Forum Poll: Would you like to have the Politics/Rant Forum Back?

[Spark]

I'm basing it on the votes which right now say No.

That's not right Monte ... How about the one's who want it??


Who really cares who does not want it?? They have an option not to go in there


the one's who do want it have no option if it is not here ...


We know this is your site but Wayne and I are trying to get more people involved ... and you are not going to do it in ALL SPORTS ... have you looked at some of the comments in here lately??? ...Comments like how dead it has been ... Good Lucks and PICKS FOR THE DAY are not doing it ... You have to give them a reason to be here ... and only here ...because we have everything here ... no need to go anywhere else ...

You are concerned of the name calling ... I will agree with you there ... we need rules before we allow the forum back in here ... any name calling will not be allowed .. you can express your feelings as strong as you like but you can not slander or call another member any names ..
If we can not ban them from the thread we will ban them for the day from the entire site ..

We are adults Monte ... you need to allow them to speak about any subject they want ... as long as they have respect for the site ...

good point.....100 say no 99 say yes.....not fair to the 99.....


Who really cares who does not want it?? They have an option not to go in there
agreed, as I stated earlier.......


the one's who do want it have no option if it is not here ...
see above

you might be right....reason for the 99, doesn't attract the 100

You are concerned of the name calling ... I will agree with you there ...
my main concern


we need rules before we allow the forum back in here ... any name calling will not be allowed .. you can express your feelings as strong as you like but you can not slander or call another member any names ..
define the deragatory names......neocon ? etc...part of the rules section

If we can not ban them from the thread we will ban them for the day from the entire site ..
If a person makes a deragatory comment in the POLITICS section, gets banned, from what you guys define as go there if you want to, stay out if you don't, then caqn't go to Sports section......part of my concern.....gonna take some precise rules, explanations, do's aqnd don't do's, cause they'll ARGUE THESE AS OPINIONS, JUST LIKE politics ....


We are adults Monte ... you need to allow them to speak about any subject they want ... as long as they have respect for the site ...
RESPECT FOR THE SITE, for ones beliefs, even when they differ.....this is gonna take a microscopic definition whaT IS SLANDER, WRONG, ETC, TO CREATE A POSSIBLE BAN......
Lots of work for the Mods.....you say you guys can handle it....good....[/QUOTE]

I voted NO.....my main concern is feelings carrying forward from politics to sports.....losing friends over differences in religion and politics, is worldwide.....

I agree, I CAN STAY AWAY FROM THE FORUM, and I will....I don't feel that when I'm bored, I have to go to a POLITICAL forum, to enhance/create some activity.....plenty more avenues for me.....

What ever you guys decide, I know you'll make it work.....just think there needs to be some pretty clear, intricate, details ,rules as to what's wrong and right....lot's ow work for you guys....

PAPI.....you also statyed, we're all ADULTS....do we always act like em....I'm as guilty as anyone on that one......just think it's a time bomb myself.....

but, I can see points from both sides.....If I don't like the political/religious rally down the stree....I stay away....

LOVE YA PAPI.....as I always say.....MAKE IT WORK

Kapt ...You say "losing friends over differences in religion and politics" ...

If you and I were discussing politics on this site or face to face ... and we were on opposite sides in our thoughts ... and our discussion became real heated ... do you think for one second it would end our friendship?? ... the only way that would happen is if we did not really like each other from the get-go ... if I lose your friendship over that you were never really my friend to start with ...


Get my drift verne

[Udog]

I wazs going to vote "no" but, after reading everybody's thoughts, I voted "yes".

It's good to have a place to vent and, if a member isn't interested on any given day, all he has to do is stay out of the thread.

Agreed 100 %, Kaz and I have argued at it like no ones business. But, I still respect his opinion and wont let our differences change my friendship with him over politics.

I think Joe is dead on, the problem with the heated arguments is that its between people who already dont like one another.

Thank you for doing some reading before pulling the trigger

If it got out of hand last time it would be safe to say with all the "A" personalities on this site that it will get out of hand this time....just my opinion

[jcindaville]

Why isn't Kaz voicing in on this?

Cause him and Joe are at odds ends and he is taking a break.

Manny being Manny

Kaz being Kaz.. Them wierd California people, who can figure them

No shit, wasn't he the one just telling us we had to get more action here? C'mon monte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jcindaville]

savage could spend a weekend at Bernies and have several great conversations!

Savage can start a thread to discuss grass growing or paint drying. You could call him every name in the book and he would continue with his grass growing discussion


Savage, I am checking into the filipino women, you got any input on them

[flarendep1]

Can I change my vote back to "yes"??

I fucked up and voted no before hearing all angles.

Sparks posts have swayed me, great point on those that dont want it need not enter it.

[wayne1218]

Another very important thing people need to remember is that this forum was at it's worst before, during and after one of the most heated Presidential elections in our history. Was it shocking people felt the way they did? No, and i'm sure they still do but damn, let them speak their minds a little and take the muzzle off the membership!!!

Out of hand???

Pretty sure no one died or left the site over those threads, so I dont know how out of hand it got. There was some name calling, but we all survived it.

I for one thought it shouldnt be here when it was, then after reading alot of it, it changed my mind.

Bring it back with limits on name calling. We got 2 great Mods and an involved site owner to police it. Plus when i see something out of hand i typically email Joe if he isnt on site to let him know.

Yeah, im a s nitch
