My suggestion ... don't click on anything non-GS related. Bitching about it does you no good.

I think it is because the forums have been slow. Politics are an easy way to argue/debate rile people up. It is also around voting time so that also puts a fire under people.

Always have been tons of articles posted maybe just seems like more because there isn't much else being posted.

Alright, I have a bad, better yet, horrible idea:

We lead a tirade of text-based gaming posts in response to angst from politics on political BBs. 3, 2, 1, go. High-five.

Seriously let your balls descend from your womb and stop bitching. You don't have to read the folders that are non gs whore related if you don't like.

Some of us however enjoy sharing our interests in things non GS related such as GPS units.

So we should all run over there and prove that we can hack it? Leaving you here to have a circle jerk with Fallen, Debia, and whatever other GS 1st players remain? Or you could just goto www.play.net

That much is evident with your past associations .... see Klaive.

I'm sorry, but the PC has been a political post stomping ground since well before you first registered and jumped into the circle jerk crowd. Chances are that it will remain that way until the forum no longer exists.

The people here post such threads because there's a common thread among them ... past/current players of GS. There's less noise here and we know, to an extent, who we're debating/arguing with.

On a forum, such as you suggested, there's a great deal of noise and the collective education/intellect pool drops to that of a class of third graders.

It gets posted mainly to discuss the news, not just to inform. And as Tsa`ah said we know the people here so the posts don't get buried by BS (for the most part).

It really isn't hard to not click it, just as I don't click most of the GS shit.

Since tone and inflection are not transmitted effectively in what you say over the internet - those who are experienced enough usually convey that underlying theme with things such as ALL CAPS or italics or in the case of our more wittier brit posters - the very subtle and sharp use of sarchasm* performs an ambush level 9 crit roll to the head about 5 minutes after you read said post.

*See Nien's signature for more information on sharchasm.


I will award you +350 points for your creative responses to the sharb barbs thrown your way though.

I'll think twice about making fun of the political threads the next time I'm bored and stick to the Backlash hate.

Though, the Klaive comment did get me warm and fuzzy inside!

:lol:

I will say this, posters be warned, have your guns out if you intend to post/participate in the politics folder, lots of metal flying in the air in this folder. Its actually worse than posting in the sports folder, which is known to hand posters their ass when they come across light on the knowledge side.

I wish watching C-Span when its covering debate on the house or senate floor was as exciting as watching the BBC coverage of your parliment debating. I find the cracks and innuendos hillarious. Blair was great to watch in that capacity.

And since all the politics whores here think that they're some kind of genius political analyst expert and that all the other politics whores on these forums are complete idiots that should kneel before them and their mighty political intellect, everyone thinks debating with everyone else is like shooting fish in a barrel.

You make it sound like that doesn't already happen here on a daily basis or something.

Eh, that's not really true. I think a lot of people I may not vote the same as or be registered the same as make good points. It helps to get a steady dose of what the opposite viewpoint feels every day. I know it personally makes me more knowledgeable about the issues and more open-minded. I laugh at my posts from like 3-4 years ago (although I get some slack for also being real young and naive).

Angry and bitter now they may be, but they are still very full of your radical and fantastical transformative power of love.
