Communist Party and Democrats

[bigpoppapuff]

I haven't requested one.

and,imho,shouldn't....the fact that some are rep and some are dem should be nothing to cause a ban,,,,the very fact that most here seem to be on the right would pretty much make a ban for a dem a fait acompli...i suggest that maybe some deep breaths be taken...

as i said before...i invited barry here..he's a friend of mine and outside of some name calling from both sides....he's a good addition to the board....he stepped up in a different thread and stated that this...not some other bb was his "home board".....


that said....resume play...

I dont think that many people here would vote to ban someone just because of their political affiliation.

i would certainly hope not....

No banning for political statments in the political area. I would like to see the name calling cease. It does not further the cause on either side.

IMHO there is not a BOTL here that would not help out another BOTL regardless of his political standing.

Cigar smokers all have something in common...The love of the leaf. I may disagree with Barry on politics...But I would sit down with him and have a smoke and a drink anytime.

Disagree with each other...No problem. Just save the harsh stuff for scammers and thieves.

Barry has proven he's incapable of doing that which is why I would prefer to see him thrown out of here on his ass. Either that or he can cease with his bullshit but that's like asking the sun not to come up ever again or Scotty to act like a human being, it's just impossible which is why I think he should be shown the door.

Hello pot.

Whine whine whine whine whine. You couldn't whine any more if you bled monthly.

Since you want to pretend you're an injured puppy here, why don't you start the poll?

[Shelby07]

I'll start the poll.

I vote No Ban!

It's kind of preposterous to ban sombody for posting a POLITICAL view in a POLITICAL forum, don'tcha think?

Score so far:

No - 1
Yes - 0

Let's get this nonsense over with!

[nhcigarfan]

It's not the message, it's the delivery. Political viewpoints are of no consequence in deeming his posts inappropriate. It is more likely than not that Barry and I will end up voting for the same person for the next president. However, because of his inflammatory posting style I have yet to see anything value in his posts.

As I said before, I haven't asked (even though it seems he is) for a banning poll nor do I plan to. Although politically I lean more to the left than right, I find his position, because of his tone, unsupportable and detrimental to the board environment.

Point taken, However, political discussions can and do get heated. If we all want the political forum, then we need to understand this. It's easy to take a post personally... It's just as easy to ignore it. The only alternative, in my view, is to get rid of the political forum, which I do not want.

[nhcigarfan]

Getting rid of the political forum is not the answer.

Behaving in a mature and respectable manner is.

That goes for everyone, including me.

Get a clue sheby, it's not his "political" views that are the issue here, it's his nasty, vicious, vulgar posts and overall shitty attitude and the way he attacks people personally for no good reason.

Fuck you you worthless piece of shit. I never attacked you until you started your shit with me. I really wish someone would beat the living shit out of you as I couldn't think of someone better for that to happen to. If you talk in real life the way you do here, it's bound to happen sometime.

Why not you tough guy?

You are really a piece of work. Now, not only are you fond of throwing around personal insults, but you're passing out veiled threats also.

Step out from behind your keyboard, and bring your shit here. Or, are you just like all the other tough talking asshats, all blow and no show?

I'll be waiting.

[cigarsarge]

I don't like Barry's style of posting. IMHO he posts like an arrogant prick...Not a thief or scammer. He keeps his name calling and abrasive attitude in the political area which is pretty much wide open for all to post in the manner they desire. Politics brings out a passionate side in most folks. Several people have said some things lately that I would hope they regret. It has not bled into other areas of the board...A good thing.

Should it bleed into other areas of the board the issue should be addressed and dealth with.

Do I hope he gets beat up?? No way would I wish that on anybody.

Do I wish he would post in a manner that I would find less arrogant and prickish?? Yep...You bet. His message is lost in all the bullshit he flings.

Wishing Barry physical harm is no way to deal with the issue. The way to deal with it is to keep approaching him with class and dignity.

It's the only way to get through to someone as fucked up as him sarge. Reasoning and common sense does nothing with this stupid prick.

"IMHO he posts like an arrogant prick"
Ya he is a doctor all doctors are arrogant especially the ones that are licensed to stick a knife into a living thing with the intentions of making it well agian. Barry is one of the few people on this board that could banter toe to toe with the illustrious CC and give the old kitty a challenge. They both are also equal in the potty mouth department and I am not sure if that's more to get a rise out of the readers rather then to get a rise out of their opponent. Anyhow you both are very smart men and your talents arguing about ass-hats in the political arena are somewhat a waste, especially when your trying to make each of the ass-hats and why they are ass-hats relate to the party they belong to. To hell with Democrats and Republicans . I say everyone has to run as an Independent and we all have to really get to to know the person we are voting for rather then just give him or her a two thumbs up because it's the party we identify with.

Uh no Cinda, there's a huge difference between what most rational people post on this board regarding their political views vs. the outright shit and name calling that Barry posts. Barry post pure hatred and calls all Republicans protectors of child molesters, blah, blah, blah. When people respond to him with rational statements of fact, he immediately starts attacking them personally with a barrage of vulgar personal insults, namecalling, etc. and it goes down hill from there.

Barry is a worthless piece of shit and there is no reasoning with him. As I mentioned earlier, since rational logic clearly is ineffective in his case, the only solution in my mind is that he needs to be beaten senseless by someone whom he unloads his venom and hate on. It's the only solution I can see, either that or jail time. Either way, he's clearly a seriously disturbed individual who desperately needs help. I'm not one who has much confidence in "counseling" and you and I may disagree on that but again, he needs an attitude readjustment and it's not even funny anymore.
