Thank the heavens. Now we can get back on topic.
How about that whole Harry Reid thingy?

One suggestion made before by others is to create a Politics forum on the paid side and instead of deleting anything that turns political - move the threads there......censorship that stimulates business for the LVA as people renew subscriptions to reply. That's censorship the American way!
Subscribers have a choice. Either accept the direction of the forum or move on. If one has the need to discuss politics, find a forum that focuses on discussing politics. If I or you or anyone else leaves LVA, the sun will still come up tomorrow. The world's not going to end if I or anyone else decides to move on.

One must truly have no life when they collect links and cut and pastes just so they are armed to fight all day in political threads. What a sad life...

I don't understand, why in the world would a seperate forum where the dreaded topic of {gasp} politics bother anyone else here? Seriously would it really upset you all that much just knowing that the topic was being discussed somewhere else on the LVA and those participating were enjoying talking with people that they have gotten to know here and obviously like to keep abreast of happenings? OF COURSE theres' other political forums on the net, tens of thousands probably, but when's the last time you tried or had a meaningful conversation with twelve hundred strangers?My guess would be zero.
I beleive it would be easily moderated as well, simply have a one and done policy. Screw up ONE time and
WHACK , you are outta the Pol. forum(or at least "timed out" for a few months or whatever ,if you act like a child, get treated like one. Any thread over here that gets deemed "political" simply gets moved over there.
Seems like a simple solution to an obviously thorny subject.
J
BTW, It's still BEYOND me why oh why would anyone read or keep reading a thread they don't like and bitch about it later. It's just like eating a really sh!tty meal(the whole plate) and then go and raise heck with the chef and yell about how bad it was. Doesn't make a bit of sense.

Damn I'm good! As I wrote, just a few minutes ago:
"...these days the most anger, nastiness, and witless ad hominems (please see upthread) come from those who think that political threads are the worst thing ever, but sadly don't have the self-control to refrain from clicking on them..."
