I don't deny that, apart from the bottom dwellers, there are some more or less lucid people here. But you can't really describe Jersey Girl's thread as particularly balanced, I don't think.

No, not balanced...but quality discussion for the most part.

I think the same can be said for many of the threads at MAD as well.

That is probably the best lefthanded backstabbing compliment I've ever seen you make.

She didn't say it was balanced. She said it was serious.

I'm aware of that.

I love this board. Where else could we see Pumpo the Clown, a tenured professor at an esteemed university, let his true character shine through the layers of Mormon lard he carries around? It amuses me to no end to see the same person who cons others into believing he's a serious academic muck around in the mud with all the pigs (true to his nature, of course). The perfect exmaple of Mormonism manifest. I love it.
