Meglamaniac Posted March 17 Posted March 17 The same fate as the FBG Political Board? It would seem so with the same cast of characters moving the GC in that direction. It's a shame but IMHO it's inevitable. A huge increase in edited thread titles, deleted posts/threads, suspensions and a large cast of banned people continuing to post under a different handle. All of this adds up to much more work for FFMike and at some point enough will become enough. Till that day the usual suspects will continue the day to day borage of garbage posting, twiita spamming and overall batchit posting making sure to tell everyone else what to think, how to act and how to live. See you all on the other side 2 Quote

TimHauck Posted March 17 Posted March 17 All only one side’s fault according to @Meglamaniac I’m sure 1 1 Quote
TimHauck Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Also lol at @Meglamaniac blaming “banned posters” I know he’s primarily talking about RealTim, when if RealTim was permabanned for their exchange he 100% should have been too. 1 Quote

posty Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Getting rid of posters posting about politics 24/7 would be the smartest thing initially... It can't be good for one's health as they have zero variety in their life... 2 Quote
supermike80 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Not that I will be missed, but now that real Tim is back, I have a significantly reduced interest in coming here. Sorry but that's just fact 3 3 Quote

It's basically a microcosm of what's happening in this country. Most people don't believe in the crazy stances and policies extremists are getting enacted all over the country. But most of us just want to live our normal lives. We're not overly political but are willing to have intelligent, rational discourse. When it devolves in to the extremist, irrational talk like Tim and others constantly spew we tune out. Unfortunately, unlike this bored, when we do that too much in real life we end up with kids getting castrated, open borders, and sanctuary cities. 2 Quote

Probably because guys like Tim are at least as polite as his right-wing counterparts, but they never seem to get TOs despite political swordfighting all day long in addition to posting nonstop insults, racist comments, and tranny content. Because the righties are also the ones constantly hitting the report button. 3 3 Quote

Their mods were very left leaning as was the owner, only difference there was if you were suspended or banned they made sure to do the same to any alias suspended/banned posters created. Quote
Hardcore troubadour Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Saints repost something he read that takes up half the page three times in a row without a reply. What’s funny is he thinks anyone reads it. Quote
supermike80 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 What's funny to me...The name calling etc.....Weirdly I am 100% ok with that. I don't care. Call me names for my positions.. Call me anything you want. What I don't like is guys like Timmy, projecting this "I am smarter than all of you attitude" always and in almost every post. Its that holier than thou attitude I despise here. I don't know why it bugs me, but it does. And Tim is the king of that. Anyway, thats why I am going to be here less. I won't lie like Tim does and say I am completely done here. 1 Quote

Not only did the board have the same type of fighting this exact same topic comes up at least once a year. How the geek club is dying because of the fighting and bickering. It has always been this way. Maybe more politics but the fact is the country is more divided than it was then. Quote

There was no where near the same bickering, there was good hearted ribbing, posters weren't bothered by being made fun of, most laughed along and politics was no where to be found. Guess the geek was a great example, posters willingly submitted pics to be made fun of, by all and no one got offended, it was just good fun 1 Quote
