The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL ACCESS) KGB Political Debate Central POLL: Should we keep the Political Forums

As you all know, RL politics has NOTHING to do with gaming or KGB. I have had mixed feelings about this as it seems some of the angst that is created here is overflowing into other areas of KGB.

So lets review the entire idea of the political forum and see if we should shut it down.

FATE OF THE POLITICAL FORUM single choice
	CLOSE THE FORUM: The KGB Political Forum distracts from gaming and causes problems.

	INDIFFERENT
	KEEP THE FORUM: The KGB Political Forum offers a chance to debate on non-gaming subjects and should be kept online
	KEEP THE FORUM: I will state my argument as to why this forum should be kept in a post.

People go deranged over politics all the time, even on record while on national TV! Someone raging in private forum is very small-times compared to this. One (or even multiple) individuals misbehaving is not a good reason to close political forums.

Much better solution is implementing suspension or time-out box for knowingly violating the rules.

If these forums close I will personally miss very engaging, intellectual and civilized debates with Derid, Kaotic, Wolfgang and many others. Don't let one individual's bad day ruin good thing for the rest of us.

Only someone with thier head up there own ass would think my comments were about politics, instead of snide remrks dipped in venom. If we had been at the bar, you would be missing teeth and I would be sitting in a jailcell.

Red, It would be most appreciated if you did not pollute this forum with unhinged ravings and let people interested in talking about politics do so without having to wade into your profanity-infested drivel.

Sini, It would be most appreciated if you did not use the cover of well written words to pollute this forums with your unhinged ravings and let people that are really talking todo so with wading thru your self inveted drivel of far left liberalism.

Red, I am afraid my "far left liberalism" is here to stay and there is nothing you can do about it. You are welcome to disagree with me and let me know why in a polite and civilized manner.

You ask to respond in civil tones while you yourself instigate and respond in condensnding speech, that while well written is still full of vulgairty. You can not have it both ways, either you stop with your little high minded response to my post or accept the fact I will dog you till either I am dead or force from the guild.

How about we just remove the politcal forums updates from the active topic feed. Right now it is polluted with updates from 2 people who obviously hate each other.

There is a reason businesses discourage people from talking politics in the office. This type of shit ends up happening and will continue to happen.

Condescending is matter of perceptions, while vulgarity and abusiveness is not.

Are you so stuck-up in your political zeal that you would rather intentionally and repeatedly break KGB rules and get "force from the guild" than concede that I am entitled to my opinions?

I am really curious, what do you find so offensive in my views to provoke such strong reaction?

I am not attacking you politically but attacking your approach in response to my post. I have not sought nor seen fit to restrict your opinions, but when you debase my thoughts and my opinions with false accuastions or comparsions. I will stand up and defend it, regradless of the rules of the land.
