Remember when Laurel created the Politics Board so the RW'ers would post over there?

Hmm, so it was just to ghettoize so-called "right wingers" not all political persuations?

Interesting.
 
And it's worked out so well. :D

It would have had not those with huge egos and a tiny little grasp on manners not thrown a hissy fit and refused to use it. It was entertaining watching the temper tantrums. I ain't seen ones so well orchestrated since my son was 5.

What's that saying...you can lead a horse to water...:)
 
Remember when people who haven't been here near as long as I have bitched and moaned about politics but refused to go to the proper slap and tickle forum do play their slack and tickle games because they were so fucking superior to the playgrounders that they couldn't be caught dead in their company.

Then because I said I was staying put because from the very beginnings politics was a central theme of this particular forum that I was then described as "throwing a temper tantrum" which is exactly what they were doing because they didn't like all of the politics despite having other multiple forums where they could avoid it. Then they tried to use ridicule to prove how superior they were.

Remember how when I, and others stuck to our guns and the Politics Forum was a huge crash and burn they began whining in anguish again until their tantrums were rewarded with a moderated sub forum where they could ban and outlaw politics and offensive speech.

And now observe what they are doing to "get even." Multiples of attack alts to follow around the political posters, of only one type in order to so poison the dialog that reasonable new people checking out the forum run screaming away as if Milo or Coulter were actually here in person clubbing seals, killing kittens and triggering college students to the point of pissing their pants.

This ladies and gentlemen is what the Democrat Party has reduced itself to, bereft of ideas and adrift in the hands of Progressive radicals they have no coherent message other than we hate you because you are bigoted racist homophobic and xenophobic misogynists and you deserved to be scorned, attacked ridiculed and impugned. If you're not with us, you're not welcome in the dialog, you can't tell us how to run our country.

I avoid places/situations where people agree with everything each other says. It's mind numbing, repetitive, and downright boring. However, its comforting to those who can't logically support their beliefs.

I think that the Political thread was a bad move.

It thinned out the nomber of liberal posters who could engage in a discussion without resorting to personal attacks (JackLewis, gotsoknowworth or something and others who only post in the Political Forum, unfortunately).

And it made the liberal racists hunting trolls and attack alts more visible.

In short, it makes what drives the Left's current state of politics more visible and apparent.

Your "liberal posters who [can] engage in a discussion" are no longer the norm but the fringe minority so what you have left is Phelia, LadyVer, VeraBad and ThrobDwonSouth to mention the leaders of their (un)think tank.
 
It would be great if JackLewis and other posters from the Political Forum would start posting here from time to time. They have so many interesting things to say.

I'm puzzled why they prefer to stick to a forum where there's no challenge, no debate just people agreeing on the same thing.

That's why they appear reasonable. The two sides are so disjoined that most of them can only be civil when they are in their side's echo chamber. You have to go to extraordinary measures when you try and engage the Left and you really do have to pretty much ignore about half of them and even then, civility is a thin veneer, at best when it comes to the people who just hate conservatives.

It's a mockery of their professed belief in tolerance, diversity and inclusion.

Exactly.
That's why I root for posters like Jack Lewis and so on from the Political Forum to come here.
As hard as it might be for those who keep accusing me of "sucking RW racist cock" to understand, I root to hear more diverse (both libs. and conservatives) points of view.


I'm fed up with the way in which so many GB libs. personalize and label people as "racists" whenever they disagree with other people's ideas, or fail to pick on nuances.

They fail to understand that these threads are about debates, discussions (like oggbashan does). Rather than "unmasking the bad racists".
