I guess for me it depends on whether it’s an active situation or not. Prior to the press conference I agree with keeping a thread open for info (but then it needs to be only info). But after the press conference when it was clear the shooting was no longer occurring, I think politics is fine because it’s just a discussion thread and politics are an inherent part of that. I said it in the other thread, but to me it is like having an Election Day thread, but not wanting any politics in it. It doesn’t work like that.
Its pretty simple if you want to keep the thread on the main page, keep politics out of it. If you want to talk about the politics of it, go to a thread already in the Cave.
Sure. I guess I don’t feel very strongly that a thread about an event that has already occurred, and in which politics is an integral part, should be kept free of politics.
Especially when the "who, what, where, why, and how" all are linked to politics to some degree due to the uniqueness of the issue globally.
people like this is why the threads end up in the cave.
You want to take that somewhere else?
In the early days those late night conversations between Pants and GTO used to really drive up the post count.
My non off the wall suggestion would be Portugal. Can visit wine country in the north, Lisbon and it's luxurious suburbs on the west coast (even Estoril where James Bond was "invented"!) and the very warm beaches of the south Algarve region.
How about Slovenia?
This point could also be made without insinuating that people in this thread who have a different take than mine are pathetic and toxic.
One of the earlier iterations of CF allowed you to see a ranked list of how many posts each user had. I know at least one of the most frequent posters on the list passed away, sadly I can't remember who it was any longer.
