No. As usual members from a certain political spectrum are distorting things.

And they wonder why we break down into personal insults and then throw our hands up and just quit discussing issues with them all together....

No, they might start banning campaigns but unless you are breaking the rules in other areas that won't happen.

I'd never voted to ban anyone--over political disagreement, or otherwise....until the last De nise poll....and even that was mostly in spite.

I just think the ugliness of that place can detract from the great community we have here....and, yes, I've contributed to it in the past. I haven't washed my hands of the place entirely, bu I'll go back to posting there regularly if and when it becomes a reasonable place for discourse again.

So you'll be back as a regular in 2008 if a Republican wins?

Who are the "righties" that are left....who are still really debating? The ones I still see posting there anymore are doing so more out for "entertainment" than for any serious constructive debate of actual issues.

There was a time when the lefties there were drawn into reasonable and informed debate and discussion with conservatives--yes, there was plenty of dumbassery (which I contributed to, yes). Although that didn't last long, there was occaisional dialogue.

Anymore, it really has become nothing more than a Bush-bashing-leftist-libertarian circle-jerk. Many of us, regardless of political leaning, find no value in that.

Ahh, perspective is everything. What you don't understand is that it used to be a Bush-praising-rightist-libertarian-circle-jerk..you just didn't see it because you were too busy pulling your pud with the rest of them.

In a sense that is true, it is exactly as it always has been, a person who thought it was crap is going to still think it is crap and I respect that view.

On the other hand what I don't respect is my fellow conservatives who are no longer in the clear majority over there and right now under siege because the administration has it's share of problems wanting to destroy it so they feel like somehow they have won. I do think having no visible link to it on the Lounge will destroy it so they will likely get their wish.

Hell maybe if that is how childish this place has become I should start looking for a new BB to frequent. Probably won't happen but this is a pretty disgusting exhibiton of a veiled banishment of a segment of posters.

exactly ... they were all for a DC forum when they could beat up on liberals because it was like 10 to 1 in ratio.

now they cut bait and run

remember how donger and ringleader use to post "the limit" of political threads in the regular forum?

it was so much fun for them ... now they turn puzzy because they can't beat up on the other side without contest.

they know this administration is fugging up and they don't want to have to hear about it for the next 3 years.

disappointing

No, not all of us were.

And are you so sure you want to throw Donger in that list with RL? I do not recall him being a "problem child" of any sort in the main forum.

Damn you, you continue to destroy all of my preconceived notions of CONS...

damn you. And thank you.

Dude, you may be an economic conservative, but I know conservative, conservative was a friend of mine, and let me tell you something, YOU'RE NO CONSERVATIVE.

Nor do I want to be on every issue. See I am one that fits both sides and am on debates on both sides. I will honestly miss the forum when it is gone, and believe me once it is off the front page in any form it will be gone. I kind of find it strange that all this occured after the conservative block failed to get DEnise banned. I sort of feel this is all about their inability to ignore seeing her name when it appears on the front page of the lounge. Even if it is those brief glimpses when she is the most recent poster in the DC forum.

One thing I can promise is that what you will see is more crossover threads, threads which are not political but used to go over there because we could generate discussion and respect the football mainly nature of the lounge. I know I will be putting my religion, homosexual marriage, and other such non-political threads back on the front page after the link is gone. Those threads are not banned from the front page as Endelt pointed out earlier, only political threads are banned from the front page.
