Your intent to lead people to see the world as you do is the reason. You probably/possibly view anything that doesn't agree with your line of thought as a 'tangent'. Good luck with that.
Couple of things...
1 - Why does everyone edit their posts? Can't they just say something and leave it be? You edit every single one of your posts as if you weirdly go back to them, look at them, re-read them, update them, and wait with baited breath for people to respond.
2 - My world-view is based on a variety of experiences having lived all over the world and in half the states of this country, in addition to the fact that I have family from both political extremes, some ultra wealthy, and some poor. What I know, is through debate and consideration of other's views.

No, Canada doesn't matter. They've never mattered. This is no joke. They elected the son of Fidel Castro. Pierre was not hetero (which means he could've been asexual or incapable, because SOMEONE will intentionally twist this to something else---yet again) and Momma did the deed with Fidel. Justin looks exactly like Fidel.

In the case presented, I edited to add the word "possibly" instead of just 'probably', but many times, it's because I have 2nd thoughts after a bit, or after re-reading what someone had posted, and more often than, while correcting spelling errors. I try not to edit after someone has replied directly to a post tho. If 'everyone' does it (as you claim above or even if just 'most') then why does 'the norm' apparently bother you?

As is mine, but what I think, believe, andknow are 3 different things as is the case for all but a very few select people in the universe thru out history and it turned out, that they only 'thought' they knew.
I unintentionally omitted the word 'not' from the 1st part of the reply above but decided not to go back and correct it and cause you even more consternation. It should have read 'more often than 'not'.

Possibly is a much better word to use.
I shouldn't use "know," ... and normally I would not. But I have a colleague / friend who is involved in the case, and I trust his opinion as I would my own life, so I'm about as confident as I could possibly be, short of actually being in the ladies head. I'm not finding it anywhere (haven't spent a lot of time on it), but she said God told her to do it. The state chose not to indict, regardless.
We've been down this road before. The fact that you are a previously banned member, who's returned under a different username, doesn't mean that everyone else here has multiple usernames.
The discussion on the other site was how the same people who are still here keep having problems despite almost nobody coming back under other usernames.
Causing Cliff continued problems.
If I returned after being banned that isn't multiple usernames, so stop being wrong. And operating multiple names is a violation. If you're Bradley Jay, that's a violation. Returning isn't. HyperV6 was banned as a different name. He returned. It was discussed on another site how you guys teamed on him because he didn't like getting gang attacked as goes on here. Cliff has posted that he needs more traffic and started a thread about allowing banned members who haven't done the unforgivable so are you now claiming Cliff's position as board owner?
The discussion on the other site was how the same people (who are still here) keep having problems getting along despite almost nobody coming back once they're gone. Why does nothing change including people who have so many problems over and again? and causing Cliff continued problems. The board was in a dire state not very long ago. If the members are the model, has the model been working?

I didn't follow you here until I started posting, but Tony I saw go about badgering. You have a peculiar mannerism of his in that way. Extremely intolerant of other people. Bradley Jay conducted himself that way to me out of nowhere and like you he complained in his post a certain behavior is common to people in the O/T.
So much for deadlines and cutoff rules and regulations. Imagine an election where there is not deadlines? 2020 could be the longest running election in history, recounting ballots every week until the ballots stop coming in. That would mean endless election campaign commercials I know we all love those
The "I VOTED" stickers would then read "I'M VOTING" and election day would then become the start of "election season" and some would even vote more than once, like getting hunting tags during hunting season. Vote once, or twice each day during "election season" till the last recount announces the end of the season.
Oh, and Patrick. My brief enterlude here was just to get a snapshot perspective from the O/T. See what the temp is.
Things are looking good. The fact that a person with Trump's beliefs can be elected by a group that won't be shouted down is hope that a better nationalist leader has a huge base waiting. Because it wasnt like that not long ago. SOME Republicans (we need more) have woken up a bunch and go along to get along Rs were the norm nationwide and in the O/T. They're still here and even in Texas. But I was right. I'm going to keep being right.

The more of your posts I read, the more I feel the need to floss the mental recesses of my mind. Know what I mean?
Sourmash, Patrick drives me insane most days, but I know where he stands. His views are rooted in his influences which lend him to the (much) more liberal side. But I will say (politely) that you are really the wildcard here. I'm not really sure where you stand half the time, and in many cases it feels like I'm talking to someone who is bi-polar. Many of your responses seem to be very stereotypical of Jews, which is a very 1990s-Democrat ideology (e.g. Jews secretly rule the world and banking...) and you also seem to have a lot of mildly odd things to say about world events. I will say though, you keep this board interesting, even if I don't agree with all your conspiracies!
It's fine. You're very respectful and I get what you're saying. It's something I'm accustomed to. Speaking in NON-literal extremes, the NAZIs think I'm a jew. The Jews think I'm a NAZI.
Cliff has posted that he needs more traffic and started a thread about allowing banned members who haven't done the unforgivable so are you now claiming Cliff's position as board owner?
Errrrrrrr. Nope.
I posted a thread about allowing banned members back because I believe in second chances. People can change over the years. And as long as it benefits our (my) beloved cars and they behave, I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be allowed back. I don't think for one second those few returning members would make any considerable impact on the traffic to PFF. What did make a considerable impact is when a certain facebook page stopped using "Pennock's Fiero Forum" as its name. People actually thought the facebook page was what people were referring them to.

I was using it as a verb. On computers, my default is Bing. On my phone, it's Google. I get good results with both, maybe 5% of the time I need to switch to Google for better Maps support. Point taken, but I don't think the curbing is nearly as political as you say. I think there is an intention towards less fake news. Is that a good thing, or should we trust our public to be educated enough to see through it, I can't tell you. I'd probably prefer the second, but... I've seen many apparently intelligent people fall for some fake crap on Facebook.
Don already provided rebuttals for the rest. Just because you see some grainy cell-phone video of a CCTV feed where someone does something that you can't 100% verify without context, doesn't mean there was fraud involved. Recounts verified counts.
