Yet Again Someone Asks. You know, when I blew off way too much time

at his blog I used to feel some sympathy for Duncan who, back then, tried to write substantial posts.  I often praised his posts on infrastructure.   I tried to encourage him to write on things he clearly had some interest in, interest enough to make an effort.    I figured it wasn't entirely his fault that the, then, very large and diverse commenting community there spent most of its time on lazy-assed bullshit.   As time passed, one after another of the adults among the commentators there stopped coming.   Tena,  NTodd,  Phila, so many others stopped commenting there.   I left for a long time during the 2008 primary season because I was disgusted by the slanders of the Obama bros against Hillary Clinton -  I pointed out that it was necessary for which ever Democrat got the nomination to be elected because we were, then, on the cusp of fascism, what with the appointments of Roberts and Alito by Bush II.  I don't remember if some dolt there was still telling me that "the first one to say 'fascist' loses" or was still horrified by by impiety towards the Supreme Court, the ACLU and the First as well as the Second Amendments.  

I went back briefly around 2012, had some more brawls with the same liars and idiots I'd had brawls with there, before.  Duncan banned me because I made fun of his announcement that he thought the "boring, stupid, puerile, pointless, inflamed sphincter of a movie"(my description back then) by "one of America's biggest professional assholes" (said that back then, too) Penn Jillette,  "The Aristocrats" was brilliant one night just about 13 years ago, to the day.   But as I recall,  I had announced earlier on the same comment thread that I was pretty much done with Eschaton because it had just gotten too stupid and counterproductive.   I'm not proud of that only because I should have done so a half dozen years earlier.  A handful of those I like still wasted their time there,  Hecate, Gromit, Derbes, . . . so I wanted to see what they were saying.   It wasn't worth it. 

Since then the only reason I paid attention to it has been because someone told me Simps was lying about things I'd said there.  I quickly realized no one there ever bothered to see if he was telling the truth, the only time I recall any of them came was back when I kept posing the questions that definitively debunk the "brain-only" materialist model of the mind,  I think it was back in 2015 - maybe I'll post those unanswerable questions again.  The crew at Baby Blue these days wouldn't even realize that was a definitive refutation of their house ideology.   They tend to be rather stupid and easily distractable and entirely unproductive.
