Political Threads Should Have A Board Of Their Own.

[icyfroth]

Dear Mods..I've asked it before and will ask it again.

Political discussion on the Community Spirit  board engenders hate speech, enmity, constant argument and divides the community.

There should be a dedicated Politics Board for those that like to indulge in such pastimes.

This board needs more threads, not less. I'd rather the mods did something about the hate-filled bigotry that runs rampant here.

I'll see what I can do Blue 🙂

But you know what some see as hate is merely the truthful reality of a situation

[icyfroth]

I never said I don't engage in political discussions and I don't deny that I also have thrown out the odd mean and hateful comment and graphic. Yes I do engage in such pastimes. 

Par for the course on political threads.

I merely said such political discourse belongs on a seperate board because it contravenes the meaning of "Community Spirit", for which this board is titled.

In case you didn't get it from my original reply:

PPpppppTttttt!!....what a hypocrite you are icy !!

Actually, I'm not. 

LOL you are one that frequents these discussion threads on a very, very regular basis.

That's right and I would probably frequent them just as often if they were on a seperate Politics board. Then again, maybe not.

.......why do you keep posting on the political threads if you hate them so much?

I never said I hated them. I said they should have a dedicated board of their own as some of the comments contravene the spirit of community.

1. I merely said such political discourse belongs on a seperate board because it contravenes the meaning of "Community Spirit", for which this board is titled.

Wrong - Community Spirit  - Talk with fellow members about non eBay related topics. Which includes politics, anything really as stated, except ebay related topics.

2. Not the slightest chance of a new board for Politics.. boards are vanishing (i.e. US) not being increased. Apart from that there are not enough participants to warrant a new board for Politics.

3. Mod's job descriptions don't include creating more boards. They never reply to this type of thread either.

Here's a political board....all on it's own LOL

I've got an issue with that image paints.

The most common peg-out (D16) would miss him completely, whereas the maximum pegout (T20, T20, Double Bull) would get him in the forehead (twice) and the cheek.

134 pegout would be forehead, right eye, and a miss.

Just sayin'

I dont mind the political threads if posters are actually discussing something instead of just copy and pasting and using bold black or red writing, to try to make a point. I often wonder what they do in "real world" when they are having a discussion with someone.

I think that image is against community spirit
