Thanks to you folks, I never forget what's in store if I start fraternizing with native English speakers. The only exception being those with Ph.D.s.

Okay ... confess .. I don't speak opera. I did actually bust out the bucks to go see Cats. Totally hot chicks. They come out into the audience and flirt before the show starts. My GF was pissed. I do or did used to clean up well. The Belgian chick that sings part of Memory came and sat on my lap. Guess who didn't get any that night? That was as close to anything I was getting that particular night.
Far as drama rolls you know where that's going with me.

I thought you quit this board once...
Did you return so you could quit again?
I'm not really sure what your problem is... More than once you've expressed your contempt for the members of this board, yet here you are, again. If you don't like the DP members, go away. Go away and don't come back. You have that power.
I promise you, you won' be missed.
Go on... Leave...

For some strange reason, some group think hostility has welled up on this message board. It's not a problem. It's an (occasionally) interesting topic to study. When you figure it out, tell me and we will both know. In the mean time, just consider it entertainment like watching the Jerry Springer TV show. It certainly isn't about politics since my political views come from redstate.com and therightscoop.com . I also like to read dolartoday.com and cubanet.org , both of which are anti-communist sites. The best way I can explain it is what you might call clique dynamics. Anyone who doesn't function well in a clique won't do well at DebatePolicy.

No, the problem lies with you being a douchebag.
Most people don't like douchebags. You will find that to be a universal truth wherever you roam, and I'm sure if you stopped and thought about it, you already know this.
At some point you will mature enough to realize that the problem isn't everyone else; it's you. Once you take ownership of your social shortcomings, personal growth can begin and you can take steps to reduce your douchey ways - beginning with your misogyny.

The hostility is usually based on the member posting. It's a give and receive thing. If you act like an asshole, people will treat you like an asshole. If you come here and speak down to people, they are going to speak down to you in return. The hostility you see is well earned. The hostility you see is of your own creation. I think you should spend less time trying to analyze the board and it's members, and more time in trying to post without coming off as a misogynistic hater.

I've declared myself superior to all of you... Better than all of you...
