Did the poopstika ever exist in 3-dimensional reality? Top Persons are delving into the matter…
If there is a politics or collective “view of the site” currently detectable at OT, it is not, I believe, an especially “conservative” one, but rather a committed but weak and diffuse left “liberaltarianism” – though left liberal-dominated in the comment threads.
