The less awake, the less restrained, the less clear-headed.
That, and PP&R is the kind of place that I'd want to go digging through sources to back up my position at times, something I'm not motivated enough to do at the present. So I either pretend the place doesn't exist, or I use a browser plug-in to just remove the link to it on the main page.
I've backed off on the place because I've found that the loudest members don't care about sources or logic (or worse yet, pretend to care for logic but spout fallacies left and right). You can work hard and back up your points just to be drowned out by the others. Or you'll be in a serious conversation with a couple people who do care, then a handful of loudmouths will walk in and trash it through the repeated bellowing of unfounded opinions. Mix people who like to exchange legitimate information with people who explode at the drop of a hat... and you have a double dose of:
Originally I was thinking it would be nice to clean up the PPR, but I don't think we can expect that level of self-control from a group of aspies and auties of all ages and abilities, unfortunately. There are a great many interesting minds here that would be fascinating to engage, if we didn't have to do so in the middle of a bloody brawl. I wonder if there's a solution. How do we raise the standard without silencing those who are incapable or unwilling to live up to it?
well I always thought that the smartest people are the ones who avoid the PPR forum and never post there, which it seems to be true actually, and yeah, you are right about how things are there, although sometimes I find the place entertaining and amusing
I have learned some things from there though, something that I have thought about is that probably the PPR should be taken as an adult oriented forum, like the same level as the Adult discussion.

My birds are that way sometimes, but sometimes they just want to hang out with me.
