I think the personal attacks are what make the forum so interesting. What I don't like is the name-calling, racism, and gay-bashing.
I don't care for most of Weasels takes, but the guy makes for interesting conversation (at times). That's more than I can say for many others.
case in point...gmro and myself disagree on basically every aspect of our personal political/religious philosophy...
we`ve had some dillies...yet we check it at the door when we go into the off the wall forum and kick mma picks and converstaion around....gmro has been an excellent addition in that forum... .i am absolutely sure having a beer with him would be very enjoyable for me(and hopefully for him)...lol....
same thing with wocky,kosar,djv,chad...and even jer z jock has begun to find my g spot of late(god help me)...
why can`t folks just check at the door?...even with the zingers,it ain`t personal...never has been...
i have trouble hating guys in here that i disagree with(with one exception) because i inevitably read something from them here or in another forum that makes me laugh...or reminds me that we share some common ground...yeah we disagree...but by it`s very nature,this forum...every political forum, is volatile...
i`m cool if jack wants to shut it down...if you get a little tight assed,just stay away for awhile...
but,if jack did shut it down...given the political climate in the country..the world....theres no way that these issues wouldn`t bleed into "general"...and ruin it.....
at least jack can keep the crazy confined in one forum...something gets loose in general or some other forum,jack can move it here...
take your licks in here and check it at the door...:shrug:
for jack`s sake...he doesn`t need all the grief in his handicapping forums..i think we all understand that...
