have found the experience I had in that thread over and over when reading your content. That is simply the only time I engaged you directly on the issue. In terms of posting lists of examples - it's not going to happen, at least not right now. I've got to go to work. However, to do this I'd have to read tens if not hundreds of pages of content and apparently analyze it more thoroughly than you did and again,
that's a waste of my time.
Regarding your polls, I think they support my view more than yours - people are happy to vote out of the "accepted message" because they are anonymous. However, take a look at the recent
"heated debate" thread. A topic about the way we converse turned into Ace vs. about 4 or 5 people on 3 different topics.
Both of these are merely striking illustrations. There are many more. You asked why some of us don't post here anymore (although I have never declared this to be the case until now) and offered up a lame and condescending explanation which I don't feel represents my lack of motivation. It isn't "being confronted with facts" that pushes me a way - I like that. It's the low ratio of reward to time spent that discourages me from hanging around much.
