    Default Politics

    Just some food for thought for those of us that think that the P & R is unimportant, divisive and want to make all kinds of rules every chance they can get.....

    http://www.broncosforums.com/forums/

    Take a look at the threads and post counts of every nook and cranny on the site.

    1. Broncos Talk 2,988 threads, 121,714 posts.

    2. The Lounge 927 threads, 117,924 posts.

    3. P & R 2,108 threads 84,635 posts.

    Those are the top 3 postgetters out of everything.

    Whether you like it or not, it is a HUGE part of the site. It is about time it is not treated as the wart on someone's nose or the bane of the sports fan site world. Embrace it, it drives interest and posts here.

    If it went away, along with the posters that post in it, I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep.

    Agreed - Politics has a lot of interest here, but the same rules that apply to the other areas (except for lesser ones for the lounge), also apply for politics. I don't understand what the problem is - just follow the rules, REGARDLESS where someone is posting - SO SIMPLE, and if you don't follow the rules, suffer the consequences.

    More rules isn't going to solve the problem. I bet you my current sig is more offensive than any political one.

    You'd lose half the people here. And Missouri, if you don't like the P & R, stay out. Pretty simple actually.

    I'd miss Top and Dread, you're right. The rest of y'all....

    and I do stay out of it. I have been out of it since the day I had a choice. My problem is when the trash doesn't stay in the trash can. I don't think it's going anywhere Atwater. I doubt you have anything to worry about.

    A.) Not about how "popular" it is.
    B.) It was made opt-in for a reason.
    C.) I don't want to have to put up with your divisive and offensive sigs in the Broncos forum, or, for that matter, in any forum.
    D.) The more you whine, the more I think this shit needs to go. (the whole P&R forum and all. Find somewhere else to spout your crap.)

    When you make your signatures political oriented, I can't "opt out"

    The extremists that post on this message board are completely ruining a good board.

    The only reason you are posting this crap is to get a reaction, it's baiting, flaming, whatever you want to call it. It's unnecessary, and I'm sick of it. It's time that the mods actually do something about it.

    Simple is right so how is it your having such a hard time understanding that we would like all the P&R BS kept there? I might agree with your opions more than anyone here but I don't come here to convince anyone else of it.
    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.

    Or posting political opinions here actually makes a difference...

    Go talk to your Senator. I don't give a shit.

    I like the political forums! I agree with atwater, if you don't like the forums, opt-out and don't ruin it for the rest by whining. I'm not speaking to any certain individual but if people are whining about the political forum, stay out!

    As far as the sigs, one word of advice...make sure you drive blindfolded because billboards and bumperstickers will ccause you to stop driving!

    You can't stay out of the political forums if you have to look at a signature slandering our President because you don't agree with his politics.

    I shouldn't have to turn images off from this website to be able to enjoy my time here.

    I'm just sick and tired of moron extremists posting on this board, and turning this board into a political board. It's not a political board, it's a Bronco board. If you want to go post your moronic extremist views, go somewhere else. There are plenty of places elsewhere to do so.

    Do you suppose that the recent Presidential election just might have had something to do with the perceived popularity of the politics forum? With the exception of the most recent 4 months (November, December, January, February), it's been pretty much "presidential election season" throughout the lifetime of this messageboard. I think one would see a significant gap in the numbers (way more Broncos-related threads/posts than political ones) a year from now.

    I disagree. MB contributes a hell of a lot.

    I like you Atwater, I've said it publicly and privately,but I do find it funny that you show up from time to time when your precious soapbox is being threatened.

    We know you hate Barak, Pelosi, illegal aliens. Your point has been made, even to those of us who don't go into those forums. Sometimes I think y'all should pony up the cash to start your own board so you can pat each other on the backs and stroke each others egos.

    I think you'll find that the majority of us are far from easily offended. If I was, I wouldn't be trying to make it as a foreigner in another country. You should hear some of the shit I get told because people don't think I understand the language. Heaven forbid I have a Mexican woman on my arm. I am far from thin skinned.

    We simply don't care to know how you stand on the political spectrum.
