I'm just playin' around with ya, Matt.
Wow, I can't believe I've overlooked this thread.
Here's my two cents (although it's hardly worth that much )
I'm a conservative and I enjoy debating people who don't agree with me and make me work to defend what I believe. A good debate is when both sides present valid arguments and then tear apart those arguments. If we all agreed on everything, threads would be filled with nothing but and .
But while I love a good debate, I think it needs to be done respectfully. Attack the argument, not the poster. Because at the end of the day, we've all had different life experiences that have shaped our views and opinions. And there's nothing no one can say to make me change my views. And I know there's nothing I can say to make someone else change their views. So whether we're debating Arians' playcalling or Obama's policies, there's always going to be disagreement, but we shouldn't make it personal.
So to my conservative and liberal friends (and everyone in between) ...

What he mentioned in his post is a list of general rules that we'd expect mature adults to abide by. It's also reiterating things that we Admins have said ad nauseum since this board was started, but always seemed to fall on deaf ears. We should not have to keep pointing these things out to people. The bottom line is if you're about to post something that you know will rile people up, it's probably not a good idea to post it. But if you do, then you will have to deal with the consequences of your actions, as stated in the COC rule that HTG posted above. It's as simple as that. It doesn't matter who you are, how long you've been a member or how much you've contributed. NO ONE gets a free pass.
See how what you just posted could be contradictory to what you are trying to convey?
Obama threads have been flying up for months, like bees on honey for quite awhile now.
Someone comes along and posts a few anti-GOP threads and all hell breaks loose.
The irony in this is that people could possibly find the constant threads started about Obama as being baiting, and also - due to your definition - with the intent of riling people up.
There's just too few people around here to validate this, but like SF, this new forum might be keeping people from joining due to just that.
It's a Steelers/Republican board.
Oh, for crying out loud...
Nevermind, I'm not going to even waste my time or energy trying to explain this to you.
Well then, you tell me. What the hell is hypocritical about it? It's hypocritical to have to repeatedly tell people - many of them the SAME people - over and over and over and OVER again to stop with the personal attacks and baiting? That's being a hypocrite? And again, nobody said ONE WORD about those anti-GOP threads until YOU whined about it.
Dammit, this thread was starting to die off a bit, and once again, it's headed right down the shitter.
the good thing is we now have the "anti-obama" forum to house all the anti-obama threads, otherwise the BS'ing forum would pretty much suck and be full of rubbish (i.e carbon copy of the "locker room" at the old place.
in a sense this forum is like its own thread. most of the posts, opinions, jokes, pictures are all parroted sqwacks from either the old board or other ones. its easy enough to ignore the majority of the threads if not the entire forum itself.
"oooohhh an abortion thread... i wonder where this thread is going"?
Funny, how you took my original response to this thread. And you call me the drama queen??
I've had enough contact with Vincent, to the extent that we don't take each other too seriously, and I'd actually call him a friend. I might not agree with him politically, but he's a sweetheart and a funny dude to boot.
He wasn't offended, so why the hell should you be?
EXACTLY!
Forget it. I'm in an incredibly pissy mood right now and I really don't want to argue over this shit.
Whelp - Obaaaaaama is the POTUS and when he shits the bed, he's going to be under scrutiny, the same as you know who was. There may not have been a gazillion anti-Georgy Porgy threads over at Shithole Forever, but enough of the political threads were hijacked with the never-ending bu, bu, bu Bush rhetoric whenever anyone dared to criticize Obamie or any of his words or actions. This is an indisputable fact hipcheese.
As for the never-ending hoo-booing that this (as well as SF) is a "Steelers/Republican" board, all I can say is that nowhere in our registration form is there a request for political party affiliation. It isn't our fault or our doing that we have a larger right base here than a left. If I really wanted this to be a "Steelers/Republican" board by choice, I could drag an assload of my extreme right wing kookball friends over here (some of whom are NOT Steelers fans) but I'd really hate to clean up all of the carnage.
Seriously, though - since this thread has been hijacked to East Bumfuck and back and the topic posted by the OP has long since been forgotten, I think it's time we it.
I am making an honorable request here that the mudslinging and bad feelings generated in this thread not be carried over to other threads in this forum. I'd greatly appreciate it as would the other Admins and Mods. Thanks!
