I remember getting into some VERY heated political discussion on ATOT before there was an ATPN.

I am scared and will never venture back into those territories again. They are crazy in there.

The quote in my sig is from P&N. There are some real whackos there, but it's fun at times! :D

P&N is so full of bile and vitriole that it serves no purpose. So many personal attacks and uneven moderation have rendered it a useless forum.

That's right you limp-wristed, OT-wienie! Come into P&N again and you'll end up taking a dirt-nap!

as your claims will be unsupported and fall like a rock :)

Don't forget there are many that can spin so much you'd swear the World is truly flat.

It worked on 50.9% of the Population last November <Shrugs>

I spend more time in P&amp;N than in OT. P&amp;N is a great place to learn how to Ignore certain people and Self Control. There are some Threads and Posters which/who make good points, but there is a lot of Trolling as well. It isn't much different than OT, the subject matter is just more controversial.

That's such a crock of crap - God knows Riprorin is given endless opportunities to post pointless troll threads. Shinerburke (who I like, but who has clearly lost his mind) has just gotten the board's conservatives to buy off on his conspiracy theories in re. the mods.

While I don't post alot in P&amp;N it is one of my favorite stops to get the news of the day. You will see just about every slant on the issues of the day, which can be far more entertaining than just cold reporting. A great many posters there are articulate and intelligent. Yes, some are just whacked.

Fine, then put me on it. :)

I think AT should develope some kind of designation for those of us who have stayed away from ATP&amp;N - as a form of recognition. I think it's been 45 days for me since I've last been there. I'd like my 45-day pin, please. :)

Explain to me how the smart hang out at P&amp;N? Your post is very contradictory. P&amp;N is full of a bunch of no nothing idiots who think they are intelligent. There is no worse character than that.

Yeah, there is a worse class of people: idiots who believe themselves to be intelligent and attempt to change the world. Thankfully, 99% of the more radical posters in P&amp;N will never attempt to do much more than whine.

Change your nick immediately, P&amp;N is for men of courage!

And women.

And trans-gendered.

P&amp;N is for cheapshot artists, as you well know. I thank you for running me out of that place once and for all. Fortunately there are still a few decent folks there . . .

You are very welcome. Now if someone will run me out of that place.

So I'm a cheapshot artist, huh? Well, if you are "calling me out" on that, if anyone is interested, here's my cheapshot that "ran DonVito out of that place": Link

You need to thicken that skin a little bit...frankly if your respect is so easily given, and so easily taken away, then I'll just do without it thank you.

You can't go more than 3 posts without mentioning the "jesus freaks" who voted for Bush, can you? Even in a thread started because someone was freaked out by P&amp;N, you bring your same drivel. Good job. :roll:

I sense my thread about how bad P&amp;N is has drawn them out of their parents basements and has led them here. * Runs and hides* :)
