I'm not disgusted with reality. I'm disgusted with tireless back and forth drilling of the same old stuff by the few that care about it, to the detriment of the silent majority who doesn't mind a nice OT, but couldn't give fewer fucks about racist (un)subtleties than an annoyed honey badger.

Wise words. However, since the average poster on here seems to me politically to lie somewhere between casually racist and far right white supremecist, I doubt the wise words of those with a differing point of view are either welcome or at all digested.

Quite a few earlier posters totally disengaged long ago. It really isn't difficult to disrupt a discussion thread.

Too true. I have always visited this place because of a belief in Bitcoin and for a long time it's been my only connection with a whole bunch of other people who I thought were here for that too.

But these days I often feel I need decontamination after reading a few pages - and that's even with a fairly large ignore list.

The WO is often brilliantly off topic, but racist propaganda is not what I am looking for, especially from people who aren't even Bitcoiners and probably think they're winning because no-one has yet shown them the door, they often still get given the time of day and they quoted like they have a point that is relevant here.

It's like this:

I wouldn't stay in a drinking joint with a bunch of people at the other end of the bar with swastikas on their jackets talking loudly and ignorantly about Jews or Muslims (or women, come to that). Partly because it would disgust me and I would probably end up getting into a fight with that sort of pondlife - it runs in my family.... Mostly because I would hate anyone to judge me by the company I keep.
