Then let my comments stand as a sign of frustration at how dominant the General forum is currently in traffic on talk-polywell right now.KitemanSA wrote:Sorry, bad logic.
The main interface I use for looking at talk-polywell is the "View posts since last visit" link, as that's where you go to see, well, new stuff. Finding anything in the archives is very difficult, but that's the nature of fora software like this.
If I had joined within the past couple of weeks, rather than a couple of years ago, my first impressions of the forum would have been dominated by posts that, too me, appear heavily "right-wing": full of AGW-denialism, claims of the evil government takeover by Obama and company, global anti-American conspiracies, the irreparable harm caused by Democrats, various bits of argumentus ad hominem by calling Opama and Democrats "socialist" and "communist", etc. The exact details escape me because I've learned that my blood pressure is best controlled by ignoring the "General" forum to the best of my ability.
If I were new here, with my political opinions and leanings, I would probably have been driven away by the apparent tenor of the General forum. I would have been left with the impression that the board was radically right-wing and political, and not technical, despite the advertised claims it was a polywell fusion site. As I would have been looking for information on polywell fusion with no desire to argue politics, I would have left.
It makes me wonder how many others have felt unwelcome or driven off by the political content of the General forum.
