I couldn't find the thread Halx said he was going to start...

It's not there to hurt your eyes or waste your time (you clicked on the thread, after all). It's there to make a case.

I should also add that the irony in posts such as Mojo_PeiPei's is that unsubstantiated responses or "flyby" one-liners that fail to address the previous poster's well-written comments sometimes, but not always, buttressed by outside documentation is at least as tedious as he claims host's posts to be.
many of us experienced and witnessed many valuable members leave because we grew weary of the pointless jabber politics had become. I read Mojo's position as "I like to spout off, regardless of what I do or should know about a topic." Perhaps that's incorrect, but it's how many posts come off when they do not address a thought out and/or detailed post. If those are the kind of posts people want to create, I'd rather they would leave. As it is, however, I pretty much float in and out at much longer intervals than I did in the past.
In so far as there is an influx and outflux of people depending on the style of TFPolitics perhaps we will eventually reach an equilibrium and then move toward what this section will become. If it appeals to me, I'll stick and if not I'll move.
