Is everyone gonna....

[FarmerChick]

jump to the politics thread and rip each other a new one?


I got an email saying politics is open. Oh boy, just what I was waiting for--NOT!

[calisdad]

I couldn't agree more.
It clutters a good board and never solves a thing.

Ah!...back to the "rubber room" i see, lol. Just popped in..about 30 members in there now and a ton of new posts. Told them it was a mistake to dump the most popular forum!

[AU24K]

There are some good posts, but for every good post, there's about 20 that rehash the same garbage without providing any serious or poignant observations.

You can't make chicken salad with chicken lips.

Best,

Friend , if you don't already have your family cloaked in a debt free/self sufficient environment

Catch up if you can .

Not interested. Everyone here knows I love to stick my nose into any political discussion . . . but some folks are really fickle and change their minds on the slightest of whims, so I don't expect it to stay --- or it will once again become a "pay to play" proposition.

Besides, the last time it shut down, I found somewhere else to spend time with the same folks discussing politics, religion, survival, and even prospecting and metal detecting if I so desire.

Nope, not gonna get sucked in again.

sucked in is the right expression Smee

politics 'never' has an ending ya know. debate and debate and debate and it never gets finished and no 2 will ever agree mostly.

You missed "Fickle" . . . as in the definition:

fick·le [fik-uhl]

adjective

1. likely to change, especially due to caprice, irresolution, or instability; casually changeable: fickle weather.
2. not constant or loyal in affections: a fickle lover.

Probably need to add "inconsistent" to the definition as well.

"Here it is . . . now its gone . . . no, we'll set up another forum . . . no, we want it back at tnet . . . no, you can't play unless you pay . . . no, it uses too much bandwidth . . . no, we want it back" - insert random lockdowns in several locations in there, and you have the history of the rubber room since I've been here.

What will it be tomorrow . . . or even 20 minutes from now?

Nothing wrong with debate, the problem was most times it was never a debate in the Rubber Room, it was nothing but mud slinging, name calling and many times an embarressment to TN....
