Explaination on topic closing
« on: May 08, 2020, 12:34:40 PM »
Fellas,

I admire how that thread was handled, but it got to a point where names were getting used and that can lead to a bad path as we are all clearly different in our preferences.

With the news that came out yesterday from the DOJ and the fallout that's going to come, I just felt like that thread would have gone worse than it already started to get.

I'm completely open for discussion on this. I'm not a dictator - this place is for ALL of us. Tell me what you think.

I agree.  I thought "we" did pretty well, but an election is upcoming.  My preference is not to have a clue about the political leanings of any poster here.  There is an area for that.  It is a bit .... um ...., different.

Most of those posters there would not survive around here I think even posting about football.

There's a whole forum at the bottom of the list where people can discuss politics.  I suggest that people that can't help but interject their personal opinions on politics, go there and discuss it to their hearts' content.

It never turned into a pie discussion,  so it had to go.

Yeah, it was a valiant effort to keep it about policy rather than politics, but I think it was almost inevitable that it would end up there--particularly in an election year.

It was a good example of how people can discuss how to approach or solve problems with the best of intentions, but the insertion of tribalism derails those conversations and turns them into attempts to one-up each other, which has little chance to move the needle in a positive direction.

Good call to shut it down.

Should you ever drink beer with pie?  (Not pizza, regular pie, like apple).  (Asking for an aunt.)
