Well a couple of things, hex started the "political" forum not for what you think but for this:
CLICK HERE in case you missed it. Here's the main part that I'm thinking of:
Now, this was primarily set up for the Scroto and Oblik situations (which was long before you got here) and NOT necessarily for people to sling the political BS which let's face it Barry, is what you spent a majority of your time doing here when you first arrived. If I remember correctly, you got into some major dust ups with a few members (not me) like CigarNoBaka and maybe one or two others with your, (now please don't get mad at me) hate filled, insulting and nasty posts.
I stayed out of it because I thought very highly of you when you first came here because you and I had loads of fun chasing those two douchebags (romilayu and stony dell) off of CigarRebellion. Yes, I noticed that romi was a conservative but his due to his lying, cheating, stealing and overall scumbaggery, I applauded when you roasted those two SOBs on a regular basis usually with a political angle, it was funny as hell and they so deserved it regardless of their political leanings. I can't think of anything more fun that teaming up with an extreme left wing liberal and chasing asshats off of a cigar board!
So when you came here, I basically ignored your rhetoric even though it was clear that others were finding you to be offensive. And yes Barry, I received PMs from three or four others when you first got here wondering why I wasn't mixing it up with you and as I mentioned, you were a "hero" in my eyes because of the way you handled romi and stony on CR.
A couple of people grumbled in the background about you and you toned it down which I thought was great.
However, now that it's election season, you've taken your rhetoric and nastiness to levels I've never seen from you as long as I've known you. Your constant namecalling and vulgar language is offensive. Yep, you have a right to your opinion but when you claim that all Republicans are protectors of child molesters, you've gone too far and yes, that's an attack even if you don't want to admit it.
It's okay to have differing opinions, no one has ever said that's against any rules but let's face it, when someone HAS an opinion that differs from yours, you go overboard and the bile and crap that you spew is completely uncalled for.
As Kevin7 pointed out:
which I think sums up how almost all people here feel about their political opinions.
You seem to be on a mission to change people's opinions and beliefs with your posts and actions here. Now if this were a poltical debate board, fan freakintastic, go for it Barry, but it's not, it's a CIGAR BOARD comprised of members almost all of whom share Kevin's philosophy regarding their opinions and beliefs and you're not going to change them, no matter how "right" you think you are.
Now call me whatever you want but I do take offense when guys like you and Sid post things just to enrage people against Republicans or conservatives because once again, why bother? You're not going to change my mind or anyone elses around here and all you'll wind up doing is pissing people off. A prime example is Sid's post implying that the Republicans and Democrats were engaging in a smear campaign against poor ole Kinky Friedman. On the face of it, I'd be infuriated too if it were true that is BUT as it turned out, Sid's "source"
was Kinky Friedman's website. That's just plain misleading and offensive and when exception is taken to actions like that by you and Sid, you guys pull a "Scotty" and ignore, change the subject, attack, etc.
So post your political crap all you want but when someone takes issue with your statements it might be nice if you'd refrain from attacks and yes, attacks on their party, group, religion or whatever.
Mixing it up and busting each other's stones is fun but that's generally not what you do.....
