10/10 The motd has been so much more pleasant recently, even though we're
in a really tense time politically. Has everyone just decided to
be better human beings suddenly? Political and other topics don't
seem to have the same nasty negative edge to them they did only a
week or so ago. It's much better this way. Thank you.
\_ It's probably just the absence of one or two key negative people.
\_ Tom's been gone. -- ilyas
\_ Tom, like you, makes occasionally reasonable, if unpopular
points about contentious topics. He can be very cynical
about it, but I have rarely seen anyone respond to his
arguments recently with anything but ad hominem bullshit.
Please restrict this sort of shit to the real anonymous
losers who troll the motd. Anyway, the motd's mainly
become more pleasant because even the negative, wrong
replies are at least decently reasoned and
articulated. -John
