ChiefsPlanet Posting Political/Religious Threads in the Main Forum - Page 9

Frazod · 03-01-2010, 12:07 PM

Eventually a mod shows up to move the damned thing, but this has been happening way too much lately.

We have a special playground for all your politards and bible thumpers/haters for a reason.

I propose that from this point forward people who do this should lose their thread starting privileges, at least temporarily.

If you're really interested in fairness, you should admit that the OP wasn't political and that I didn't do anything to make the thread political. It could have just as easily been a prayer request for a rock star or a NASCAR driver as for a former politician based on the way I treated it prior to it's overnight retirement to the DC forum.

Edit: BTW, I think the mods handled that particular thread in a fine fashion.

You know what you were doing when you started the thread and the mere mention in the OP that you had no problem having it moved to DC if it warranted proves that you knew from the beginning it was political and that people would view that way.

And let's be honest Dick Cheney is not like a rock star or a NASCAR driver he is a politician which mean your thread was political and should have been in DC to begin with.

But in all honesty I could care less and people might have thought I was joking but we should merge it all back into the Lounge in the off-season and create some fun and chaos.

I completely disagree on the Cheney thread. I NEVER go into DC, and caught the news about Cheney in the Lounge. I think it was something that most would want to know. JMO.

No, I knew that some small-minded, knee-jerk members might see it as political, but it was definitely not political. There wasn't a political thought, idea, or argument advanced in that OP at all, nor in any of my posts prior to the point at which the thread was moved to DC late that night.

And it doesn't matter whether Cheney is a politician or not (in fact, he's nothing but an aspiring author now). If Barack Obama were assassinated tomorrow (heaven forbid), the fact that he was a politician wouldn't mean that a news thread about the event shouldn't be posted here.

As for merging the forums for a couple of weeks, I think your idea is a good one. Of course, I think the forums should be merged permanently, but I realize that with all the newer posters who have no appreciation for the greatness of pre-split ChiefsPlanet, it would be pretty hard to overcome the natural resistance to change and what has become conventional wisdom around here.

I think newer members who read bullshit like this will develop an instant appreciation for the creation of DC, which remains the single greatest thing to ever happen to this board.

Personally, I think the mods should merge the two forums for a week just to annoy frazod.

It would annoy far more people that just me. That's the main thing all you patteeuwans fail to understand.

I understand that just fine.

I have no idea what you are saying, but I'll assume you are confused.

I have been accused of deliberately posting political threads in the Lounge and I never did that. I've posted them there on accident in the past. I stopped doing it all together when we setup the prefixes because I would notice that the list of choices wasn't the right list, and I'd avoid the accident. It's never happened again since then.

Now if you are indeed trying to put a political thread in the Lounge, you will see the list of Lounge prefixes and look for one that fits your stunt. I'm guessing you picked "prayer" for yours.

There's a lot of news in the DC that fits this description. That doesn't change the fact that it's a political thread and a political stunt by patteeu (I always spell your name right too).

Speaking of which, what's your opinion of Barack Hussein's job performance so far? Living up to your expectations?

Since you betrayed him, your correct spelling is beneath notice.

Damned liberal.

Ha! If I recall, you started your Dick Cheney image-rehabilitation sympathy stunt by telling CP how much they loved Dick Cheney?
