I’m closing this thread.
Unfortunately, against my better judgement, I decided to let a little bit of political discussion go for the sake of being a little more lenient given what was going on. It’s been a major mistake.
I closed that forum because it created divisiveness and animosity among members, which I thought was detrimental to the board and I’m angry with myself for letting it go as long as I did. That forum and these threads are impossible to moderate because you end up in a no-win situation pissing people off for dumb reasons.
This is a football forum, and I’m done with it. If you want to talk about politics, I can’t provide that medium. I’m sorry, I just can’t do it. I understand it’s going to upset a lot of people, but I started this place for all of us to have a place to stay together and talk football. This is a community and everyone of you are important to me personally. I don’t care about traffic. I don’t care about numbers, which I’ve seen a couple of people mention. I care about the people who are here and the relationships we each have. Seeing people who can normally have respectful football discussions be in this thread going at each other’s throats is frustrating. I’m also not going to put the mods in any further harms way because it goes against the entire point of this place.
So I hope this clarifies my feelings and I hope you all understand this decision. If you want to discuss this pandemic on a personal level, ie: if it’s affecting yourself, a friend, a loved one, whether it’s medically or if you’re going through a hard time as a result of work being closed or anything like that you want to vent about, that’s what I want to be a part of. We’ll all support you and I’m absolutely supportive in any thread like that.
But I’m not interested in talking about what’s going on with our government. It just doesn’t work here and this isn’t the place.
Again, I hope you all understand that. I just really wish I had done this sooner.
