We get it. You don't like a politics forum on BARF. You don't have to keep repeating yourself.

The forum is out of sight, out of mind unless you want to see it. Don't understand why you're so adamant about something that doesn't affect you.

Maybe have more faith that people have learned a lot from the first go-round.

The word you are searching for is, "tautology". ;-)

After the little back and forth he and I did, I think he is more trying to have Budman not have to get involved. We know Budman really does not want this, but he is willing to give it a second go (with different rules). I applaud both ST Guy (for his concern of Budman and the Mods) and Budman (willing to give it a second chance).

As Budman said above, based on what he is seeing here, he does not have high hopes on PolSink 2.0 surviving. I was not part of the previous PolSink as I did not really care about politics, but now I am more interested in hearing other view points as most of the news now-a-days is crap.

I can jive with that. Even though I've asked to be part of polsink 2.0, I highly doubt I'll be as active. I didn't exactly miss it.
 
OK, I say this once.
It's me.
its me, ok, that is twice.

This abuse and insults of other members bothers budman and others so much that the former PS was closed.
I take on the tasks of making it happen again without the mean ugly shit. We are trying to set this up so budman does not hoave to deal with it.

I have not all mod powers so if this goes sideways budman will be dragged in.
Be polite. Display good manners. All will be good.
 
People who have ideas that are put down by a majority always scream that they are in an "echo chamber" of the opposing viewpoints. I say bullshit.

Maybe, as I said, your ideas are that bad, or you are bringing them to the wrong place and you just don't have like-minded support there (or your like minded folks decided to keep silent)

Bay Area riders will likely lean a certain way given the larger political demographics, certain ideas will likely be unpopular to a majority of average bay area people, where maybe on a gun forum in texas, they would be cheered in that "echo chamber"

Know your audience and be prepared for vocal thumbs down from 100% of respondents. Deal with it or STFU.
1A and all that

The political news and views that I get from the PoliSink are often more concise and spot on that anything publicly available. I'm happy it has been renewed for a second season and will hopefully stay available through the next presidential election - fingers crossed.

as I like to mutter under my breath at wedding receptions, "I give 'em six months."

probably why I don't get invited to many weddings--standards of civility, and all that, no doubt. :x

I know several people said that about me and the wife 47+ years ago. So there is hope for PF 2.0

At least it's not going to be as bad the Countersteering sub-forum. That place is fucking BRUTAL!
