But as I see it the problem isn't IP content, it's the fact that you seem to be here to talk and not to discuss or listen.
There should be no problem with discussing IP content on ET, because with Turkey's involvement IP is the most significant local foreign policy issue for the whole of Europe. It's going to affect the future of NATO and the future shape of the EU. And the humanitarian horror is impossible to ignore.
But C&P from news sources does little to educate or inform. And ET is not a one-topic blog. People's diaries centre around their interests, whatvere they are, but what makes ET interesting is the fact that individual posters participate in the community, rather than preaching to it.
Your diaries seem to have been mostly been preaching, not participation. Preaching isn't a good way to persuade people of the value of a cause, no matter how supportive they may be otherwise.
Having said that, I've found some of the recent personal attacks dispiriting and unnecessary.
But I think you have two choices - you can make more of an effort to fit in by contributing to other threads, or you can create a personal site.
Former regulars have done this, with some success, and if the site is good and interesting it may even get more traffic than ET does.
I don't think anyone here would find that an unwelcome outcome, or would wish such a project ill.
Will you quote something from any diary I put up recently where there is "preaching." That's a new slant I've not heard before. For the most part, my diaries are qualitatively no different than those of FairLeft's and other people interested in the IP area who post here and in the US, at DKos, for example.
