Pessimism v. Optimism

[kandrathe]

I was optimistic that this thread would not turn into a Kandrathe/Jester/Pete/etc political discussion that we have in every other thread. :D
I've now become a pessimist and believe that all threads in The Lounge sub forum will turn into the same discussion. :P
;):P

I'm sorry GG. I tried to restrain myself, but I couldn't do it. Jim hit a nerve, and it was late and I got into a free thought zone where my brain just dumps into the keyboard. A simple idea turns into a manifesto. I'm optimistic it will remain a positive conversation though. Think of it this way... We get to recycle and reuse an otherwise dead post.
