I find it hilarious that the OP says he will stop only when he gets enough votes, pfffttt ahahahhah.

pgp people are seeing (word seeing, NOT READING) the ridiculous crap you post. The forums logs, views, not reads. Just because x amount of people open a thread does not mean they read it.

Kinda like watching a train wreck...Hard to turn your head.

I get my news from other places and think that political talk on a sailing site is in bad order and only tends to create enemies from people that would become good frinds without the political talk.

That is also why I refuse to talk politics with my friends unless I am sure they have the same views I do.

Despite trying not to, just reading these political threads gives me preconcieved ideas about individuals and usually not in a good way.

I only check them when I need a break and I think the fighting is amusing. Occasionally I will read the content if it is a paragraph or two but I would never click on a link.

Nothing positive and only 7 hours to go, sitting on the edge of my seat! Ah the suspense!

I don't read the crap. It's enough that it's at the top the page endlessly.

The funny part is imagine some one new comes to the site and see's this topic as #1. F-ing brilliant.


Have Fun

Isn't it about time we put the political threads to rest and let them die a lingering death on the back pages.

What do you all say we vote to keep it or loose it? Looser picks up his stuff and leaves?
Sound fair to you Petey?

I am assuming you all feel the same way about the endless drill thread and those that post there. I agree that it is easy to have negative perceptions about people who post political opinions on here (or anywhere else)if those opionions seem divorced from your own reality. So much so that one might not want to associate with or do business with them. For most of us it is better to be suspected of being a communist, or wing nut, than to put it in writing and remove all doubt.

Consider it done, Phillip. You, at least are able to express yourself in a civil manner. The rest will be embroiled in another **** storm before the sun comes up.

All the best.

Damn, won with a single vote. Wow.

Thanks Pete. Having met you on the beach and on the water leaves a much more palatable Pete than the internet version. . .

I still champion Rick to create a new forum outside of the open forum/discussions category and call it "Political CatSailor" or "Crap Chronicles" or "All thing not sailing" or "Keyboard Psycho-babble" . It is long overdue. How 'bout it Rick? Rick? Can we do that, please? I find it impossible to believe that there will be no more politics here. . .

I know pgp, you were given your very own F16 forum by the Catsailor god Gandolf Tiny Shorts and still wanted to infiltrate the rest of the sailing world somehow.

However, the castle walls must stand against the flipping hoards of dastardly nonsensical drivel driven apocalyptic cheese eating conspiratorial chunky monkeys. (and I do mean flipping in a very physical and sail-related way as it pertains to Mr. pgp)

You can get your fill at Political Anarchy where there are plenty of well minded sincere fellows awaiting your every post with a calm demeanor usually reserved only for Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Where they will answer your well placed articles with the lightest of key pecks while sipping perfect confections of southern Chinese lilly drinks blessed by the Dalai Lama himself.

I heard someone was trying to hump the pin at the start of a race, any truth to that rumor? Come on don't be shy.

I too think that's an impressive number to be created by 4 unique viewers. Kudo's for your persistence.
