Mod post

So I guess having two absentee moderators is pretty much worthless. I'm taking nominations to add another couple to the list. I apologize for all but abandoning LJ.

The value is in non-stupid people seeing them torn down. Analogous to swing voters, there's a large class of "swing morons" who are in constant danger of falling under the sway of irredeemably stupid people, but who can be saved by seeing their ideas ripped to shreds.

So you're not interested in communicating with irredeemably stupid people, but you are interested in communicating with these so-called "swing morons?" And I take it, by your statements here, you don't think there are even any "swing morons" here?

How many of these "swing morons" do you suppose there to be, relative to the "irredeemably stupid?" What differentiates them from one another? What benefit is actually gained by tearing down "stupid ideas" for "swing morons"? Do they "swing" to a smarter idea? Or do they remain just as susceptible to stupid ideas?
