Did anybody think there was even a tiny chance the political thread would end well ?

    Raider. how is this a political thread ? No political point of view is being discussed.

    @tfk_fanboy I’m with you. Generally it’s not a discussion and generally no one changes their minds. 

    Sometimes I do enjoy the arguing though in a schadenfreude sort of way

    For some reason I can't edit my post above. I'll add I am on a cooking forum and the members have pretty much agreed no politics (the site has no mods) and it runs very well. A lot fewer issues and arguing

    fanboy. I know I can't discuss politics anymore because somebody will always throw in a personal insult and anybody who has posted here for more than a few days knows how I get triggered easily. I don't think most things were better in the past, but it's true that you could usually discuss things without it turning into a pack of monkeys throwing crap at each other.

    Well Biden made that great comment which got totally twisted against him but the main message was the two parties used to try and work together. Now it’s two warring faction who only are interested in helping their particular voters rather than all their constituents. 

    And that seems to have have gotten worse since Obama got elected to his second term. 

    Sorry for talking about politics

    I see you are making your best effort to get this thread closed also.

    This thread is about a thread that did not go well, not about politics, the debt, sequester and not what you are unhappy about......so follow your own advice and stay on topic

    fanboy. I've had trouble with editing for 2 days. I was afraid it was my computer.

  • WCDawgWCDawg Posts: 17,293 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    @tfk_fanboy it’s almost like you wanted the thread closed 😉

    I vote no yard sales, but Im game for another knife thread,  FWIW, I never said expensive kitchen knives weren’t worth owning, just that they were unnecessary and not what the typical commercial kitchen has on rotation.  Please accept my applogy

    Speaking of temper tantrums - isn’t that exactly what someone is throwing when they enter a political thread just to complain about the political thread?   Hypocrisy will never be monopolized.  

    The bourbon thread was also nice.  Ive tried 5 different ones off that thread.   Currently on a bottle of Willett.  The bottle of Wellers I found was outstanding, but I couldn’t help myself so it is gone

    See that’s the thing.   Some people are okay with going off-topic as long as the off-topic topic is one they are okay with seeing discussed.  Just let the conversations evolve and die.  They always die.   Even the Gator Hate thread will eventually die.  Maybe.  Perhaps.   I dunno.   See now there’s something I don’t know.  

    Will the Gator Hate thread ever die?  Probably not.
