Time to remove the political forum, surely.
06/19/18 at 17:47:54
 
I get that when this site was set up like all sites like it there were other areas of interest in order to create the community feel. However the S40 forum is a unique resource for S40 owners with a very good camaraderie and knowledgeable people many of whom also have a sense of humour.

It's time for the owner/operator of  the forum to have a serious think about whether the bile that is regularly vomited out on this particular section by such a tiny number of people, (many of whom do not even contribute to the main site) is really a necessary component of this site as a whole.

We have the 'cafe' for more wholesome chit chat. Ask yourselves what is the point of this particular section that has so few participants but such fervent spewers of the hate filled rhetoric that unfortunately is the new normal in the USA. Do we not already have enough of that. It's become like a mini Brietbart. The reason for this is precisely because it's used/abused by such a tiny handful of users so there's not balance. It sits here like a festering sore, and taints the universal appeal of this forum with it ugly trumpian rhetoric.

This is not genuine political debate, it's just filth, that pollutes the forum as a whole. I'm sure that there are some very fine people on both sides, but let's put this anachronism out of its misery.

Lock it up! Lock it up!

Oh the irony....

Be the change you wish to see in others/the world.

Political Correctness already tried to stymie freedom of ALL speech, good, bad, or ugly, with THEIR narrative of what is acceptable talk.

If, people of the world policed themselves, we’d need no police, laws, or hate.

 I don't think anyone has to come and read the topics here.  Why take it away from the ones that benefit just because others don't?

 I haven't seen anything requiring debate of any kind.  If there is it should be more clearly posted.

 If damage of some kind is being done I would like to know what it is.

It's the deeps state, quick grab your tinfoil hat. Explain to grown up adults that they should ignore me because they are unable to think for themselves and need your wise counsel. The FBI made me write that post.

Oh Web, I understand their actions....
You see academia, Hollywood, etc, pretend that their moniker liberalism means openminededness and tolerance.
They preach inclusion, yet practice selectively, based on your beliefs, like a religion, you must adhere to the doctrine in total, or denied its club membership.....
It’s always the fault of others, when their arguments are rejected, not that it might be their fallacy as cause.

This is not new, we have been told you shouldn’t mix politics and religion at the dinner table, or mixed company.....

Why is that?

Is it ignorant is bliss, or because folks are so shallow and weak, viewing dissenting views and beliefs as a affront, and act out in a disruptive manner?

Look at the “award shows” they have become group masterbation with vulgar assaults aired at their “opposition”

Many attempts throughout time have been made on people’s God given right to expression....
Thought, and speech are just as important to a person mental and physical well being as inhaling and exhaling....

The present condition in the Politico and social arena is merely the system working, the pendulum is swinging another direction, and some folks are trying to restrict its motion....

Man has always struggled with such, it’s like love and hate, freedom and captivity, right or wrong....
When fallen man tries to “fix” things, he tries it from his own perspective and power.....
It will never be sustainable, but always a struggle to find balance.

That EDS post reminds me of:
 A Ultra-Liberal don’t like something, they make a LAW, that no-one  can do it.
A Conservative don’t like something, they just don’t do it.

 Someone has a ball, and he is in a game, using that ball, and he is loosing the game, he takes his ball away, and goes home, thinking that no one else can have a ball, so the game will stop without him.

What’s that called ???

Really love the, “…(many of whom do not even contribute to the main site)…”.
I wonder what the requirement could be ?
One post somewhere else, gets you, five posts on the T&T,  or should it be visa versa ?

This, “…but such fervent spewers of the hate filled rhetoric…”, is really interesting, especially when a person reads, your posts.

It's none of these things. He's just hitting a mailbox with a bat, driving away laughing. It's a random firecracker thrown in a crowd. Nothing more.

You could be right Web, but I doan tink so....
In my studies of human behavior re: addictions, almost all forms of it (addiction) is a symptom of another deficiency in their personality.
Seldom is it a “character” defect the cause, where they just kick dogs for pleasure, etc.

Passive/aggressive is often used to communicate, as they feel safer, less vulnerable to rejection, in doing so.

Again, look which side is throwing F bombs, instead of honest dialogue.
Frustration is the result of expectations not met.
Expectations are premeditated resentments.

I think my summation is closer  Wink
