Political threads pledge

[Okla-homey]

In the interest of board peace and love, from this point until 11/4*, I won't start any more political threads. I will, however, respond if my guy is attacked or information put forth by others is false and/or misleading.

This will be difficult because I enjoy politics and political debate. I'll settle for reading what's posted and crafting responses to political threads begun by others. Nevertheless, my sense is this is what people here want, and I want to be cooperative member of OUr little community.

*After 11/4, if we have a winner; meaning it doesn't go into extra innings like 2000, I won't start any either.

I reserve the right to post observations on international events and national security affairs. Oh, and if they ever find Bigfoot or Batboy, I'm all over it.

There you have it. Carry on.

Did someone tell you that you were starting too many?
You DO start your fair share and I'll be amazed if you can pull this off; just wondering what prompts this insight and change of behavior.

I like the political threads, but I understand that the others on the SO might get miffed when the whole front page is full of them.

Don't know if it would be worth having a separate forum for politics or not; the SO would be kinda weird without politics, but it's kinda weird when it's 90% politics too.

No one said anything, but you can kind of tell from subtle cues from folks. As far as 90% politics goes, its the political season and its natural there should be a bunch. Nevertheless, I'm on the wagon.

Dude, I hope you're not reading "subtle cues" from me. Start all the threads you want as far as I'm concerned. My interest is in keeping the partisans on the board from reaching critical mass as we approach election day.

Not at all my friend. Just trying to do my part. A little unilateral disarmament if you will.

Can I still Bait Rus ?

you act like that's a challenge. Rus is living proof that you can be dumb as a rock and be qualified to stand in a suit in a courtroom.

Then again, that sums up lawyers as a whole imo.

I still don't understand why there can't be a politics forum. I've heard the reasons for it, but I still don't buy it. Oh well, it's not my board and it doesn't bother me in the slightest to have 20 political threads on the first page of the SO.

I agree. The Blender (no offense to those of you who use it sparingly) but that seems like as logical a place as any.

Assign 1 or 2 mods to that place alone, and it seems like it would work. Every other site I visit that's a message board has one of these and it has cut down on a lot of nastiness and bickering.

However, it's not my board and it doesn't bother me in the slightest to have 10-20 political threads on the first page of the SO. I just look at the person who starts the thread and I pretty much know what direction it's gonna go, so I pick and choose as wisely as one can.

Totally not in favor of a separate political forum. Besides, take politics off the SO right now and there's not much else there.

Not true. "What are you listening to now" is always there... always.

Well, there's that and......er, well there's that.

That's another discussion altogether right there.
