I knew a man a long long time but I never knew him at all. Small in stature, big at heart but he always stood tall. In my mind he could do no wrong misunderstood all along. He worked hard all his live to get what he had. He was a little rough around the edges simple in mind but always had a kind eye for me. I will miss you Dad.

At a certain time when it can;t be left int eh P&R section and it becomes so derisive and leaks into grudges in other areas what do you think needs to happen?
There have been many discussion about this from day one of opening this place up..
that would be a absolute last draconian action to be taken but if it causes as much trouble as it does there may not be any option..
Right now P&R account for well over 50% of the reported posts and mod actions we deal with..
We feel it can be a good place to express ideas but it can't continue the way it is..
Right now the only thing that is openly being discussed is the avy and Sig thing..

That's the point, Nomad... many of us don't opt-in to the politics and religion forums. And we wouldn't care what sigs/avys posters in those forums have if they only posted in those forums. But they don't... and if they choose a political or religious sig or avy, then politics and religion are no longer kept to the opt-in forums; they've leaked out into the mainstream board where everyone has to a) be exposed to politics/religion content, b) turn off all avys and sigs, or c) place the poster on ignore. I dunno about you, but my religious beliefs/political choices are not/never have been/never will be influenced by seeing someone else's yard signs or signature/avatar graphics.

I would say suspend there P&R privileges if they carry it out side those forums but I think that would just make it worse for the rest of us while they couldn't post there. If it's that big of an issue in there maybe the hammer needs to swing quicker than normal until they get the message.

I got mind control while I'm here
You goin' hate me when I'm gone
Ain't no blood clot and no fear
I got hope inside of my bones
At the moment, nobody is discussing removing the Politics forum. I won't lie, it could happen some day, as so many other forums eventually shut down and forbid P&R talk, because the members allow their different opinions to cascade into other forums. However, at the moment the only thing being discussed is not allowing political sigs and avvies. The reason two or three people are SO opposed to this is because they are the ones that put up sigs intended to inflame and piss off anyone that holds a different view then their own.
That's all it is about. Keep P&R in P&R and not pollute the rest of the forum with the zealotry that exists inside those two forums.
Would you mind reposting this in the Rules thread. Thanks.
that's my impression as well-- and as far as i'm concerned, you should just go ahead and enact the rule. . . let them deal with it, they'll live! inability to use a political sig is NOT going to ruin anyone's enjoyment of these forums, and if it is they probably need to be someplace else anyways. . .

We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
