[quote]Can we start giving people who do post political stuff a bunch of crap, like we used to? [/quote] Self policing. This is the way....

[quote]It’s not more division. It’s just a handful of posters. I don’t think any of your posts are in trouble, Freaux.[/quote] I mean I hope so, but this is a bit, vague then no? [quote]Keep politics off this board...thanks... [/quote]...

[quote] The issue is that it devolves into ad hominem attacks and pissing matches. [/quote] So we should all agree to hop out and let the thread die. [quote]Look The Acolyte creator and Amandla made it political. But the discussion should be on the merits or the show. [/quote] Wrong. ...
