How About A Political Pact?
Dear Truly Interested Political Talk Users: It is in a way of speaking a no man's land here created by the owners to (1) meet the needs of its customers who desire this forum and (2) lessen the need for its moderators to ride shotgun over a disproportional amount of time. TOTV's concerns were genuine, in resurrecting this forum, as we have noted one or a few (can't tell with the ever user being guest) wasting our time with accusation, charges name calling, etc. And TOTV was correct in not allowing actual user names and again because of the ungrateful few. I am not sure and frankly don't care if these few recalcitrants are incapable of intelligent dialogue or trolls but their actions are non-productive. So I suggest that those of us who truly desire a civil, cogent and informative point counter point exchange all agree to ignore or make invisible said non productive comments as not essential to the subject matter at hand. I believe it is the best solution for our problem and for TOTV's moderators problems if we simply moderate by avoidance. After all that is what polite company requires. Personal Best Regards: |
If only you will stop the incessant cut and paste plagiarism.

Dear OP I have used this tactic successfully on FB - I think it could work well on this site.
|
The only time I respond to the one/few is when they restate a post of mine to mean something completely different than intended.
My position is always for everybody to have their own opinion and state it as they see fit. However they are not entitled to re-state what I (or others) meant or intended. I understand it is often a baiting technique but I have a difficult time leaving an intentional untruth or inccurate presentation of my intents. I do miss the ignore button from the non political TOTV. |

I agree, old friend. Kindest regards. |
Here's on you can ignore, just to get started.
Perhaps, you guys hold go out and start your own website, with a political forum that you can run anyway you see fit. You could limit all posters to those of the same political persuasion and you could all entertain each other. This way, you'd have no opposing views and everyone could agree on the sky is falling agenda. |

We also know the tactic of re-stating to suit one's agenda which is obvious in a couple of responses. We also know that those few accept no position other than their own. Their trade mark is to label or snipe or diss that which does not follow their drum beat. And then there is the usual name calling. They are so identifiable and predcitable, changing the subject matter and adding no value. The new tool they have is since we are all guests they can provide their own counterpoint and support.....which is also easily identifiable. |

As one poster succinctly states ägree don't engage"" So even if one intentionally distorts what I said if I perceive it to be bait etc I will resist responding. Let's look forward to learning from one another so that at election time we make the best choice possible Personal Best Regards |
Reading some of the replys to what I thought was a reasonable observation and request proves to me that Cro-magnon man did indeed exist. This forum is for entertainment not intellectual dialog.
