The poli board just reflects the polarization that the country is in right now IMO. After November 6th, everything should quiet down and we can all revel in the meltdown on MSNBC.

Argue with an admin in a political thread and get banned 4 times without ever breaking a rule, like myself.
I've only been banned once for not breaking a rule (and it was an emotionally-charged banning based on the IM message I got) but I couldn't imagine 4 bannings. One was awful enough.

I even RA'd for the first time a while back when someone was releasing a poster's private information, but nothing was done.
I've had my picture posted on the board (I have never posted my own picture on here myself), I RA'd and nothing was done.

I think you mean the "celebration on MSNBC".

I'm assuming it is bc all of the admins are republicans

its def a great idea though, but you would have to define your profile by either dem, rep, or ind
like for team boards

I wish this would happen. Poli board is damn near unreadable even on a good day.

You folks act as though 80% of the threads started by the most prolific leftwing posters over there aren't troll attempts.

Please a) define troll attempts and b) provide data supporting your 80% claim. TIA.

I think people like Rex and VOR are as misguided on the issues as possible but I don't see how their posts are troll attempts. The Republicans on the board are just as misguided and they aren't accused of being trolls.

No. I won't bother and maybe "troll" is the wrong word. But you know exactly what I'm speaking of... "bait" type threads. Granted the right side takes the bait and lets it fly in return.

BTW, I'm not referring to you and I'm also not complaining about it. I like to see articles posted from Edna Mikulsky's leftwing son's basement bedroom blog. Thanks to the Poli board I'm up on every Obama and Romney scheme to herd us into boxcars to transport us to those Mormon/Kenyan work camps depending on who wins.

I think most people on that board define troll as any person who has a divergent opinion.

I said I wish we had a European style medical system and was called a troll .

And I get pissed when these morons with 2011 or 2012 join dates, pull this "get off our board" BS

like the moron in this thread with the blimp avatar.

Oh you mean those posts that disagree with your point of view and since you are so closed minded you get angry and assume the poster is a troll

Bingo. So close-minded that the belief seems to be that no one with a divergent opinion can possibly really believe in their own opinion.

No, not at all. In fact as I said earlier I like most of the posts on the board regardless of ideology as they keep me informed.

But, this thread was complaining about right wing responses and I pointed out that there are leftwing folks who are prolific at provocative titles.

If you are referring to me personally, you're flat out wrong. I know there are people who hold opinions divergent from mine and believe in them. I don't RA or complain or suggest someone leave the board.
