I guess my time is up here. I want to say thank you for the fun debates and all the information that I have picked up. Both from debating my side and learning about your side of the arguments.

I have tried to always keep everything civil, but eventually relented when I was continually being called everything in the book for trying to get out the actual information instead of just the speculation that is floating around the conspiracy threads.

So in the end I did start to fire back as hard as I got. But never just doing it as a your mom way, I always tried to have a point in my posts to avoid spamming insults.

I know that at times I have gone too far, but it was not something that I had done first, it was more reactionary.

But when I have to check myself and wonder if I should respond to posts like this:

My post:
Quote:
Do you guys really believe there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? do you guys really think that an imaginary oussama bin laden organized such a smooth operation with the twins? Come on!!! you guys are stoners and your brain works much better than those that live on booze and fast food. Tell me what you think!?:peace:
I do not think that there are weapons of mass destruction. I don't know enough about Bin Laden to say he couldn't have organized it, but if he did I have no problem with him being killed.

Now that shouldn't mean war on the middle east to get him though.

Thanks for the post though it is nice to hear from people around the world!

Oi man, why do you have to bring that crap here. Keep your racism to your self (even if you don't consider them a race, it is the same train of thought). This had promise to be a uplifting thread.
And get this response:

Play the race card more please. Even though Zion has nothing to do with race. :clap:

I think fdd needs to do something about the people that yell "racist!" after every comment.
When I have to wonder if I am going to get in trouble for responding because of this:

he may be spot on but he needs to BACK OFF or reword his attacks. it's a direct insult. somewhat trivial but i'm pulling the reins. :fire:
no need for you to jump in and push it either.

I'm 30. I think it will more come down to when people got into politics, which will still work along age. I started to really get into it when I was in middle school and it was during Clinton's 1st election. I did not watch the news much then, but did see how well the economy did. Growing up in detroit in the 80's I was no Regen fan since under his watch Michigan got decimated.

Then I got to see Bush go to war, which I am very much against. And Bush 2 pick it back up full boar. I freely admit I ate up a lot of the propaganda that got tossed at Bush, but I have learned from it. I am very happy with Obama being president and understand the economics of the decisions that have been made. And they are all in the best interest (as possible anyway) of us in the middle class and lower.


Yeah and all the god stuff freaks me out about Bush.
I need to step away.

To Fdd, I understand the position that you are in. This is a hard thing to do (moderate a political thread where there are two sides that post regularly), and eventually something has to give. So I will try to make your job easier.

I will try to stick to the main forums and avoid this all together.

But in parting I would like to say that people should really try to learn things for themselves and question everything. Almost everyone that has a blog has an agenda. Many blogs and news sites now are controlled by one side or the other.

Eventually the tables will turn and you will see that the hate and misinformation will just switch sides to get the other side in power again.

Keep your cool and just try to understand life is great and the best way to enjoy it is to educate yourself the best you possibly can so that you can see there is nobody out there to get you because they are too concerned about their own welfare to want to take yours.

To Jhr, it was really good to hear your side, good luck with the school year.

TbT, I think that we had a lot of fun with the back and forth, and every though we both think the other is nuts there is some good respect there.


I am not going to make this a shout out thread, so to everyone else, best of luck it was nice to meet you.


And I hope you don't mind every so often if I have good info that comes out if I post it.

I'll see you all in the main forums.

Dude, lol, seriously. I don't want fdd to ban you. I was just pointing out the fact that calling someone a racist is name calling too. It's all good bro. I like seeing your side of things.

Hanimmal: You're the man! I've been reading and posting in these forums for years now and you're easily the most well-spoken, objective, and polite debater here. You always responded to people's posts in a thorough and kind manner and we learned a lot with your precise and methodical evidencing of all your main claims. Your kind is a rare breed these days. Keep it up - get the Ph.D. and fight for a nice job. Academia treats it's members well and provides for some of the nicest jobs out there.

To all: It's sad that all the polite people are leaving on account of the bullying and name-calling by four or five guys. It sucks to see everyone leave because of the hate, but I do understand. It's hard to put it with certain elite member's abuse all day, every day. I know of three guys who now refuse to post in this forum because of the abuse they've suffered - and that's just today. It's sad, really. I don't know why this certain elite member and the other 8,000 post member enjoy treating people like shit, but they do. Let's just hope we don't lose countless others in the coming days...

I honestly don't think there has been anymore name calling than usual. I just think people have just been calling people out on it lately. It's been kinda like the salem witch trials...

However, thanks for your input Hanimmal. I like seeing you and TBT duke it out :clap:

Getting rid of the political forum is a HUGE mistake in my humble opinion. These are the times, as our country is being stolen right out from under us, that we need more political discussion, not less.

I agree as well, but unless some people are gotten rid of, then this section does need to go. There appears to be two options:

1. get rid of 4 or 5 vulgar bullies who insult all day long, cushioned by their elite status

OR

2. get rid of the whole politics section

For me, the option would be clear, but I have a feeling the elite member provides a bit of money to the site, so the latter option is being chosen. Oh well, I don't know....

Wow, I have lots of catching up to do.
I am exceedingly happy to see the Political forum still in existence here at good old Rollitup.

A hearty hello to the illustrious Viredd, I have sorely missed you and your thoughtful input on all things political!!!

I must needs roll up my sleeves and do some reading and catching up.

I have been off of the site since March of 2008...time waits for no one!!!

Dude, there is an icon for flipping people off. Just do that to him/them. It'll make you feel better and not get an infraction.

Just wait til he starts throwing insults at you every single day, over and over and over. I can now name nine people who've sent me private messages thanking me for calling him out because he's been bullying and terrorizing them on this particular forum. It's hard to take constant insults with a grain of salt, my friend.

i just realized, even if the politics section is closed, what will keep people from debating the economy, president and politics in general in the toke and talk forum? will it even stop the "name calling"? whos to say all of the hateful trolls wont go to newbie central and rip on nobs for kicks? i dont think getting rid of political debates will make much difference

Wait! Wait! WAIT .... !!!!

It just occured to me that if we wait until school starts, the know-nothing bullies will be gone. Or at least they will be too busy with homework to visit the site as often. :lol:

And WAVELS!! Welcome back. Man, were you ever missed!~ :)
