A Lark Ascending Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 I'm sure there's more to this story than immediately meets the eye but I found it interesting: Story Quote
Dmitry Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Yep, white man is the devil who speaketh with forked tongue. Wrote a song 'bout it. Quote
paul secor Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 I guess we're bringing back the Politics Forum under a different guise. Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Dmitry -- We no longer have a Politics forum on Organissmo; thus your posts here and on the Cosby thread are out of line. Please desist. Quote
Dmitry Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Me? Desist...?! Am I the one posting about Trump's dad?.. No Politics forum...not even the super-secret Democratic underground forum, like there used to be? I'm sorry.. Quote
johnblitweiler Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 What happened to the Politics forum? I need to vent my righteous anger. Quote
Larry Kart Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Jim deep-sixed the Politics Forum at some point in 2015 IIRC because it had become a place where personal insults and other forms of bad behavior were flowing freely and escalating, and Jim had decided long before that that such behavior had no place on Organissimo. Further, speaking as a moderator, policing such a forum under the rules for general behavior on the board that Jim had established was just impossible -- in terms of time and energy alone, plus the assumption on the part of most disputants that it was the moderator's job to act as a kind of one-person Supreme Court and dispense justice/decide who was right and who was wrong.

A Lark Ascending Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Posted January 23, 2016 Please feel free to delete this thread if it is felt to be too contentious for the board. I thought the story was interesting. But maybe not that interesting. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 I don't feel the thread itself is "too contentious." But Trump is such a polarizing character and it's hard for the thread NOT to be ultimately linked to his present political campaign. I did find the article interesting and thought-provoking though and thanks for posting it Bev. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Posted January 23, 2016 Yes, I realise he's a touchy person to refer to. I'll try and steer clear of mentioning him. Quote
BillF Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Am I still allowed to say "You've trumped!"? (When appropriate, of course.) Quote
