Is there anyway to maybe just be "temporarily banned" from the Politics Board"? Kind of like a time-out. You know there are so many other threads out there I often "ban" myself from Politics and go hang out in Humor, Sports, sometimes Willravel's threads in Paranoia! There's so many other coolthreads to explore (one of the best parts of TFP). Then I take a peek back at Politics with a "refreshed/renewed" spirit and perspective.
Oh yeah, the T***y Board is always a nice break too!
Meph, I know what you mean, sometimes I hesitate and feel uncomfortable for fear of being banned or warned for posting my opinions. It's like walking on eggshells aroung here. I also feel like lately, it's gotten really cliquey and people gang up on others for their opinions and then turn around and say, "hit the back button if you don't like what I'm saying." There was even one mod who told us to "shut the fuck up" because of our opinions expressed (we were in no way out of line by the way). That's hardly encouraging free debate. It's not a nice feeling.
However, I do appreciate and understand the mods clarification in explaining how things work. COmmunication is always good.
Alot of people have disappeared from the Politics Forum lately too. It's a shame.
Well, guys, it's our board too so it's up to ourselves to contribute content and hold each other accountable. I remember one of the TFP's mantras, "you get as much out of it as you put in."
So come on everybody, let's jump in the pool!
