Get over yourself, dude. I voted you a retard months ago.

My narcissism aside, a debate forum seems like a bad idea.

Maybe creating a Message icon for debate threads would help.

It seems like some of the debate threads aren't intentionally started out as that. but its not a bad idea for something to get changed on it so people know, but thats more work for the moderators.

Hey I'm fine with how it is now. If there is something posted that I don't agree with,
it just helps strengthen my believes. And if I had a problem with someones Sig or avatar I could PM them and let them know. Maybe they would change it. Who knows? I don't think most people want to offend someone. That and Sigs and avatars don't mean that much to people. If they feel strong enough about keeping them, then thats there right.

I find people over think things some time. maybe because I am just a simple county hick. ( I like it that way)
I voted no because I found EE to become my favorite board. I at first I stayed clear of it. It would just plain boil my blood. But I soon realized, if some one got way out of line every one would dog pile and set the offending person straight.
sure things get heated. As it should be if you fell strongly about somethings
but we are able to decide to disagree and move along.
there were certain people who I knew would just tick me off... But I also found in other post that same person would have me laughing my self silly.
so... I found out I like every one and have no problems if we disagree.
I also learned to like people I had judged because of the avatars. This was wrong of me. I would have never realized I was doing this if I had not started reading EE

daywane · « **Reply #131 on:** April 29, 2005, 08:58:46 am »

do not change a thing. It all good.
if some one gets out of line we are told so .
we can learn to disagree and move on.
some people I thought I did not like . I would find that same person would have me LOL in the next thread. I have adjusted my thinking and found we can all get along and some things just remind ourselves that on this topic we just disagree.

Four boards required, my caped string-cheese afficionado, with an entirely NEW board needed to be created, totalling five altogether

Everything Else
Everything Bacon
Everything Toast
Everything Boobs
Strawberry Speedbags Related

missioncontrol · « **Reply #136 on:** August 04, 2005, 12:54:09 pm »

Drew you forgot

Everything Jessica Simpson

you may argue that would fall under the everything boobs category but I disagree.....

Jessica is a category of her own.......

I do keep wondering if we should flag topics as political so as to not suck people into reading it then lacking the self control to not reply (myself included).

Can we make political stuff a sub forum?

Nope no fecal matter involved.

I know what you meant.

No was being pretty much to the point. I made the mistake of going in and reading a topic I avoided opening for nearly a year that someone added a new reply to a stale thread. So it peaked my interest. Even with titles like "Brave New World" You can't really tell if its about music, tv, or the ramblings of people with alternative outrageous points of view. If it were separated or tagged I'd know to avoid opening it. While it's true you can guess what it might be about if you see the last post by the likes of Mr C and the rest of the political peeps it's not always easy to tell if its somethine you might find interesting or even remotely relative to the hoby. I know everything else isn't supposed to be arcade related; but it seems we have a number of members who never post in any other section and only in the political threads... hence the possible need for a dedicated section.

I was asking because you've described exactly what this thread already is.

Or, rather, what it was about before the some Bacon lovers decided to move EE into B/W Discussion

You can go see by the poll at the top what the answer is/was. What you're describing is considered "censorship" by some.

I dont want to sensor them, I want to give them the appropriate channel to say whatever they want to say without having to guess what the topic is. They could say that they love sex with penguins while eating bacon and dropping acid while staring at John Kerry or GW pictures.
I was hoping to get this topic backon track. We can't just say oops the poll wins and give up. Maybe not its own forum but with the buy/sell/trade there is a movement to use flags to denote value to people. It could be the same.

Can y'all please allow this thread to die. I don't come to this forum often and I'm afraid one you you yahoos are going to dredge the issue up without my knowing it. Don't be poor losers. ~~Bush~~ The non-splitters won. Let it go.

For crying out loud, look through the Everything else forum. There are hardly any political threads. I don't just mean right at this moment; go through page-by-page. There aren't many. Political threads probably make up like 2% of the threads in there. And they are ALL identifiable by their subject heading.

At the very least wait until 2008 when Hillary and Rudy are going head to head and the political threads rampup again. For now, crawl into your holes and nurse your wounds.
