Will this forum remain Politics-free?

[FlyingClayDisk]

I think we all know political baiting when we see it. The motivation behind mud slinging has little to do with the actual topic. I don't think you're going to be able to bait any of the administration or staff here.

Look at the list of forum topics. Pretty much covers anything in the way of history or current event's. If you can't see that, it's because you don't want to. We all understand that what you want is not political discussions.

You are pretty transparent.

"We ALL"???  Who is "WE", Blaine?  "WE ALL"??  Do you speak for everyone here, Blaine?  You speak for all members, and all staff?  How else am I supposed to interpret "We All"?

I'm going to need to go calm down before I respond further, but I will say this...Yes, I AM transparent (as you suggest).  Unfortunately, you and not so transparent.

You don't know what I want beyond what I say I want.  You don't speak for me; I speak for me.  So, I challenge your "We all".  "YOU" may think these things, and "YOU" may feel these things, and those may be "your" opinions, but I think you're way out of school with "WE ALL".  This isn't some punk kid you're dealing with here, and frankly "we all" sounds like a grade school principal brow beating some 4th grader with "WE ALL...know you stole Sally's lunch sack!"

And, I would think you would be glad I read the T&C's, and also took the time to read and find an already posted thread about the topic at hand, rather than just posting a new topic and/or just diving into one of the forums and proving out the point that sometimes a political discussion is unavoidable (which you too will soon find out...after you ban much of your membership for the same).  Instead, I brought up this discussion here, in what I believed to be the correct forum...without having brought up a single politics topic anywhere else here.  Isn't that how it's supposed to happen?  Or, is that forbidden too?

And no, you are flat wrong, I do want political discussions.  I wouldn't have suggested it if I wanted something else.  I would have suggested a free-for-all, mud-pit, anarchy environment (which is what you are implying 'I want") if that is what I truly wanted, but it isn't.  "We all" don't know what I want, only I do.  You don't speak for me.  I speak for me.  And I was clear in what I stated as wanting.  I am not part of your "We".

P.S. - I'm sorry, dude, but your reply and your tone really did piss me off.  The whole "We All" thing was uncalled for.  So, if I have somehow misinterpreted something, then please let me know and I will reconsider.

edit - Your post came off as power-drunk and high and mighty.  I am an honest member here, and I don't appreciate that attitude.  Sorry, but it really does.
