I would like to see politics as it's own subforum

He never told me that and we had long discussions about it. He asked me to try to hold my temper when people insulted me because when I retaliated that made it worse. And I actually cut down on my posts during the last couple years of the Political forum because I was busy with stuff. But I asked him directly in PMs if he thought I was contributing to the problems there and he said no. 
 

Most of what caused the shutdown was the incessant reporting. I rarely did that. The other problem were the MAGA people who deliberately trolled and insulted everyone and sought to shut things down. They’re the ones truly at fault IMO. 

Yes, they were but Joe let them run amok after Trump was elected because he wanted a place (in his own words) "Where my Republican friends can feel welcome." They were allowed to insult and troll those who disagreed with them without penalty and their pet threads became "safe spaces" where posts critical of Trump, conservatives and/or the GOP were routinely deleted.

All that needed to be done was just to suspend or permaban those who caused the problems but that would have taken out most of MAGA crowd that Joe wanted to keep. So, his solution was to throw the baby out with the bathwater and punish everyone by shutting down the PSF and prohibiting any political discussion at all (including even just posting breaking news that had political aspects, like about the attempted assassination).

This is pretty accurate.

Nobody talks Football here, so why not? 

A subforum may not be a bad idea

My recollection was that posters that were acting nuts would get banned how they determined who was nuts was often time tricky for a variety of reasons.They got sick of doing that, people whining, it was no longer worth the time for the return to them plus they didn’t want to be associated with it.

That’s how I remember it. 

Yeah, none of you guys that post here all day had anything to do with it. It was some other guys.

I didn’t really lay blame on particular side. But you for instance would def have been a problem and cried non-stop about unfair treatment

You and Tim were two of the biggest trolls over there.  You just trolled the place with stupid little gotcha tweets because you lack the ability to think for yourself.  And Tim would troll the place with 1000's of post overtalking everyone.  And if someone trolled either of you back, you both mashed the report button.

You act like people didn't read your nonsense over there.  You did troll people whenever you got owned in a discussion, which was often.  You couldn't just take your L and move on because you have to have the last word in every topic.  No one else could even have a discussion without you jumping in and posting 300 times in every ##### thread every day.  And all you did was repeat yourself over and over and over and tell someone else they're wrong.   That's your style.  

Squis literally had a temper tantrum about a laughing emoji.  And another one about a pigeon emoji created by one of the moderators.  And about people using pigeons in their avatars.  He whined so much to Joe he got all three of those things banned.  And trolled threads with stupid twitter gotcha posts from left wing nutjobs because he can't think for himself.  Until Joe had to ban that too because everyone hated him there.  Even most of the libs.

I posted over there using a different username. I ONLY posted in the Trump for president thread. You guys consistently came into that thread and harassed the pro-trump people. I was of course banned as were so many others. We had a private group chat to keep in touch with all the people getting banned.

Maybe it was the same for both sides, but it sure didn't seem that way.

I forgot about all the whining and reporting of posts that referred to that washed up quarterback Krappy.  Anything that didn't spell his name correct got reported by Squis.  Joe wouldn't even let people use "Kappy" to shorten his name at one point because Squis whined so damn much.

It does and it is impractical and unrealistic to try to ban all political discussion

As some of us are aware, all discussion of Trump's attempted assassination has been shut down on another forum.

You two just immediately contradict yourselves.

How about Kapernicus, mashing together his name and that of Copernicus, would that have been allowed?
