Totally agree. Add one more “no” to the tally.

Even though I’ve posted in political threads in this forum, I’m gonna say no. They shouldn’t be here. There’s a main forum for politics, and they go pretty hard over there.

I don't care either way. The rules here aren't conducive to allow free debate. A lot of stuff that I would use in a debate will get me points. For example if I want to debate the grooming of ****************** I'm open to getting points. If I want to discuss a certain drug killing thousands of people, I will get points. And the context of that drug doesn't matter, but because I dared mentioned it I'm open to getting a 10 pointer. I'm not selling it, pimping it, not saying let's all come over to the house and have a party with it, no I'm posting in the context of how many thousands of people it kills by allowing our borders to be wide open. I can't mention the gross degradation of our current society and the protecting of shemales and what happened in Loundon county Virginia.
So because the board staff won't allow open debate, I could care less where people debate their political viewpoints. I've had to debate using only a partial viewpoint of my feelings on several matters. I've basically stood alone on the conservative side with conservative values while the fantastic four had at me. I understand there are rules written for a reason, however some of the rules need to be revisited as should be the execution of the rules and the issuing of infractions.

well i screwed up the format of the poll, and Dorian gave me some pro tips for which i thanked him. i will do better going forward, i promise..
you know, i'm not even sure if i know how to post pictures on this site. if i can do it by a paper-clip like on email, then i'm probably good. otherwise, prolly no..
in addition, Dorian thought i was using a passive aggressive approach to undermine Unique Carpenter's decision. but actually if and when i call out a mod, there's nothing passive whatever about my approach. my diplomacy has substantial limits and, imo, some bans are totally worth it..
UC is an outstanding mod, as is Darth Maul. Darth Maul should show up more if he has the time, imo, but maybe he got tired of moderating napalm attacks and dropping into forest fires that are exactly .01% contained, which i can certainly understand..
so Michael, which way do you want to vote? fyi, the yesses are pretty much hopelessly behind, so just vote your conscience, cause it's already a done deal. the yesses will lose the poll..
and i have no intention to try to overturn the poll results, and i won't be asking the U.S. military to seize anything..

Well I like having it in the Houston area but it does belong in the national political forum unless it is specific to Houston area politics as long as the Houston area posting in The Sandbox is not more than once or twice in a blue moon.
And of course I was just poking fun but you put together some rational arguments for a leftie so I pay attention to your posts every now and then, lol.
If he were alive, I wonder which way Alex K would vote?
This post approved by Mikey. Slightly off topic…nvm.

i'd like to do a poll on who thinks political threads in the Sandbox are ok, and who thinks they're not appropriate.
i'm going to give 1 vote in favor of political topics in the kitty litter. what about ya'll?
again, this thread is in no way calling into question UC's decision. he has spoken, and that matter is already decided. just want to take the pulse of participants in the Sandbox to see if i'm way off base in my opinion.
the against group has 1 vote already by ara. lol..
score so far: 1 to 1.

OK, how about this. Using the Houston sandbox to discuss Houston or the counties in the general Houston area (Chambers, Liberty, Montgomery, Waller, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Galveston, Harris) politics. There is a mayoral election coming up for Houston and there are more than a few things I could say about sheila jackson lee. This would come closer to politics in the Houston forums and use the national forums for national or state politics.

I think the best vote would be no. Keep it in the National Forum. From reading the last few threads they quickly disintegrate into name calling which is absolutely uncalled for. Posters perhaps are not willing to post in the National forum because the thought process is that those moderators might not take too kindly to people calling others stupid. Perhaps if the discussions remained civil they would have been allowed but because of the name calling that seems to happen I think a no vote is appropriate and political discussions should go where they were designed to be.

So no it is, thanks Scrooge. Perhaps this will be the end of this thread too.

that sounds like a pretty good idea to me. keep local local and keep national national. maybe UC can weigh in.
with Scrooge's vote, that makes 2 yesses, 12 nos, and 2 undecided. so the yesses officially got demolished..
