Only the ones who find CP unbearable, just like it’s always been.

Heh, you were a fly on the wall for years in the mod lounge. I think you have better idea than most what we deal with.

NOR do I post politics in the lounge. Except this thread where I've attempted to have a conversation and have been entirely cordial to those who haven't insulted me. If you insult me, I'll call you a **** and tell you to **** off regardless of topic. But I wont report you. |

You may be thinking of 2004 when RINGLEADER and jAZ spammed the forum with multiple threads per day. That’s when BIG DADDY changed sides and advocated splitting politics from the Lounge. We had had several such votes that rejected the idea based on CP tradition and the Star board experience, but for some reason the pro-split guys got bite after bite at the apple and, with BIG DADDY’s support they finally won and DCHL was born.

The mere fact that I didn’t like the idea of drafting Geno Smith puts me ahead of a pretty big chunk of the football geniuses in the Lounge. But I have no problem admitting I don’t know as much about football as some. Big deal.

2000 on the Star board, which led to the creation of CP, was worse than 2004 or 2008. The whole reason to create DC in 2004 was to avoid what happened at the Star. If it were allowed, politics would easily takeover football in the main forum, just like it did at the Star. The other binary option was to ban politics altogether, which is what the Star chose, and ultimately led to a mass exodus to CP. The DC Lounge was the compromise. |

Just for a sake of discussion, do you think that half of the reported posts would be slashed to a miniscule of it if DC were to go away?

But as politics has become apart of sports and every other aspect of life, it is seeping (flowing?) back into the general discussion forum. And. Ow you have all of the animosity full fledged here as well. My minor adjustment I alluded to is that the segregated forums brought about extra animosity to this board but, in reality, given the way life has played out, that would have eventually happened anyway, the segregation just brought it about faster. Which ultimately supports my original position of keeping it all one forum.
