Threadjackers Will Be Persecuted (Maybe Even Prosecuted)

[Anonymous]

Brian,

I just want you to know that there are some on this board who consider you to be a hero. I’m one of them. It’s been an honor posting on the same message board as you. An honor.

UCGal – It was not politically slanted. It was about how people react to taxes and brian, out of the blue, made a comment about right wingers and stupid voters.

Perhaps you missed it. All I know is – Rich nuked it so in his eyes it was not acceptable. Argue with him about it.

Added: While arguing with Rich, make sure you reference the following quote: “Do not try to turn any discussion, even if already political in nature, into a left-vs-right slapfest.”

Alright, this conversation is getting a little exasperating.

Is it that hard to distinguish between intelligent debate (political or otherwise) and purposeful attempts to start left-vs-right flame wars?

It isn’t for me. And sorry Brian, you can defend it all you want, but you have done it a million times and your claim that you are “responding” or “defending” is just disingenuous. The comment I deleted was attempt to rile people up and start yet another partisan namecalling debate. If you didn’t recognize it as such, well, I don’t really care.

Any attempt to recast this threadjacking issue as one side being victimized by the other, just because Brian is the most prominent threadjacker, is ridiculous. For instance, earlier today I deleted a profoundly insipid thread by NewToSanDiego called “a modest proposal” because it was nothing but an obvious and lame attempt to start a flame war (coming from the ultra right wing side). Believe me, that guy/gal is every bit as close to Banville as Brian.

So please, people, let’s not make this more complicated than it is. I’m just asking people to not start political flame wars. It’s pretty simple.

You are doing it again. can you just stop? If someone says something you disagree with politically try biting your lip for a change.

Political posts around the presidential elections are one thing but we are far removed from that. Lets talk about more real estate here and less politicas. OK, an occasional forray into what’s in my glass-at his moment a wonderful Shiraz-Viognier blend from the Barossa Valley- is OK too.
