... a couple of months ago about how this board should stop calling politiicans names because they're just trying their best and it makes the atmosphere here uncivil.

I guess she gave up on that one, huh?

Not only politicans... - SK

But each other! I'm new to this board, but the way some people speak to each other is appalling and juvenile.

You want me to listen to your political viewpoint and consider it? Speak to me (and each other) respectfully, intelligently and without the school yard nonnie nonnie boo boo, spit in your eye one-liners. And if you're not going to, at least have the guts to use your name so that I know which posts to ignore.

I agree 100% nm - minion

Guess you missed the post where LIBS"" - stated they had no problems with namecalling

and wanted it to continue (so they could call politicians name). Libs response still on the board if you care to do the "research". i

Head in the toilet... - SK

[ In Reply To ..]
That harkens back to the ol' "would you stick your head in the toilet if everyone else was?" analogy. (Not suggesting you, personally).

People do that for no other reason than to get a rise out of others and as long as people respond, it will continue.

Let's raise the bar.

I agree - Conservative

Once that downward spiral starts, it sucks everything down with it. You know the old saying though, be careful what you wish for. I would much rather read your posts and a few others, than waste time wading through that sewage.
I agree too, - Liberal. :) NM

By Daniel TencerThursday, January 7th, 2010 -- 2:32 pm The controversy surrounding Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's role in the 2008 Wall Street bailouts was ramped up Thursday with the revelation of emails that show the New York Federal Reserve -- then run by Geithner -- pressured insurance giant AIG to withhold information about payments the company made to its creditors. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) obtained emails between AIG employees showing that the company had planned to disclose in ...

From posters saying they're leaving, they're being driven off, they might leave, they're thinking of leaving, maybe they'll leave.  So what?   If they want to leave, how does this become a political post?  If they want to go, why does it have to be annnounced and then they immediately follow that with their farwell song bashing other posters POVs.  Is the purpose of a political board to allow the Goodbye Girls to use thei ...

Hey Moderator....smSep 12, 2012
Why on top of the post about Romney's religion, sending it to the faith board? He is of a faith that has for years promoted prejudice nad all kinds of crazy stuff. Romney says his religion shaped him and made him what he is today. I think that makes his faith VERY relevant to the politics board. I think it's just as relevant as folks constantly saying Obama is a Muslim and arguing about that. Also, why was this post moved, but another left (see link) http://general.mtstars.com/31 ...

Where have all of the posts at the bottom of the board gone?  It seems as if once they hit the bottom of the page, they drop into some big black hole somewhere, never to be seen again.  LOL! It also seems that the board is shorter, as well, causing the posts to just fall off. Where can I find the rest of the December posts? Thanks for any help you can offer. ...

Dear ModeratorJul 15, 2013
Would you please get this board under control.  I know your busy and I hate to bother you, but these messages are going way past reasonable.  Seems like the Martin/Zimmerman case is giving posters free reighn to call others racist, stupid, and the arguing and accusations are getting ridiculous.  I think everyone on this board knows there is racism in this country, but I'm really getting tired of reading all the accusations.  This one doesn't know that, this one has ...

Question For ModeratorJul 16, 2013
When I click the thread to go to the "Zimmerman not guilty?!?!" thread, it takes me to the "Like we need this education" thread. Is the "Zimmerman not guilty?" thread gone, or are the links not working right? Um...this obviously isn't a terribly important issue, so no need to break your back on this one. LOL.  I just was wondering if it was possible to go to the Z not guilty thread. ...

Contacting The ModeratorAug 05, 2013
How do you go about getting in contact with the moderator?  After the thread below about saving money on every day things, I thought this would be a GREAR positive post/category.  I know I've read several books, one that comes to mind is the Tightwad Gazette.  Lots of suggestions how to use it up and wear it out.  I've become a coupon queen, not the kind that buys stuff I don't need just to create some huge stockpile, just the stuff I know use and or can use.&n ...

Dear ModeratorAug 05, 2013
Is there any way I could pursuade you to add a "frugal living" option to our other talk boards?  With a tight as things are for most MTs, I think it would not only be helpful but fun to be able to share ideas on how to save on and resuse household items.  I know as stapped as we are all sometimes this could prove to be a very helpful category!!  Thanks for you consideration! ...

Dear ModeratorAug 05, 2013
As there ar every few nays to this suggestion, I'm hoping for a vote to make this a new category.  Everyone, not just MTs, are feeling the pinch nowadays.  It would be wonderful and I believe very, very helpful to compare ideas and suggest sites that help with pinching pennies!!  Even saving $50 a month in cost savings is a big deal today.  Again I hope you find it a positive idea and create a new board for us frugal folks!! ...

Note To ModeratorOct 23, 2014
If posters continue to call us Tbag, Tpub or whatever I say you allow us to call them Communitsts and Nazi's (at least that is more accurate). Many people are taking great joy in insulting conservatives by calling them Tbags, Tpubs or referring to conservatives as teabaggers (then acting innocent as if they didn't know this was insulting).  This is not true.  Not all conservatives belong to the tea party.  They need to get it correct too.  If they want to refer to ...

Moderator, Please Clarify....Mar 04, 2015
Could you please explain the difference? Someone says (or posts an article) that says most members of the KKK are republican and shows on a map that most KKK chapters are in the south and in red states.  Mind you not accusing any republican member of this board of being in the KKK.   The thread gets removed and poster admonished.   Someone(s) almost daily accuses the democrats in this country of being communists or nazis, as well as many other inflammatory names (and baby talk ...

Message/request To The ModeratorNov 28, 2010
Seems like the board is filled with thread after thread of posters acusing others of being other people.  I think I remember a message you posted quite awhile ago about something regarding people should not assume posters are the same people (or something like that).  I'm tired of reading all the posts saying I am Sam, then Sam and tstone are the same, Backwards Typist and Sam and tstone and me are the same, etc, etc.  Sometimes it can be amusing, but mostly just an irritant. ...

MODERATOR! Why Are The Likes And Dislikes Disabled????Nov 17, 2015
I've been trying to leave 'likes' and 'dislikes' since Saturday but am unable to do so. Will there no longer be any way to "comment" by those choices? If not, why?It's a way for a lot of MTs to be able to voice their opinion without a reply because they may be working or about to work, or just don't have an answer but may agree or disagree with the original poster. ...
