Huh, I never knew you had a Wiki.

I do agree with everything you said, but just to prevent another "help, Neo is badgering me", it's best to let that thread die.

Wow, do you get those a lot? I mean, I'm not surprised, but I can't help but feel a bit guilty.

Besides, it's rather evident that you're talking to a wall - which is a really ironic statement when referring to Trump supporters.

I see what you did there.

And you're right, debate isn't a solution to current trends, as a useful debate requires an intelligent--or at least a reasonable--participant on either side, which is difficult to find when talking to Trump supporters.

Yeah, that's one thing I was thinking. I was trying to not say too much, because that would defeat the purpose of saying I wasn't going to keep arguing. But I was also thinking that if the left wasn't so bloody obsessed with debate, the alt right wouldn't be as popular as it is today. Debate itself is just a theatre 9 times out of 10, but at least it's usually harmless, not so much when reactionaries start getting a wider audience & an appearance of legitimacy from it.

However, as the impartial administrator, I can't really say that it's necessary to keep trying to educate Trump supporters in hopes that they'll finally see the truth and move away from the racist bleached orange.

Yeah, I get that.

(Although there is something to be said that President Trump would still be better than President Pence ... It's like choosing between the plague and cholera *sighs*)

What worries me in general is that the GOP candidates seem to be getting nuttier & nuttier.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that in a less public place than the Avatar Wiki. I don't really mind people knowing that I side with you on this issue, but on the other hand, I really, really don't want the drama that comes with that.

I appreciate that, it's actually pretty rare I log in to find updates from Wikia that aren't related to either someone I've pissed off or a thread like "Why do Avatar people have blue & green eyes?" popping up.

I understand that sentiment, there was actually a point in which I deleted one of my responses, thinking it might be best if I just ignored it, & certainly would've been easier. But the idea of letting those statements go unchallenged didn't sit right with me. I'd realized a few posts in that Saitama was too deep into the Kool-Aid to persuade, but I wanted to send some kind of message. And on a more petty note, I'd found his tendency to prod me into TL;DR debates bordering on irritating before this, so I did rather enjoy being able to flip the tables.

Seriously, where you keep finding the energy to continue debating these kind of issues baffles me :-p

A deep well of rage.
