Equally on par in what sense? Since you don't interact with the 1v1 debating arena, I assume you mean the forum part of the website. There's all sorts, through from big bad Reddit itself (as well as Quora) to DebateIsland to basically any forum on any niche topic you want. What makes this website unique (now the DDO is dead) is its dedication to the wide array of debate topics and the 1v1 arena.

Honestly, if you ask me, the issue is that debating is an extremely niche passion that barely anyone in this generation is into. Most people see arguing as bad social skills and see debating as a pseudohobby that only argumentative pricks take. You prove them right on that and in some ways we all do. People generally prefer to seek out people that agree with them, those of us wired to seek out disagreement and enjoy it are often too dumb or ruthless to maintain it as a healthy hobby.

That was what made DDO unique and what makes this website unique enough, if the voting department was more active and better moderated.

If the 1v1 arena was actually popular and not a silly niche that barely anybody on the website uses and this website somewhere that barely anyone on the Internet uses, we'd see a healthier environment but outlying opinions and very harsh pushers of offensive opinion like yourself would be shunned to the outskirts.

So, the optimal population would be in the hundreds, not the thousands, in my opinion. We'd want around 250 dedicated, regular posters.

And it has caused society to become stupid.

When I was in college my communications textbooks talked about how illiberal it is to censor people and silence people who disagree with you on things. They talked about how without public discourse ignorance abounds.

Now liberals are calling for cancel culture and silencing everyone they hate. They became the very thing they claimed to be against.

Other than the obvious "attitude" glowing through your reply, that was the reply I was more or less looking for. Thank you.

I have an attitude that tends to bring out people's hidden selves, be they good, bad, charming or ugly alike.

I think it is to do with my raw communication style.

This is my first and only forum. That is why I can spend so much time here. I have no other distractions.

I'd rather have been Superman than Jesus Christ but unfortunately I was born a human in touch with god so I am closer to being the latter.

I am more like Arrow, if I had to pick a DC universe character who has a personality I can relate to but I preferred the Flash series or what I've seen of it that is (not really into the comics themselves).

Why are you asking that? Why do you need such a site? All you do is post forums, yell at antiracists, and perhaps --about one in 100 chance-- comment on debates. To be fair, even Quora would do better at what I think you would want. They have a base of millions, some of them Ph.D, not just a bunch of self-proclaimed losers answering everything they see.

I am here because I am bored. Why are you here?

You're more like a troll than anything because you act like you know everybody better than they know themselves. Yet you're about as oblivious to your own b******* if someone can be.

This is my first forum. That is why I spend so much time here. And I don’t have a reason to try others, yet.

Talking to her reflection for sure.
