Helllooo, that was me, you need to read for comprehension, I never said two days, I said two hours. I never said I did, or I would, I SAID I COULD. What I also said was that anyone could.

What I didn't say was I WON'T. Do you know why I won't? I won't because I don't believe in censorship, I think these message boards should support an honest exchange of ideas and opinions. In TV, we have a nice mixture of people, a true cross-section of America, but we have a gross intolerance of anything foreign to our own way of thinking.

I have empathy for the admin of this board. No way would I want to tolerate all the whining and tattletaling. I don't know the admin, but I imagine this whole idea started as "wouldn't it be fun" and has escalated into a time-consuming nightmare.

It is amazing how people can look at the same sitituation and see it in TOTALLY different ways. I guess that makes the world go around but I wish people could be respectful of one another's opinions. We draw our conclusions on our life's experience and those are different for each of us.

IMO, quoting this character invokes politics.

A simple question, it has been asked many times. We're still waiting for an answer.

And they will have observed anytime there is an opposition and or a question asked it will always be viewed by some as confrontational.

And as was always in evidence on the political forum, there were those who stopped by just to stir the pot, just like there has been on this thread.

It should be obvious there isn't much difference in the tone and belief intensity regardless the forum.

And to reiterate what has been said, again, with the opt in those who don't like it there do not have to come in.
I also suggest the admin consider some type of self policing....there are some of us who use the blocking feature that would be quite willing to let you know when one of the cannons comes loose.

btk

Self-policing? Never work. Liberals reporting conservatives; conservatives reporting liberals. Me? Reporting neither....too much fun.

and without the political forum we won't have the oppty to know what those experiences are nor understand what they are based on...will we?

The hourse isn't dead until two key questions are answered. And they haven't in the last 353 posts-
1) Why was the Political forum shut down?
2) Why are some so full of glee that this happened?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I cannot think of any specific incident that would have brought this about. Probably just causes too much work for the Moderators to police it.

The glee probably is because people do not think politics belongs on TOTV.

Taltarzac: I think you are probably right about the former. The latter is probably about 50% and the other half just some folks trying to "pull somebody's chain." "trying to get their goat" or "push your button" are ways to say it. Admin says this Thread is closed at midnight so if you Glee people want to "annoy" the Political Posters some more----better do it quickly! However, as someone once said, be careful what you wish for!

Yep...Good Riddance... And I would like to thank admin for keeping this "discussion" open and letting the horse beatings and rationalization by all parties involved.

I'm so confused. None of this makes sense to me.

It seems that those who don't post on political are the happiest to see it go...I am confused, as well.

Honestly, what difference does it make to them?

Why do they even care?
