I joined this forum over 14 years ago and have posted, on average, about 1.5 messages per day since then (almost exclusively in the OT area). I've pretty much stopped posting here completely now (my last post prior to this one was four months ago), and CliffFletcher is the primary reason why I left. Even though I have him on my ignore list, practically every political thread in the OT forum is ruined by Cliff's incessant rants about "identity politics" and "the SJW menace". Just ignoring him isn't good enough because once he decides to grace a thread with his presence, the entire conversation becomes dominated by his posts and people responding to him.
I still check in and lurk here every now and then to see if anything has changed and the quality of discourse has improved, but recent posts in this thread confirm that my decision to stop participating on the CP forums was the right one.
