Tiffany23 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Over the last several months I’ve seen a HUGE difference in what is posted here in the Off Topic Forum and to put it bluntly, it turns my stomach. This use to be a fun and nuturing place to hang out. Where we could post funny items, or ask deep philosophical questions of each other, or send out special announcements of what was going on in each other’s lives. While I do still see some of this, it seems more and more it’s been turn into a political and/or conspiracy venue. Is it me or is the vast majority of postings now Anti-Obama or describing how the Government is allegedly screwing with us? Who among you wants to read this stuff in ad nauseaum? I certainly don’t. And the other thing, many of these guys who post this crap (I was going to use another word but it would be censored out) go rabid on you when you ask them to either justify what they are saying or in any way question their opinions. Just recently, one of them, Scrumdiddle had the audacity to belittle one of our wisest and kindest members, just because she didn’t agree with him. Enough is enough. We’ve lost a lot of good people due to this invasion of yahoos. I therefore ask that those of you, who agree with me, be willing to stand with me now and voice your displeasure with what has happen. Let’s take back our form and make it a FUN place to visit. In addition, in a perfect world, I’d ask that Mr. Montana please consider making a separate form for those postings that have a political/government spin. If he can do it for other topics such as: Soldier stories and Recipes, then I hope he would be willing to also do something similar for these politics/government items. That way, all these guys can have fun raining on each other's parades and leave the rest of us alone! What say you?

Capn Geech Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm with you. I don't mind peoples political opinions, but when certain people flood the board, I say go find a political board to spout your outrage. Maybe mods could include a "flood gate" where people can't post more than 2 things in an hour.(not reply to threads , just posting.). 12 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yota691 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Couldn't agree more an the personally attacks, just like this one from lord Dinar dedicated to me.

E A Poe Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I also find most of the political discussions from some of these members painfully ignorant, so usually I just select news and read that. I know that everyone has a right to their opinion, but, lately there seems to be alot of opinionated people saying some pretty bad stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlablum Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have ran across many posts that turn my stomach and I am not just talking about politics.............................. I have yet to see a political topic that prior to opening it, gave me a clear idea that it is not political. If a thread bothers you please don't open it. And if there is any name calling or bashing, please report it. I do hope this is not an attempt to stir up trouble???/ Just my humble opinion!!!

Popular Post parmenio Posted February 12, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Freedom of speech IS freedom of speech however you look at it! As long as it's kept civil I personally see nothing wrong with hard hitting rhetoric. I respect the admins for keeping many of us in line..., including myself, when we try to defend our positions. Their job is difficult enough ..., we all agree! However..., isn't this what the First Amendment is all about..., the freedom of expression?

Maybe mods could include a "flood gate" where people can't post more than 2 things in an hour.(not reply to threads , just posting.). I do tend to agree but limiting people from posting isn't gonna work, what about people that wanna post more than 2 topics about dinar related news ...... all limiting posting would do is limit the information available on the site. Adam has done something amazing setting this site up .... which is free to join and post .... and is unsensored & unbiased changing that now would drive alot of hard working and informative posters away...... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamiflyer Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 The best suggestion I can give you is to post your request on the Adam's Chat questions post for this Wednesday. It might get filtered down to him so he may be aware of the request and have a chance to answer it. GLTY and All. Go RV. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthful1 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Offensive attacks are nonsense all together. But dont come hear, expecting to be nutured and coddled. You need thick skin, in the land of strong opinions. Its really no different here than in the past. If you dont like what people write, its simple, ignore them and dont read it. I dont think your life changing movement will have long term effects here, but the best of luck to you. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegente Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Lots of things get posted that I think are pure crap, but, everyone has a right to post as they wish...if I don't wanna read it, I click to another topic...just like TV or Newspaper..just move on...I enjoy reading some of your posts as well, Tiff, but everyone should have a say, even if we disagree with it, no matter how cockamamie a certain topic or posting may seem to someone.

That way, all these guys can have fun raining on each other's parades and leave the rest of us alone! What say you? Tiff Awe, i guess i should say i am sorry that you had to read some of the stuff in the Off Topic forum. I am sorry your stomach is turning. I am sorry you think i am spreading false information. You know what TIFF, last i knew you were in control of your mouse and you know the little button on it that when pushed it will open a topic. Yea, how about you stop using that little button and stop complaining about topics that you have no clue about. How about you leave the topics to people who know what is going on. Here is how i see it, everyone announces there opinion, in writing or a little button neg or pos, however you come on the topic along with your wisest and kindest memebers and stir the bowl of red ants and make crazy extremist comments that state, its not happening, no, its not happening and put false information propaganda to get your point across. I post fact as much as i can, amidst the opinions. There is no article that is completely 100% fact without some type of opinion. I am sorry your mind can not wrap around the truth, nor can you just stop reading the topics that frustrate you. Instead you must come on mostly my topics and cause a stir. So if you do not like what i am writing or posting, DONT READ IT. It really is that simple, tiff. Oh yea, I conditionally accept your offer that i am posting crap, because you know where that goes, on proof of claim that i am posting crap. Oh also why dont you read some of the comments that your so called wisest and kindest members have said in their comments. Oh, and i dont need to put someone on the post to call them out for trouble to come there way. I see what you are doing and oh well, to each there own. In all due respect. Have a good day. 24 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) There is no dif between the lesbian, socialist, atheistic, dribble constantly posted by you. Though were not considered as, enlightened, as you liberals we have as much right to post views as others. Funny how only libs try to suppress differing points of opinions. The problem with you tiff is that over time what you have gotten from others because of your beauty is lost in the emptiness of your social rhetoric. But that's the good thing about libs, in the end there true colors always show.

Scrumdiddles Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 More over that is a total blatant disregard for ones liberties. You are rallying to get a stop to certain information that is posted. What if some people are learning? What if some people have a change of mind? What if what is posted really is happening? What if you stop what is posting and all of it happens? What if you are taking away liberties from someone because of what you do not like? What if what you are doing is all that is wrong with the people in the US? What if one day you get your wish and can curtail any information that you do not like? What kind of world would it be? 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongalow Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Not to PLUG Adam's VIP and OSI section, but HELL, I am certainly thankful for it, because most of the folks in there have something to bring to the table. Lots of us took the advice to only pay attention to what is pertinent in this investment, and help each other along the way! Perhaps a diaper pail is in order because of all the babies around, surely there has to be CHIT!!! I respect all your opinions and would die for you to say it, no matter if you are RED or Blue. Freedom is NOT always FREE!! Roll RV!!! Good Luck all, some of us need it more than other!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carla That is what tiffany has been warned about in the past, stirring up trouble. What say I? I say you all have the free will to either read or not read a post. No one forces any member to read something they dont want to. I have seen diatribes like this before from others, then when we remove offensive posts I hear the screaming about 1A violations. You cant have it both ways. There are so many members on this forum that we all wont agree on everything, not even close. So if you see a topic titled "obama sucks" or "it is bush's fault" or what ever might upset you, my suggestion to all is, don't read it. It is that simple. Tiffany, post your jokes or what ever it is you wish and keep it family friendly. try posting something constructive rather than complaining about posts no one makes you read. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
