I actually forgot I had an account here, not sure why I didn't hang around. I wasn't really unhappy with the place, maybe just cranky.

Anyway, I'm a fiscal conservative, social moderate. Registered independent. I think the left/right spectrum is less important but it gets more attention. I'm pretty much anti-establishment, anti-neocon. I believe in independent thinking and I think it's an attribute that is sorely lacking in our society.

I'm a long-time member of another forum from it's inception. I won't mention it but I'll probably know a few of you since I've been kind of a forum junkie for a while now. That other forum has shifted heavily to trolling and heckling. I just got burned out with all of this nonsense. When you can't carry a conversation without being trolled or heckled, it gets old after a while.

I'm hoping this forum is different in some respects and I expect it to be. Good and bad, for my tastes so I need to be patient. I do like trading jabs but I also want to see folks using independent thought and judgment. I have little tolerance for rhetoric, canned "cookbook" thinking and flame baiting although I'll do it sometimes but it doesn't define me. I'm hoping the forum platform isn't micromanaging also. Nothing worse than being treated like a kindergarten kid.

Anyway, that's my story.
 
Sounds plausible. Welcome. I hope you trade subliminal jabs. That's always fun. I'm a Green, but I voted for Trump. Hard to believe. Lots o' that goin' 'round here.
