Historically a2k has been a place of enlightened discussion.
When I impugn gun control in a liberal forum,

EXPECT rejection from the audience, b4 I write the post.
If I were not ready for a fight, I 'd not be controversial.

Most of A2K seems to consist of an elderly, liberal, "in-group". Scattered among these folks are several, seemingly very-ill individuals, who complain and complain about their poor eyesight,bad teeth, hypo- thyroid, lumpy lung(s),lumpy breast(s), swollen feet ,sore throat and numerous, other weird ( or so it seems)"pathologies". They have nothing else in their lives so they go online and chat ( for years) about their poor health, evil doctors, and expensive medications. Their situation in life has become something like a slow death that never seems to terminate.
NO!, the "in-group" is not recent. the liberals from the old ABUZZ are still here on A2K calling other posters, pigs, racists...etc and promoting their "in-group" agendas. An example, is their non-ending attacks on P. Rosa.
OmSigDavid is probably the only sane and intelligent poster on A2K and thank God, he doesn't belong to any "in-group".
( Stay tuned, as the "in-group" reads the above post and gets ready for the next attack!)
