Is this Sandbox too political?

Why is asking a question silly? I think anyone looking for clarity and direction are entitled to ask it without castigation.

I enjoy the stump and reading all the posts, sometimes replying, sometimes not. Everyone can read or ignore, I dont think the stump has anything to do with girls being on eccie or not.
I think it has more to do with not being able to post ads and honestly, the reviews being pretty brutal at times

Well beyond the fact that IMO his motives and the origin of this, which started on a different thread where he went off topic, is disingenuous the main reason is no one is stopping him or anyone else from posting whatever other discussions they want. If people find them interesting, they will reply. If they don't find them interesting, they won't.

Bottom line - people will talk about what they enjoy and find interesting

Please stay on topic.

It’s not stifling anything. You’ve posted different topics as have I. Now Mr Gristle, you’re chasing windmills that simply don’t exist.

The Topics in the Sand Box have nothing to do with Hooker participation. The Pgh Eccie forum has never been a haven for local hookers. Mostly because of Indys. Indy’s always catered to the Ladies and Eccie favored the hobbyist. It’s that simple. Hookers can’t advertise here, have to adhere to fairly strict image guidelines. So most of them are on Tryst.

Apparently not. He’s posted in non political threads here, as well as political threads. But the Mods would move Political threads in other forums to the Sand box. Where they belong per site rules.

I think this is Eccie’s management view towards political threads in the Sand box;

100% truth

Lack of non hooker related topics that a bunch of mongers want to discuss amongst themselves?

That and the degree to which many topics are now far more political than before. We are living in strange and conflicted times these days. For example, I can’t remember a “vaccine” that was political before or that anyone wanted to discuss. Cannot remember a thread about the flu vax, chicken pox, HPV, etc.

Let him answer for himself. There's room for other interpretations and thought.

I know you didn't mean Stump but that part gave me a good laugh.

That’s not interpretation, it’s fact. Go check Mr Gristle. What he DID say, if politics permeated the entire forum that would turn him off. I would be turned off too if that were the case.

Will they? If they see 80% political shit full of bickering will they dig for the things they find interesting if it's buried down in page 3 or 4?

The operative words were... "more regularly" and focused on him posting here specifically... and it was addressed to him, not to you. You may be right, but you're not in his head so let him answer

As I stated, there were 4 non political threads on the first page of the Sandbox. Geez, I had the most with 2. Mebbe you should look in the mirror Mr Gristle. Maybe you should contribute more. And quit bitching about “imbalance”. ECcie management isn’t going to change anything. Neither are you.
