Nope. It certainly wont change anything.

There are political boards where members engage in honest and often lively discussions that makes for good infotainment. You can have fun and learn something new at the same time.

And there are political boards that will never be conducive to such discussions, where one member is so intent in pushing a personal agenda, with daily cuts/pastes and a “gotcha” mentality, that the likelihood of open and honest discussion among members, without that one particular member's disruption, is an exercise in futility.

In my short time here, I can recall at least 3-4 members who have fled the political forum as a result of one member's repetitive and disruptive actions ("I am right...my links are factual ...so fuck you liberal apologists!")

Oh well..that’s life in a political forum.

You mean that as long as they agree with your POV...

As you said, "Oh well..that’s life in a political forum."

You're on a roll!

How many more people can you drive away from the political forum or have put you on ignore? At least 4 and counting who have said as much publicly?

If no one is left to listen, what would be the point of your daily rants?
