The Return of Buford's Super Happy Fun Anti-Politics and Pro-Bacon Thread

[Zen-like Todd]

Is this starting threads or posting anything in any thread.

IF i can post in one started and say nice things about people i'm in.

Don't do that. That'll just bump those thread to the top and give them more visibility.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

Can I nominate other people?

[@DCGoldPants]

Because I think Mick said the 7th, and I didn't double check to see if that was election day.

I'm an idiot.

Still, lets stay with the 7th.

[@DCGoldPants]

Well, lets lay out some rules on how this should work.

#1. No Starting Political Threads? That's a must.

[jrockster21]

thats why, your birthday is special to us all.

Well, obviously.

I'm in, but I vote we change it to election day, the 4th. But whatevs, I'm in. I'm sick of politics anyway.

[Raub]

I'm in, but I think we need to vote on a chairperson for this club.

[Sarge]

I think all libs should join this noble cause:)

[Zen-like Todd]

I think all libs should join this noble cause:)

I agree. I hereby call on all librarians to join our cause.

[Duckus]

I am in. It has gotten absurd here with most people just screaming talking points at each other. Just a few days ago I realized how much time I am wasting arguing with people who I don’t know and don’t even care to know.

Just to spice it up, the mods should be able to temp ban until the election for any of us who break and post in a thread.

[Larry Brown #43]

I've thought it over, and I'm on board.

[Larry Brown #43]

Wow. Three minutes after I joined this list, someone posted a brand-spanking new political 'gotcha' thread. I made the right the decision.

[Duckus]

I'd willingly join this club, but I already don't post in the political threads, so I may not be in your target audience. I'll still join though.

How do we police each other?

Mod temp-ban until the election.

[Burgold]

temp ban? Put some real teeth into it. The person who gives in must donate a pair of Redskin game tickets with parking to the pot. If he's a season ticket owner he can use those, otherwise, purchase them anyway they can. After November 7, the survivers split the pot of free tickets. If there are people playing who can't use the tickets because of distance or whatever, they can donate it to a cause or a mod for having to deal with your two faced partisan bull.

If you want to have input on our rules you gotta join the club.

Nah, joining this club might cause me an anhuerism lol. Seriously though, one day out of deference and respect is one thing... consciously supressing your freedom of speech in any way for an extended duration I think is a mistake.

I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to respond to this comment.

You had the freedom to not respond.

I was just making a joke...I see we'll have to define 'politics.'

Consciously suppressing your freedom of speech? That's an odd interpretation. It's a choice. You have the freedom to speak or not speak (or post). And it's hardly a simple act of denial. It will alter discourse in the forum.

[Zen-like Todd]

You had the freedom to not respond.

Can you update the OP with the list of people?

[Special K]

My spirit is willing but my flesh is weak...

[@DCGoldPants]

List has been updated.

[Zen-like Todd]

My spirit is willing but my flesh is weak...

Looks healthy to me.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

My spirit is willing but my flesh is weak...

Oh, you're strong enough, c'mon.

[Dictator]

Mick said if we could get 10 people to agree, he'd be in.

Him and I count as 2. We're looking for 8 more.

On top of that, I want 8 more Tailgate posters who are regulars in Political Threads.

If we go over 8.....great.

Who's with us?

p.s. - Vote 3rd Party.

Ok, I'm done.

The Club thus far...
