    I have been on one Forum guy for many years

    it's interesting that I learned China and Iran have blockaded the Strait of Hormuz on this forum

    But the MSM and my other forum doesn't know anything about it

    This is unfortunately common...we have a community of Russian employees that do indeed post propaganda here. In time you will learn to know and dismiss them.

    It is quite frustrating to see our nation becoming ignorant enough to accept and believe information as truth that is so easily shown otherwise very quickly with minimal effort. This seems to be the result of the "Fake News" campaign of our current President and his minions being effective on a part of the population prone to subterfuge due to limited critical thought and blind devotion out of anger. I am unsure if this can be remedied as it is now ingrained and these people have lost the will and ability to recognize a reality they do not want and the end result is not clear, but I do not imagine it as pleasant for anyone.
    Fortunately I do believe our nation and it's system based Constitution to be very strong and have self correction as a built in safeguard against such a thing but it will take time and effort, especially with one of the balancing mechanisms crippled or even corrupted. November will show me if this correction has begun or will be further delayed.

    Interesting, if you're still active I'd like to hit you up with a PM having faced similar issues to you as well as having formulated my own responses. I'm glad I browsed around this thread.

    Hello. I'm baaaaaack hopefully. Lost my icon to this forum in a computer crash and for one reason or another just didn't think to re-establish it and as the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind and all that. But having become frustrated with the too aggressive moderation at another site I was active in, thought I'd give this place another shot. Already enjoying reading some threads so we'll see how it goes.

    I was here for a little while, it was dead, then it got spammy, so I left and now I'm back again.
    I see some changes for the better but I also see a lot of troll bait, but apparently that's a problem on almost all forums, so there's that.

    I'm the same person on pretty much any forum, so if you know me, glad to see you, and if you don't, hope we can talk some. I'm not here to "win" a prize or amuse myself, I am here to learn, grow and discover and to maybe (if I am lucky and really good) inspire others to do the same.

    Cheers ;)

    I might know you from another forum. Do you like coffee?
    Are you related to the Checkered Demom, per chance?

    I think Checkerboard is likely from another forum where I post regularly and yes, I do host a Coffee Shop there. So I know you? By another name I presume.

    Yeah. I used to post at the coffee place all the time. It should have its own forum cuz it's great. I got banned there by a clique of elites who disagreed with me.

    I was just joking about checkered demon.

    :) In retrospect it was not our common forum where I met Checkered but another forum where I have posted quite a bit. It was that forum that I was looking for an alternative for when I stumbled onto this one again. No place is without its clueless, numbnuts, and trolls but this one seems to have some pretty good common sense going. At least discussing a topic is occasionally an option here without it being completely derailed by those who don't intend to allow any real discussion happen.

    Funny, that was a hilarious cartoon, but I've never used that as a handle.

    Cheers ;)

    You I think I might know, but I can't remember if I knew you as Foxfyre.
    I'm the camera operator guy. Hope that sounds familiar ;)

    Maybe I should have stopped in at the coffee forum more often?
    But anyway I try to be Checkerboard Strangler everywhere, unless the name has too many characters. Geez whiz, you'd think they would make an exception for me, right? :laughing:
