I didn't realize until I read this thread that there are people who "report" others and essentially tattletale.

Sorry, I don't believe you.
I'm telling.

Aw, come on. The whole reason this forum started was because of splintering at the old place. Now that that's died off, there's a call to do the same thing here?

Resounding No from me -- and it looks like I'm not alone, according to the current counts.

I said it before back there, and I'll say it again here: I like the forum as is -- like a cocktail party, where I can drift the room and pick up on conversations and decide if I want to be a part of them (with the heavy political arguing going on in the kitchen, i.e., "other side " ) .

:agree: This. Zoid said it better than I could have.
:agree:
Yes. This. Thanks!

{Sorry, the filter won't accept boos.}

The filter allows slang for ladies of the night, but not for alcoholic beverages? What kind of weirdass filter is this?

Maybe it's time for it to be more of an anything goes. Pay to play/see. If you don't like it - don't be a part of it. Maybe it's $1.99 a month or $9.99 a year. I don't know. I do know it sucks that people can't stick to their own 'facts' - right or wrong - and agree or agree to disagree vs. bring it down to personal snipes and worse. If it wasn't anonymous, bet would be a lot different too.

Maybe you should charge to report posts. Only on the ranting side. Charge .99 per report. That way people can either tough it out, get lost, or waste their money. One could also charge the miscreant for whom the complaint was lodged. Punish bad behaviour . Parents and nannies still do that don't they ?
Tips and deals should be couched amongst hurled insults and racist and bigotted derision ?
If you hate the folks on the other side so much, why is it that you spend 24 hours a day over there and make comments on every single thread? What are you going to do with yourself if it goes away?

He will give this forum "the billb treatment" and pretty soon everyone will be begging to have the ranting forum reactivated :-)

It is OWC's house, not yours.
I don't know why that concept is so hard for you to understand.

Not you Howard.
You're generally and usually a pretty classy person.
At least in my book.

I don't get it. If the issue is that the Political Forum requires a disproportionate number of hours to maintain and administer (certainly don't argue this point), how would creating MORE subforums alleviate that problem?

I understand that perfectly, billb. I'm already resigned to the other side going away.

What I don't understand is why you constantly insult the people who use that forum and then have the nerve to complain that people are insulting people. You spend your days and nights telling us how awful we all are. Those are INSULTS. Before you talk about the speck in my eye, get the log out of yours.
