    I'm not sure how this is any different from the closed thread, but I'll go along with the idea.

    This has certainly not been this thread's finest hour. The lines have become trenches that are likely to carry over to the non political threads. Sad, but likely true.

    Look what no Sox can do to us!
    There is absolutely no reason to carry this nonsense over to other threads. Don't do it.

    Oh, I have no doubt Bell.

    As I've said several times, political discussions never end well.

    I don't get why politics can't be discussed without all the hatred.

    Of course we aren’t going to change anyone’s mind. If thats the reason people are here they are wasting their time. No one ever solved anything or fixed anything on an internet forum.

    Its just a place to vent.

    Thats it.

    I nominate you as judge for the other thread. If you decide something is too political for that thread the post should be removed by the person who posted it, no questions asked.

    If everyone else is in and you are willing then I am in too.

    I understand the need to vent. Do we need to be so nasty towards one another while doing so?

    It's kind of a male ego thing, it's primal and definitely stupid. We try to get the better of each other. From an early age, boys form gangs and try to terrorize each other.

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    If I see a post that I don't think belongs there, I will certainly say something. I don't feel like I should be the only judge of that, however. It's not necessarily just political posts either. It's also posts that have a tone that has definitely spilled over from the other thread.

    Well, no that's not what I said. There are always certain kinds of posts that get people banned.

    Fair enough
    I agree to abide by your judgment over there. Hopefully others will sign on too. Not that you need to monitor every post.

    From what I saw on the last thread, I'm not sure what more could be said to not get banned, except maybe threatening another's life.

    I do think there's a lot of truth to that, at least from what I've noticed here. To me, the ability to walk away when the discussion turns ugly is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness. Don't stoop the other's level.

    If you guys want to boost your egos, ignore all nasty comments and walk away. Let the other person have the last word. (I don't think my advice is going to work. LOL)

    Nobody is going to see it. Even if they did chances are their haircut is at least as bad.

    Exactly.

    And it’s not like you were that much to look at before
