Suggestion for the off-topic forum

Can we consider creating a special political section of the off-topic forum?

I think the name calling and general political BS is getting out of hand and it's harshing my buzz and stealing all the threads. I would bet other readers agree.

I'm hoping things will slow down a bit after the election, but I'm much happier with threads about bear attacks, zombie invasions and the like.

Thoughts?

I think that is the first forum change on this board (including ones Wayne has come up with) that I agree with.

Another alternative might be to not click on the political threads if you don't want to read them.

If the signal to noise ratio weren't approaching negative infinity, I might agree with you. But I don't, so I posted this thread.

What are you some kind of whining Liberal that wants to limit the 1sr Amendment or sumthin....just another pinky crying to mama when he doesn't like sumthin he hears....

When in the REAL world you have choichs , you can join the debate, you can whine and say I'm going to take my ball and go home or you can change the channel thereby putting yur head in the sand...

If I were your Dad which Thank Gawd I'm not....I'd kick your a$$ for bein such a mamas boy...I'd tell you to get in there and scrap it up....throw some mud it might make you feel better...I know it does for me....I love to hear the Pinky ******* Boyzl squeal when I hit them with cold cool reason.....

Unless there is another Florida situation, things should die down here about a week after the election.

1. I'm not trying to limit speech, just create appropriate forums for things to happen. Just like you wouldn't have a kegger at an AA meeting. It's horses for courses.

2. I live far more in the "real" world than you do, or probably ever will, trust fund boy.

3. You couldn't whoop me, intellectually or physically.

Sorry, negative infinity just has a better ring to it. I allow myself some poetic license occasionally.

It will pretty much end except for the occasional outragous story/scandal/link from google/fark/slashdot/cnn/etc on or about the first weekend in November, after all the "I told you so's" are over.

What's interesting is that in all of the similar boards in which I participate, the OT section is always the busiest.

Oh, almost forgot: Bush sucks!
