Another ridiculous ban from the Politics forum - Page 2 - About the Forums

Politics 8.0 or 9.0 or whatever the hell it was then?

Hell, make that forum accessible and visible to deplorables only and let them go wild. It'll be 8chan in few days but it'll be their 8chan.

That's a different subject, really. That was my failure to be able to moderate (or have a clue about helping to moderate) politics. So Mason, the owner of this website, stepped in.

My solution then and now is to purge this website of all political discussion. I'm pretty sure that he just came in and asked people to be a little nicer to one another when discussing the topic. I say for old time's sake that you should all just eat a bowl of dicks.

Pretty sure that’s mainstream views in parts of the country, for example the deep South where my wife has family. At least they share stuff like that frequently on Facebook. “If God had wanted for people to be gay, he would have given them the ability to reproduce” is pretty standard Christian nutjob speak.

Politics should stay but I feel that the ATF headache may have been cut down a bit if you had just modded WN for the main forum when you had the chance considering Wookie seemed interested in cutting back his time spent here. So there is one dick in the bowl for you, sir.

i don't believe that wellnamed would have resulted in any sort of reduced headaches.

but gregorio is encouraging moderators to quit today because he doesn't like augie's playground. maybe change is coming after all.

I don't believe so either, fwiw

Every time I go to a conference there's drama around here. I'm starting to wonder. Good news! I'll be home in a few hours

I love homophobic hot fakes disguised as “it’s not what I think but others might say”.

Imagine if the politics forum openly allowed anti Semitic hot takes under that same guise.

You are funny.

I like that mat is threatening the politics forum, again, for something he did (giving augie a thread in a place where people wanted nothing to do w it then doubling down on it into a forum).

It's a problem you refuse to stop, preferring to threaten those who complain about it instead.

not sure why people would feel the need to be offended by that post, seems like a semi-main stream thought process. Either argue your point or ignore it. No reason to get butt hurt about a post on a poker forum
