I think it would be far more likely if every 19 out of 20 people who bothers reading this forum weren't convinced they'd get jumped on by multiple clowns with all insults and no content the moment they express a difference in interest and/or opinion, yes.

Always funny. Every time I make a post in PaRD I get multiple PM's and messages from people advising me against full sentence and unusual thoughts, will turn out as a trollstorm. I always find it great for drunken entertainment personally.

This forum, like every other forum on D2JSP Forums is what we make of it. And right now, this one is more about a collection of 12 people pissing on an electric fence and wondering who the current's gonna hit this split second than anything useful.

I'd like to see that change. Can't fix the stupid that's here, but you can make things interesting enough that they'll get bored and go lick windows.

We get new people pretty refularly and they get the same treatment they give.

We jump in you because you're genuinely dumb and unaware of how dumb you are

Posts about non us countries tend to be ignored.
The real problem is most americans think only america matters and most pard users are american.

Case in point. Rather than any useful additions, it boils down to weak insults and flames with zero basis in reality. You jump on everyone who disagrees with you because you're lazy.



Weak and intellectually dishonest. Americans are tuned into American news. You post in this forum relatively frequently, yet seldom bring up topics about Australia.

It's far easier to simply claim "it'll be ignored" and jump on a dogpile of "LOL ORANGE MAN BAD!" than it is to put forward useful information about other parts of the world.

Again, nothing has been said that is particularly useful, and the one person who tossed out a non-American subject in this thread was virtually ignored.

Thank you for proving my point.

Been posting here for a decade, posts made about australian politics drop off the front page within a day. i have made a bunch of them..
I don't "claim it will be ignored" i have literally seen it happen consistently..
Maybe don't just assume you know how things run around here when you drop in once every 6 months.

Heres an example, this post has more replies than the one i made about hong kong being under threat.

Remove the troll posts from this topic and only count serious replies such as your own, and this topic has fewer posts than that.

I think part of the issue with Hong Kong as a topic is that everyone saw it coming. The moment that UK released control and the threat of an international war over any attempt to seize it would result went away, the "China will take over" conclusion was already known.

Hong Kong held out far longer than expected, and it is ironic that it was during a virus spread from China itself that they used the distraction to get it done with very little protest.

There's also the fact that big tech and big media is super in bed with China due to the extreme customer base and doesn't wish to offend them by criticizing, and debates over Hong Kong and it's inevitable fate have been raging for over 20 years...

That it finally happened was news, but given that we all knew it was happening and had beaten the horse dead as a discussion topic years ago, it was not particularly interesting as a current political discussion.

Fair point though, overall, Matt.
