Self Policing Militia Summons

Somebody said something like "I want to hate Griff for his politics, but he built his own house, and that is cool." Bout 8 years ago I think it was said. That's what it's all about.

So Dux (I will talk about you here in the third person) posting just to have a lefty voice responding, or whatever, gives his posts an eerie motivation, and grants him all the "Cellar relevancy" as the next Indonesian link spammer. He should no longer wonder why people carp at him. That is why.

In the tavern analogy, he sits and waits for the other tables to have a conversation that he can respond to, and once he hears a keyword, he jumps in, sits at that table, puts in his two cents, and then quietly leaves when the topic changes.

Indeed, if you do an advanced search for threads started by him, you will find only two of them - in about four years of participating.

He has chosen a popular tavern, but basically chosen it because it's the one closest to his house. If the tavern burns down he will have no concern and just move on to the next one down the road. Who is at the tavern, what's on the menu, what's on the jukebox, all sort of irrelevant.

(But if you ask why he is a Democrat, he may answer, compassion for others.)

(I was friends with a self-described Socialist, once, who pretty much hated 98% of people. I still don't quite understand it.)
