I have a political question...

[GimpyIntellect]

I'm wondering if this has ever happened in the history of internet message boards.

Two people are on the opposite ends of a political, heated argument.

Suddenly, one person says: "You know what? I think you're right!"

 

[spacekowboy]

Not on this board it hasn't.


It goes more like
"The sky is blue...."

"No it isn't. You're a racist. Go kill yourself"

It actually happened on The Guardian Comment is Free site once on an Israel/Palestine discussion. All the other posters were so shocked that the thread was entirely derailed by people jumping on the bandwagons of whether he was being sarcastic or not. There's a twisted symbolism there somewhere.

But that's the only one I've ever seen. Almost all discussion boards aren't actually discussions, but a series of self-contained monologues.

I remember getting a tweet about that back in May of 2007.

It was such a groundbreaking moment it arrived before Twitter did.

I saw Ishmael capitulate in a debate once. But I think they were discussing brands of Tequila.

GimpyIntellect? I wonder if that's our own delusional Luke.

Uh, what?

May the force be with you.

Don't mind Vette.

He's at that stage of life where he starts flinching at moving shadows in the corner cast by flickering lightbulbs and gnaws on his cane like a beaver whenever a 40-something woman jogs past him on the street.
