You must me talking about me.

Well, the political forum certainly does have some strong opinionated people that’s for sure. It should be considered like a television channel. If you don’t want to watch then skip over it, it’s that simple. Generally I think there is good healthy debate and I don’t believe for a minute folks over there dislike each other for their differing views.

I think everyone there respects each other for their views and willingness to take a stand for what they believe no matter what it is.

Sometimes it can get rather heated. Yes, you do have to be thick skinned to roll in the political forum but I think everyone knows that.

Do I intimidate folks there because I’m an admin? I hope not. I can take a shot with the best of them and I’ve certainly never use my veto power to shut down someone’s comments unless it was obviously inappropriate which in that case would happen anyway.

I’ve been on dozens and dozens of all types of forms and it’s not uncommon for owners or admins to participate.

Of all the posts that get reported to the admins on TOTV I don’t remember ever seeing any from the political forum. At least in a long time.

I’m waiting for the day when someone reports me to me. I’d have no choice but to ban myself from TOTV.
