Recently, I have observed undesirable trends within a lot of the posts here--most notably dishonesty/disingenuousness, inconsistency/hypocrisy, racism, and shallowness. This has led me to decide that a hiatus from posting in debate threads would be for the best, especially since I'm neither learning anything new nor finding most of the debates productive right now.
To be clear, however, the above trends are nothing new. I have seen them for as long as I have been a member of this forum--almost nine years now--and they tend to ebb and flow. At the moment, it seems that current events are causing an influx of said trends, making participation in debate threads a chore for me for the time being.
I will be hanging around the staff areas and possibly the discussion and joke forums as well, but debates are off limits indefinitely.
See you around!
