Woah... showing your teeth?<br><br>A long time ago, I was posting in both forums when things got a little wonky at MacCentral. I can't remember what exactly was happening (maybe a sockpuppet episode or some other nonsense) and I commented on it here. I was warned by another member, not about my participation here, but by a member concerned about creating acrimony between the two forums given that several people posted in both. I never forgot that.<br><br>No one can begrudge you for wanting to take a stake in this place and protect its integrity, but it sounds in your writing like you need to deal with your problems directly with the people you are talking to.

I am talking about the integrated political banter that seemed to creep into many of the posts...that was not a rare occurrence. If MC would of kept their political forum, it probably would have been a bit different. However, IMO, MacCentral was not a fun place to visit. <br><br><br>_______<br>

It seems a little strange that you are taking exception with me for only saying that I understand how people would be offended. What's the problem with trying to see it someone else's way?<br><br>-- Cee Bee Double-U

this is insane isn't it?<br><br>anyway, my crypt is ROT13. with all the mischaracterizations you've endured you may as well endure that. i AM sorry. smilie.<br><br><br><br>"in times of peace the warlike man attacks himself."<br><br>[color:red]Libertarian Communist</font color=red>

I'm loving every minute of this thread ...you have no idea how funny it is to me to see people arguing over such trivial things. <br><br>People are offended by my disinterest in politics?? Does that not sound a bit crazy to you? <br><br>zweisoft<br>

I totally agree with you.<br><br>I get along fine with most everyone here and even more so since I don't have to deal with the political stuff.<br><br>The thing I don't like is when someone starts a thread that is right on the edge of a political post and then it spills into politics. I see politics on TV, read it in the paper, and hear it in real life. When I come here to MacMinute, I want to talk Macs or whatever else, except for politics and religion.<br><br><br><br>my photos
