Think I'm gonna take a break from the forums for a bit after this weekend.

The way BS gets shut down around here... it ain't like you're going to miss anything.

Cant even talk about current events without someones panties getting into a knot and them reporting everyone that goes against their personal views

Was back sending some PMs and noticed I'm now on a "watch" list and I have a twenty something percent warning for stuff that someone decided I did a while ago that doesn't appear to be going down. I'm guessing I won't be around much longer.

While I'm still here, I've been thinking about setting up a early/mid war player arena on one of my spare computers and I wanted to figure out how to add some ai in it to give people something to do while they're waiting for other victims to show up. I'd like to maker it permanent but as I recall I would always "loose connection to server" if I left it up overnight. Anybody interested in this? Anybody run one for a while before?

It will go down 1% a day. You must of hurt someones feelings and they reported you for it

[Eagler]

I think you lose posting power if it goes over 80%...

Yep not sure why they locked the Israel/Iran thread..

Just supposed to talk about the weather these days I guess but even climate talk I'd political to some...

Need to grow thicker skin imo...the world is whimping out..soft and more sensitive by the day..

Ha!
I have people standing on report button when I post. I’ve been on Watch over a year. They troll me, I reply, they stand on report. The one doing it said in General post it was his goal. Now thats abuse. You’ve gotten kid gloves. I have a true sick former player obsession against me.

Your post constantly border political, because any discussion about it can’t not end political. It fell into race claims in politics.

No offense but you must be top contender in posts that ride on politics.

You seem to be searching for that loophole.

“A person can accidentally drop the ball only so many times before the word accidental turns into intensional”

First thought on first read, this will end up political and locked. Pretty predictable actually

Oppps... the Hobby Lobby news went off the air.

We used to have some great discussions about such things in the past...ie hanging chads, 9/11, etc

The world has changed and now we cannot..

That was long ago, far away, in another galaxy.  It resulted in HTC eliminating the OC for quite some time. 

We saw the same thing in the Bigweek news group.  Some of the dedicated political warriors were so insulting that the insulted people went away, and the group shrank.

There's a reason why you shouldn't talk politics or religion at Thanksgiving.  People take it personally.

I didn't realize the OC was ever closed because of it...that's really sad..

I have been posting noise since 2000 so it was allowed and it seemed to be almost encouraged as it was as humorous as it was serious...

Good seeing you in MNM oldman

Reason I'm against political discussions, I saw the damage.
Couldn't stand politics, I couldn't stand watching people intentionally misinformed even more. Only reason I may jump in.
It's a destructive hobby.

It chases players or new players away for sure. It's too toxic. People are looking for good spirited fun. Instant buzz-kill. It's just not tolerable.

The last 5 min of a football game is the most important part.

Trying to change how someone thinks is a nuclear war with little results. Most will learn faster if not pushed. Give people room for error.

I don't condemn anyone who sins differently than me.
