Re: Politics Forum?
Yeah I can't imagine having to sift through all that stuff. I hope you guys understand that your work is much appreciated, despite the fact that it rarely gets mentioned.<br /><br />Its not that I have a problem with political posts. At first I read and posted in them.....but that all changed when the volume of threads about the same topics, and the "hogwash" from both sides, and most importantly the influx of political "propaganda" that shows up in threads not intended to be political became so prevalent in the dockside chat.<br /><br />Like it has been said before, if we could drop the bantering, name calling, and as JB calls it hogwash from all directions, I doubt there would be an issue. It really is a shame any of this has even come to the surface. Think of what new members think when they first wander into the dockside chat. I for one would be a little shocked at the way some threads have gone and how some members act. I would definately be questioning whether or not i wanted to be a part of this forum after the engine questions i had were answered. Someone will say how if they dont want to be here let them go, but I think any forum thrives on diverse personalities and opinions. We have no shortage of those, but I think we could all be more careful in how we utilize them. I may catch fire for that one, but this IS a great forum and it should stay that way.
