It all just feels like word salad.

I’ve noticed that with a few of the returnees/“new” guys. They think substance=word count, and that the best way to answer a question is just to repeat the same position with more words without actually adding anything substance.
It’s basically this exchange:
“I like pepperoni”
“Why do you like pepperoni?”
“I like pepperoni a lot, I think pepperoni is the best. I have eaten other things and I really like pepperoni. Pepperoni is good, to me. And I bet if you polled other people they would say they also like pepperoni. I’ve had ham, which is not pepperoni, and I like pepperoni.”
“OK but why pepperoni”
“I have answered that!!”
And then just throwing socialism around, I guess. No substance, none of it really means anything or comes close to honest conversation. At least BoLevi is honest that he’s just here to work out his own argument and Mel just to troll. But then you’ve got others who you just have to imagine truly have never given a second thought to their opinions and have no idea to produce more than word salad.
