To preserve my nice low blood pressure and my sanity, I am currently avoiding reading the political threads. So, if it gets out of line and someone is not happy, send me a PM and I may or may not do something about it.

A number of insensitive things have been said. Maybe you should lock the thread?

I even stated "I personally don't think much of Kerry." I'm sure that statement alone could insult a few people.

What kind of moderator are you, abdicating your responsibility like that?!

 

[Dawg52]

I try to avoid them too, but sometimes I can't help myself.

A smart one.

Bush is an *******.

Bush is an *******.

By the way, "Ignore" buttons really work. I've been on boards which have these, both for whole threads as well as individual users.

Don't insult the assholes of the world!

 

[Zathras]

For my blood pressure I avoid them as well

I don't have any additional comment to this post. I just liked the idea of seeing these words posted again.

Good idea. I am staying away too.

I agree. I've made comments to some threads that keep coming back when I hit "replies to your posts." After I while when the thread degenerates, I'd like to stop getting notifications. I assume I could just bring up Hitler, Nazis and horrible ways to kill people and all of my problems would be resolved by the moderators.

This is precisely why I avoid flame fests, religion and politics. Notice how it's the men sh*t disturbing starting/partaking in these combat type threads?

 

[califdreamer]

It's so tempting to jump in sometimes. I think I've shown remarkable restraint

Huh?

Uhh.. do you see any irony in what you just wrote?

 

[cube_rat]

Oops, see what happens when I don't do my homework?

Martha! Oh, Martha?! You need to do something about this thread! It's getting out of control!!

Yeaaarrrgh!
According to the sampling presented by REWahoo, I beat astromeria 4 to 2.. eat my dust, babaayy!


I do think a survey of M/F postings on all topics vs. M/F postings on political ones would probably show a tendency for males to pile on in the political arena.. but I think that's also true in life. It's lamentable that there aren't more women in politics, but (even putting aside family reasons) it's pretty easy to see why they might prefer to stay on the sidelines.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program: "Let's you & him fight!"
