We also forget Briggs would also start threads with a synapse short message, then not come back to discuss it. There might be other convo's going on but it was like his needed to be seen above others.
I gather he lost his desire to discuss things? Just make statements.
It happens.
Also, sometimes we are wrong about things. One can make prognostications and if it proves innocorrect is it not ok to say "My bad", or "read otherwise", or "I jumped the gun"? When he got political and stuck his neck out and would not own it.
He made a bold statement about Ramsawarmy blew himself up soon after. Briggs either holds true to that extreme view which is ok, but own it. Or, he comes off arrogant to not admit he might have been more hopeful than accurate.
This was not the first time it happened and its not the point of view that is paramount, it was the manner by which it was handled. When the string of comments become inflammatory and the site owner/mod asks to knock it off for the greater good, then one makes a choice.
Briggs posted pictures of himself, his name, his marital status and children and what they went to school for. His family, where he grew up, his family lost to the holocaust, ets. Very personal stuff made transparent. When you open up and then get political it gets a bit weird in a forum that does not do this as a norm. He lost me when after Trump refused to acknowledge the hate or condemn the Nazi influence in the Charlottesville incident where they marched. Trump empowers hate. Briggs might not see what he does as inflammatory but when noted he did not adhere to the request.
Briggs made his choice.
The success of UK is based on house rules and it works. Its Martins house. We are free to stay or leave. He does not suppress freedom of speech. One can find many outlets to do so on many social media outlets.
