This is really messing up the board. I mean, it’s at the point where no matter what view you have, you can’t even say it without being marginalized into camps and crap.
I mean, couldn’t extra political threads be deleted, and only one be left up, if we must have a place to really duke it out?
I’m not one to ask for moderation, but the board’s getting overrun by this.
Right now, there’s five on the front page, and that’s not as many has has been up there, counting the anti-french stuff. Over half of the front page were political threads the other day. Everyone’s just making more threads to argue on.
I agree KC. I found it interesting that so many people are still wanting to argue politics when our leaders have pretty much committed us to war. There is little point arguing this anymore. What we need to do now is make sure the troops who are there have our support and prayers.
How about we create Pub section in which everyone can post whatever not directly related to this forum. If that’s doesn’t solve this, we probably have to ban all political post. One other forum I perticipate in has done exactly that.
Here is the quote from this forum.
"New rule regarding political discussions – Please read
In accordance with SFI’s primary goals of providing a warm and friendly academic environment for the sharing of ideas and information regarding swords and other edged weapons, SFI finds the discussion of contemporary political topics inappropriate. The staff at SFI have carefully studied the matter and concluded that contemporary political issues are too sensitive and divisive for the type of environment SFI is striving to achieve. As a result, topics regarding current political issues are prohibited from all forums, including the pub.
Discussions of current issues that impact the education, use, or ownership of swords may be permitted at moderators’ discretion
There are plenty of places on the Internet that specialize in political debate but in our experience “Warm and Friendly” and political discussions seem to be incompatible. Since providing a “Warm and Friendly” environment is a primary goal of SFI we have been forced to implement this restriction
In accordance with the new rule existing political discussion threads will be closed."
No, that’s not all. It’s also about anger because empire building fukwits are refusing to listen to the will of the people that they are supposed to represent and are starting wars to further their own agendas.
They are led by Chimpy Bush, but I include Howard and Blair in that as well.
What’s that shadow in the clouds? Looks kinda like a bunch of cows or camels or… no, it’s horses. Definitely horses. There are figures riding them… four figures…

I have a theory that politicians are actually goktimi in disguise. They do spend an awfully large amount of time cluster fellating and complaining. Not to mention the dropped pie faces.
