One guy on the left of this site one guy on the right both get wound up. They need a break.

Or duke it out elsewhere.

Reckon the rest of us could argue debate in a civil way.

I would enjoy doing that someday Woodland.

If you don't like the too and fro of social media discussion sites then find somewhere else to express your point of views. We know alot of you don't like being challenged with other points of views. If you don't like it too bad.

I think they’re just questioning why you are on a farm forum yet you have never started a farm related thread or rarely post on one ?
Just trying to simplify it for you
Hope that helps ?

Initially I used to believe pointing out what I viewed as mistakes backed up with actual fact would actually bring people around to my viewpoint. What I have discovered from my own experience is that when somebody continually tries to push his opposing viewpoint in my direction it simply makes me more hardened in my own view. There is no doubt that social media discussions create more disagreement and division. Chuck2, you are a perfect example, to some extent I appreciate you posts because it reminds me why I would never support the NDP or for that matter how much I disagree with left of centre political thinking. So yes you are providing a service just not the one you think you are.

So are you asking all the posters on this site to post only ag issues and no politics, social issues or covid?

How you going to enforce that?

And energy is a commodity. I am a consumer and a producer so as I see it it fits under commodities.

I have an ability to scroll over long cut and paste posts after I get the basic understanding of the article.

What I look for is both sides to debate what is said and try to make an informed decision on the conversation.

The right isn't always wrong and the left isn't always right.

Most are somewhere between to keep their sanity.

Unfortunately, for the most part, everything talked about affects farmer's bottom line in one way or another.

Bottom line I can pick and choose the threads I want to participate in. Its pretty good overall and I don't have to go for coffee anywhere to talk or read (listen) .

The local dealerships should have learnt a long time ago free coffee is the best investment they could make , too bad the salesmen don't get out of their office to listen.

How about a page is creating for just commodity marketing discussion? There is one already?

I almost miss the old wheat board days when you argued the superiority of the CWB over the bad open market. At least it was marketing discussion. Hell why don't you tell us why we should all buy memberships in the NFU? That would be a fun discussion. You should be broadcasting some of the kooky ideas that the NFU want. It would be more entertaining.

Fine with me. Because occasionally I get quite a bit of support and probably quiet agreement. And I don't expect much support at all on this site full of the most vocal rightwingers anyway. But it never hurts to point out their BS, lies and hypocrisy. If you don't like that then set up your own site of the like minded.

Agrisilly is like going to coffee shop to discuss the days events and news. Do you only let the guys that you agree with say anything? Good luck with that! LOL

I struggle to understand why Chuck, Tweety etc. chose an agricultural site to come and spread their wisdom?
What did we do to deserve their expertise?

Considering that the topics they are so passionate about never seem to have any relevance, or even any attempt to connect with ag, why not join,for example, a knitting forum, and regale their members with their infinite knowledge on topics irrelevant to wool and knitting and mittens.
