Subject: Just how exciting, you ask?

Well, folks, I went over and took a look around. The place is pretty well dead, so this "Barista" character enjoys posting back and forth to himself, using two different handles, to form most of the traffic there. All I can say is, if you enjoy looking down on people, while claiming they have an inferiority complex for not recognizing your inherent superiority, it's the perfect hang-out. Judge for yourselves if this is the kind of place you want to join (taken from "Barista's" own posts)...

"There are already sites for inane prattle... Wouldn't it be nice to have a place to go and have stimulating informed conversations about world and national events without flame wars and ignorant demands for recognition of uninformed 'opinions' as equal to informed views?... The folks most ready to demand their right to 'free speech' are usually those who desire to proselytize hatred... the main purpose of the board is to provide a forum of those who would enjoy more meaty conversations to do so without being badgered or accused of affecting 'superiority.'... Those who hate can certainly find sites on which to spew their vomit. Since hate speech is not protected by the Constitution... accept that it is not allowed... Please understand the word mature is intended in an intellectual sense, not as XXX rated. So, please also keep your use of vulgarity, down if you can. Surely intelligent people can express themselves more accurately than with profanity?... Regardless one's age it is a pity when we become calcified in our thinking. This is intended as a place where people can explore issues, ideas, and their own thinking without anyone trying to drag them down to some imagined 'common level.' Shall we all wear little grey uniforms with red stars on our hats so some won't feel inferior?"
