Am I the first poster?
I was just reading the posts that were left over from the 2012 election period. You all should do the same. Maybe you'll remember why the Political Thread was closed. Oh by the way, yes, we did elect him again.
I am so anxious to figure out which log-in name certain posters will use. Please sign them, as I have always done. Xavier |

It's just a shame you don't let it come up when we click on "NEW" posts.

You are right. I think by reading some of these old posts we can quickly see who has content and brings up real issues and who just attacks. I wish we could police ourselves and respond to a personal attack by just saying...personal attack or using the criteria for debate that many of us were taught. Just fighting on here will chase away many useful thoughts and ideas and make this quickly into a back alley. I hope everyone reads the old posts if they are new here. Grace |

That worked for the most part. I always felt if one does not like something and still participates they are not entitled to a complaint. The solution is within their ability to solve the problem. We shall see how it goes henceforth. I have said many times over the years that "political" gets a bad rap mainly because of a very few that did not honor the rules of decency. It seems there are very many who interpret disagreement or differing opinions as negative. I am glad it is back. Thanx TOTV admin for that. I look forward to being able to tackle the issues of the day and the responses from those opting to participate. I anticipate and look forward to dialogue where an agreement to disagree is a valid outcome. |

I am not sure why you are signing your posts. I think they wanted us to have some sort of anonymity by all of us being Guest.
There must be a reason why we all are signed as Guest. Don't try to defeat the purpose on day 1. |

The very sad reality of this is that someone can sign their post Xavier. This happens all of the time on the Topix forum where certain thrown off the TOTV folks congregate. Just be aware. I am sure it will happen here. In fact the fact that the worst offender may well sneak in really bothers me. I kind of wish we had to prove who we are, at least our tried and true TOTV moniker. My husband says that only fools have a dialogue with anonymous posters. |

It seems there will be no opportunity to PM under the new format. But that may be by intent.
Maybe a specific/different username for this forum only....for those who opted in only. I am not sure if the additional anonymity of "guest" solves any past problems.......from this/my perspective. This is only day one. We shall see more clearly when a controversial subject gets addressed by all. |

iT'S A DOUBLE EDGE SWORD
I agree with Xavier because political post should be held to some responsibility for their post, even thou there is anonymity in general but
understand why Admin. changed posters name to GUEST, this takes the "bite" out of some posts. Hope we maintain some class when posting! |

Stop identifying yourselves in the political forum
Continued attempts to "get around" TOTV policy regarding NO personal identifiers in the Political Forum will kill this forum before it gets started.
