What the hell happened
I take a break and the whole board goes to chit.
Why is a libertarian leaning board restricting thought and speech?

Best guess? Those tolerant lefties, you know them, they're the ones who call us racists, bigots, homophobes, Islamophobes, etc, got tired of losing every argument they got into and realized their insults weren't having an impact on us. So off they go and whine, whine, and whine some more until the boss couldn't stand it any more. So all the side forums got shut down and we now have the Spin Room and the WWE room. The Spin Room is where you agree with all the libs. The WWE room is where the real political talk takes place. Oddly enough, the people who complained about how rough the original Spin Room was now seem to come to the WWE room for their daily beat down.
And be on the lookout for a heavy handed mod newbie. He's drunk with power. Remember Melva? He's her.

Some people got tired of what was dissolving into Bill O'Reilly and someone he doesn't agree with shouting over each other at the same time. Only most of what they were shouting about was gays.
So there is now a moderated Spin Room and a (mostly) unmoderated one.

RE: What the hell happened
Always a real simple solution. You tell whiny cry baby ******* to grow up, ignore what they don't like, or go away.
Telling others to not upset the little whiny cry baby ******* never works.

RE: What the hell happened
To make it clear, I got sick of both liberals and conservatives, all the attacks and deterioration of the conversations from both sides. I want to discuss how to fix America, not what the opposing party is doing wrong. This lame duck government sucks and the American people are too damn lazy to care or fix it.

RE: What the hell happened
The board worked just fine. Anyone wanting civil discourse and respect for their dumb*** views and only that could absolutely find it. Their constant claims to only want that are lies. No one fits that. Those jackasses are usually the biggest offenders of their claimed desires. Constant attacks on others while demanding behavior such as their own cease.
Everyone who enjoyed heated debate were sure to find that. If I wanted to inform little jimmy, because his mommy hadn't, that he is the stupidest ball sucking idiot ever born, I could. And little jimmy was free to reply with anything his feeble mind could conjure.
But no. little timmy doesn't like me and jimmy having at each other. So timmy, instead of seeking out polite company, you know, the lie he tells about only wanting that, he jumps into the fray. Then after being a big participant, goes back to complaining that it's allowed.
There are posters and topics I have no desire to engage or discuss. I'm a big boy and intelligent enough to skip those topics or read past those posters. Not hard to do. I don't want any of that silenced. Or relegated to a corner.
This isn't hard. Tell the constant sorrow complainers to ignore what they are crying about. Put on big boy pants and quit being babies. And that's were the warn system is needed. If they complain, warn them. It is so incredibly easy to ignore what you want no part of. Takes effort to read through it all and file formal complaints.

RE: What the hell happened
Came from another board that tried the same thing as is going on here. Two boards. One heavily moderated for the constant complainers who claimed thats what they wanted and a (supposed to be) un-modded one. Didn't work. The constant complainers just would not stay out of the free one and filled it with the same complaints. And the mods spent all their time there too.
There is a problem. It must be correctly identified.
It's the CONSTANT COMPLAINERS.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Bill O'Reilly or the content of his show.

Yea, I'm all in with this post.
I take my weekends off of here, so was just over at the "old" board and what a joke. The smallest thing and Wha-Wha-Wha back it up or I'll report you! Same, usual suspects that were some of the worst offenders to begin with.
No Thanks.
1. How do I get a E-gang sig?
2. I'm stealing from the one reference I've seen so far and deeming that the Horshak room.
Serious question- What were all the other "hidden" rooms or whatever? Tea and crumpets/Richard simmons? Or are those mocking references to the new spin room crap? I guess the Sports bar is gone? just realized that, were there others? What was the problem with those, having not been there myself...?

RE: What the hell happened
Observation on the primary Spin Room, not many New threads in the past week from the conservative posters that likely call themselves Republicans. Most on that board now are either Liberal or Libertarian. I don't know if people will get bored with that but it certainly isn't as much of a debate when one point of view just leaves.
