When we have some real conservatives join the forum I look foward to debating them.

I and others have just come to the conclusion that trying to have a discussion with individuals who repeat the same talking points, post the same stupid photoshopped photo's, have an over inflated since of their own importance and insist on regailing the forum with their imagined exploits and accomplishments which taken as a whole make them the most educated, most successful, most athelitic, most sexual person to have ever walked the planet.

In other words we are tired of dealing with either a compulsive liar or a very delusional individual who obviously needs to adjust his meds.

Personally I think he has a Jesus Complex, after all he does say he is here to convert the young "My goal is to convert young liberals from voting Democrat, to voting Republican or Libertarian."

is the back and forth.

The subject of the boycott thinks so too, as long as you are the "back" and he is the "forth". As soon as the subject is bested or the subject of a mild joke, out comes the knives, either in that thread, or in other threads, where the insults fly.

I have yet, after years of trying, to have a conversation about serious issues with the boycott subject simply because that is not his goal. He will not honestly discuss anything. Period. When you engage him and concede even the littlest point, out comes the victory dance replete with insults. So the debate he claims to crave is in reality an Internet version of the Charlie Brown and Lucy football trick.

Every thread is a tired rehash of GOP/ pundit talking points, dishonestly presented in such a way to belittle and ridicule the participants or hijack the conversation into a flame contest. The "I'm rich and you're a loser" theme permeates his post. The obvious reason he participates is a heretofore undisclosed need to reinforce his self esteem at the expense of others. .

Like I said about we don't care if your conservative. Every system, mechanical, economic or political needs some form of restraint ,from the left or right, or the reaction will become uncontrolled with catastrophic consequences.

Politically, conservatives provide that function. We need them, they need us. Without the back and forth, no progress will be made.

In regard to the boycott subject, Its tiresome and we aren't playing anymore.

You make a compelling argument.

 I'm on the fence about this boycott. On the one hand It's pretty obvious that Ken will never concede any ground on any matter...ever. And therefore engaging him in debate in the first place is fairly pointless(although sometimes fun). On the other hand does it create more traffic to TYT? having people who post idiotic controversial comments probably does create more traffic.....
