Waa Waa Waa.

When people post quotes from a really questionable or biased source, or they say thing others find really moronic, they will be called on it.  Grow a set.

Sure, calling someone on a questionable source (like the National Enquirer, *looks at Twentyfo*  :rofl ) or for just being asinine, is acceptable, but there is no reason to be asinine in return and that is what has been happening here lately.

We used to have the mp mods to help police this place but somewhere along the line they disappeared, except for mp3. I would volunteer again to be a mod. HTC would likely never ask me, but I'd volunteer again if it meant this place could stay open and be more civilized.

Ditto. :)

It'll be a sad day when the trolls cause the O'Club to get shut down imo. I think that day is rapidly approaching. This place is getting to the same level it was the last time HTC shut down the O'Club. Some folks just have no intention whatsoever of having civilized debate.

Being as this thread's not closed yet...I wonder if an O'club shutdown will come with PNG's...?

Iirc, last time the O'Club got shut down I think there were a couple folks that got PNG'd. I know there were some after it reopened that got PNG'd simply because they refused to play nice in HT's sandbox.

It's easy for a lot of people on here to get too wrapped up in their posting. I've seen threads' that were civilized, get closed about 3-4 posts after some bozo threw in a forum grenade. Personally...I know that Skuzzy let's people get away with more in here than they would in General Discussion, but I've always seen it clean up after some heads roll. At least, for a while.

Dos, you were silent for something like 2 years. Maybe a post a month max. Now that the election comes up...you're constant.

Party hack.


Vote the issues, dude. Not the politician.

BTW, I'm an IT Director at a bank.

Washington Mutual? Sorry to hear...

Dude, read on:

Known for his generally conservative voting record, including opposing legalized abortion (Said its not a federal decision, it should be a decision at the STATE level), McCain has not towed a typical Republican line.

He has supported campaign finance reform, for example, and he has called the ban on same-sex marriage "un-Republican."

The ban "usurps from the states a fundamental authority they have always possessed and imposes a federal remedy for a problem that most states do not believe confronts them," he said in July 2004.

McCain has also opposed the Bush administration's policies on the treatment and interrogation of terror detainees.

He angered conservative opponents of immigration by co-authoring a bill with Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts that would allow illegal immigrants to become guest workers. The idea is for illegal immigrants to work their way toward citizenship.

Dos equality......Yeah yeah yeah..  I played air warrior too and I still talk to drex   met all the guys you are talking about know all the little inside jokes..

It doesn't amount to much tho when you are being a ahole here... me or you..   I have had more negative threads started about me than you could even begin to know but I don't see any point in going into a weeping, pouting mess over it.

I think you are a bright guy and it amazes me that you can be drinking the socialist koolaid so completely and..  as I have said.. I think you know exactly how bad your machine is twisting things and the reason you are getting so much flack is because you are being a willing tool.. not a messenger..  a tool..  The reason I lost respect was that you seem so willing to be one.

Why are you crying about it?   Why the whining?  You are making yourself a perfect example of all that is wrong with the left.. the glee when making fun of the opposition but the outrage when it is turned on you.

Inasmuch as it's true (This post opened the floodgates IMO to getting picked on) Dos XX has one up over ya, Lasz...

He doesn't have the majority/fanboi backing that you do. He stands up to all the flack, without any real backup. Those that do, Like MORAY, RPM, or Crockett, get attacked as well, by about 2 or 3 to 1, so they can't really help him out. If anything, the guy deserves a hand for standing up and stating what he believes in.

Dos Equis, You need to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to the conservatives in here- Charon, Hangtime, Toad, Lazs, Bodhi and alot of others are respectable, articulate and bright guys that are enjoyable reads who make great conservative points- then you have the pseudo wanna be conservatives whose typical response in a thread is "Your panties are in a bunch" (like two responses in this thread) or otherwise throw out an insult because that's all they have. Forgive them- indeed, pity them- but most of all ignore them, and read the guys who, although they disagree with you, can at least put two thoughts together without the typical Pavlov's Dog response so prevalent among the self proclaimed conservatives here. Some of them are lonely little men who desperately want to belong to a group, so they look for acceptance here by parroting what they think others want to hear. Ignore them, they're nobody you'd even talk to if you met them on the street.

RPM gets attacked for his politics, moray gets attacked because he is an ass.

I think the agw-ot board may be more to his liking.  Seems more non U.S. folks there and more obama supporters.
