I save all my useless energy for real life, would have a hard time posting smack about people I dont really know. I just want to unsubscribe it shouldnt be to hard for one of the MOD's to send me a private message and let me out......unless they are related to Jim J or Charlie M then I guess I have been assimulated.

I clearly must have missed something, as I thought things had actually been reasonably sedate in that board, at least, compared to the run up to the election. Admittedly, with my gnat-length attention span I hadn't been following the two remaining active threads all that closely so maybe it had gotten bad, but I thought people were limiting their negative comments to the arguments presented, and not the person making it.

I'm sorry because it's one of the few places I know where liberals and conservatives regularly converse with each other. I really like reading everyone's thoughts, even when I disagree with them.

My absolute favorite poster there ever was Bababoyee (it's been so long I can't even remember how to spell his screen name) and he and I didn't agree on ANYTHING. There was a great thread he sparked off that veered into a discussion of the use of the word c*nt. Anyone else remember that one?

I logged in this morning and thought that the Mayan Apocalypse had taken out the political forum.

It's a shame - now there really isn't anywhere else to discuss current (non-horse related) events on the board. I wonder what percentage of posts were made there as opposed to the others?

If Riot ever does log back in, she'll be shocked (but she'll think she won every argument)

My favorite poster was Nascar who had the unique ability to galvanize the entire Forum against him. Righties and Lefties together as one.

He was great. One of my all-time favorite politics threads is when Nascar started posting and saying that it wasn't him posting but his wife who just stumbled across the computer and saw the thread....priceless.

My other favorite one was about the aspiring politician who admitted having sex with a watermelon and a donkey.

The politics room was pretty awful and I completely understand why Steve got rid of it....but there certainly were some entertaining moments on there.

Ohhhh.... Nascar... yeah. No one could get people hurling abuse like he could. And yet he kept coming back for more. He was the living embodiment of "Tubthumping."

Sh*t. Apologies for the earworm.
