There are plenty of other places on the internet that people can squabble.

Do you know of any of those places where our core is all subscribed? Because if so I want to join.

That's my whole point. I want you guys to yell at me for my stupid opinions because I respect your thoughts more than anyone on TV or anyone in the paper or anyone on a Internet site.... As dumb as I can be, I hope you all would share the same thought when I share my seriously held opinions on shit.

I kind of have a super crush on Chris Cuomo at the moment so I might respect him more than you guys. But I think that's because I want to fuck him the same way. I want to fuck wolf so he's blurring the line in respect and wanting to do sex things for the first time with a man who's a smart muscular silver fox.

I visit this site. It is probably leaning in a direction you would relate to although there are some one the opposite extreme. I avoid any thread on Muslims or abortion as those are just pissfests.


It's not just Canada although that is the main focus. I don't think anybody else from here is there.

P.S. If you get yourself in trouble, you don't know me.

The political forum on XMFan was not moderated. It was a free-for-all. Several posters – three in particular – spent more time brutally attacking those who disagreed with them than discussing political issues. Several years ago someone (whom I will not name) was quite successful in his goal to "Make America hate again." Almost everyone is on one side or the other. There is no longer any "middle ground." If the DRC political forum is resurrected, can each of us remain objective and calmly discuss issues without resorting to personal attacks? If not, I would vote no – but Hectic said this isn't open to a vote. It looks like I'm not the voter I used to be.

Nope. Like Aaron said, I don't need that kind of stress.
Like 98 said, people can't find a middle-ground anymore, and it always becomes a pissing match.
Many of us the people that aren't around here anymore used to get along awesomely until the political talk came around. It ruined a lot of forum friendships.
If the DRC political forum is resurrected
It won't be.
Hectic said this isn't open to a vote.
That is correct. I've said my piece and counted to three.

You sound like someone who could tell stories about moderating the politics thread the same way WW2 vets could tell stories if they live through the Battle of the bulge
Many of us the people that aren't around here anymore used to get along awesomely until the political talk came around.
And the ones of us who are still around still get in arguments about dumb shit and I don't think it really makes us dislike each other.

Also I get it. I didn't have to put up with that shit so if it was really that much of a hassle I'm sorry I even brought it up. But I think we're all being fucking pussies here. There's like seven of us left. We all bust each other's balls, It's kind of embarrassing that we can't maintain our friendships while still going hard on each other about political differences.

I is confused. Were all the posts since January 2013 deleted? If so, when – and why? And was this thread locked? If it was, how could JHDK post that he thinks "the political forum should be unlocked for a trial run"? I is confused.

What do Casual Fan, Memebag, and Semipenguin all have in common? They don't post here because of the political environment (even with no politics forum). And then there's past users like Ehilbert, Blyons, and Hyson who got booted or left because of politics.

And it's not a question of an "I think we should lower the capital gains tax" kind of discussion; it's a "your guy should be in prison" sentiment, which will never lend itself to any sort of measured, intellectual resolution.

The politics forum is in the Studio Lounge. This is an area of the forum to discuss the forums, in this case the politics forum.

I remember back in the original forum SBS days people just going at it in the political thread. Manco, DAB, gymeejet, TXWJ, others. People with high post counts. I always wonder what they up to now.

I only had heated discussions with DAB about Apple stuff.

Let me put this as gingerly as I can. My ability to put differences aside and have enjoyable interactions with certain people here is 100% dependent upon not being exposed to - or reminded of - what I consider to be deeply disturbing political allegiances.
