Yup is politics.... As I promised I would help you by reporting those illegal posts
LMAO. Check out Brainfail. He's making political posts all over the place. So is Strapon.
@Bastard Factory yes they are.... Lots of those posts have also been reported. Why do you not act?! These people deserve a timeout in Meltdown
Why cant you ask him in a pm? We arent even talking about politics right now. Not really .....we are talking the abuse of a child in a well known political family.
BF doesnt want to be treated like the Conway kid. So it's a good analogy for why BF wants to find a way to manage the political exchanges without killing the board and without cutting off discussions entirely.
He is trying to navigate something new so the board works for everyone. Not just us that like to cluck about this topic all day.
Dont be a dick, mang. There is a bigger picture here.
Check who posted a screenshot of a personal message.... Your friendly
@Bastard Factory. He's the one moving the discussion here....
Ah true. Fair enough.
But the point of my post still stands, Q.
He isnt doing this to punish or silence anyone.
Let's be patient while he figures out how to let us Americans blow our political loads in these unprecedented times without getting it all over everyone elses face, yeah?
He doesnt have to host us at all.
Q isn't American.
It's Brainfail's whinging that brought us here. He's not upset about us posting American politics, he's upset about liberals posting about politics. He is free to say anything he wants, and to post about SA politics all he wants. He just doesn't want any liberal posts. He is closed-minded and a big crybaby.
Yeah, I love you, too,
@Breakfall
It's really more nuanced than that. It's probably easier for me to see how because I'm used to these kinds of boards.
It's not so much they want no mention of politics whatsoever. You guys are mistaking snarky comments mocking culture for right wing political comments. I can see why.....but I can also see the difference between those comments and actual partisan arguing.
What's going on is you guys are taking comments like that as a serious political jab and than an argument kicks up.
Do you really think a guy who is posting shit and piss gifs in every political thread is worried about which group has the bigger megaphone? He has gotten after me a few times too.
He just wants you guys to loosen up and not take it all so seriously here.
No. He doesn't want liberal posts. Just like Strapon. It's not nuanced at all. I am quite good at nuance. These guys aren't smart enough for that.
I don't think he's worried about who has a bigger megaphone. He just wants no left-leaning anything here, including nuance. Nuance, if you can call what they do that, has to be righty.
Lotus.....that's really not it. I can understand how it might feel like that, but that's really not the case. You guys tend to take the posts much more seriously than the rest of us.....he just wants people to loosen up a bit. That's all.
If you made some snarky and funny comments about the current political culture they wouldnt have a problem, they'd just laugh about it.
It's the seriousness and the fighting about it ending up all over the place that's problematic because it's taking BF in a direction it's not intended to go in. The shits serious enough in real life....this place is a break from real life.
I cant speak for BF but I'm 90 percent sure they wanted a time out on politics so that those of fighting about them can start getting along better by posting together on different topics and finding some sort of common grounds so that when politics are allowed again it wont be the toxic cancer spreading into everything.
They want to keep things light is all. Try not to take Big so seriously. He just pushes buttons.
