re: Controlling threads on the Political Board

why? He created a thread with an insult in the title. The entire purpose of the thread was a troll. If someone else creates a thread and calls Obama a name, I'll RA and make sure to point that out to Admins. I've already stated that it is wrong regardless of who does the name calling. It takes away from the conversation. and, I think it is hilarious how you call me spineless in a thread about hurling insults at people. Nice. And, just so you know, I disagree with almost every poster on the Political Board on almost every single issue. Both Republicans and Democrats alike disgust me. Both parties, and those who enable them by voting and knighting for them, have become evil. I dislike those who say Obama is a Marxist, Bush is an idiot, Sarah Palin is a whore, and Ted Kennedy is a murderer all equally. Both sides, and many in between, are creating a cloud of confusion that disables others to see the real issues that are country faces. I'd like to be able to go to the Political Board without seeing any of the name calling , from either side.

Allow my to soften the "spineless" remark, then. Fact is, dozens of ridiculously insulting posts are made on the poliboard (and the Rant and the OT) every day. Singling out one of the people on this site who already gets 1000x the abuse that the average poster receives because he is an ideological minority doesn't seem like a really stand up thing to do, though. Yes, Rex trolls. Lots of other posters post troll-level shite as well. It just doesn't come across as trolling because 75% of the posters on this board are prepared to believe the most incredible nonsense imaginable about anyone with whom they don't agree or anyone who makes them uncomfortable.

Calling a pol an arse is pretty mild, to be honest.
