Should Laurel Move GB Political Threads to this Forum

[kbate]

Poll and pleasant well considered discussion coming: Wait for it!

 

[Kitty]

This is a new forum.

It should be comprised of new threads.

 

[bg23]

i don't know about this laurel person but i know obama sucks.

 

[Queersetti]

No.

Threads that are pertinent to other boards, such as amateur pictures, BDSM discussion, gay issues, etc. are not removed from the GB. Nor should political issues. Doing so would likely result in resistance to using this forum, and cause even more political spam to flood the GB.

I vote that Laruel should move all the blurt threads to the political board.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yes. We need to crush the souls of the fringe right once and for all.

 

[oggbashan]

I won't vote.

My choice would be: Wait and see what happens with this new forum and the GB.

 

[Magnetron]

Ditto.

I agree.

This will be a moderated politics/issues/current-events-only space.

The Gee Bee will be free-flowing, as always.

That is an impressively pragmatic rendering of the situation. One of those times when getting to the destination is easier if you do not have to "win."

"not winning" is of course a foreign concept to you, with your incessant need to declare victory in every thread.

 

[neci]

only if the op requests the move.

 

[TheOlderGuy]

This thread violates the rules of the Politics Board, and Laurel should immediately move it to the GB

 

[Laurel]

only if the op requests the move.

This.

If anyone has a political/current-events/social-issues thread they started in another forum that they feel would be a good fit here, PM with the link.

Really? But then I could care about that question. The one I want answered is: Do you?

LAURELS idea of politics is flashing your rack or package or mooning old people, so expect to see plenty of GOFUCKYOURSELF threads.

this new forum
other than being 2 weeks premature
(according to the original proposal)
is horseshit

have at it.
pick a weapon and flay away...

trayvon is a social issue.
the rnc renting out a strip club in west la is a social issue.
ray rice is a social issue...
the long term effects of the yalta conference are certainly political, but also historical and social...

discussion of warrior queen's av is not overtly political

but... in context, all have political aspects...
big and small...

welcome to an overtly moderated gb.

you bought it...
and the sham of a gb discussion with a 1 month voting period
seals its legitimacy.

I think not migrating threads was the key to getting this off the ground. So far, I like it, mostly.

 

[Curmudgeonly]

Wasn't that supposed to be the whole point?
