Do we need a politics thread...

[Frank Lee]

How about a Thyme-out corral?

[Piwoslaw]

Here we go again

Thyme, please stop splitting hairs!!!!

Do you have to go back and comment on every single sentence which may, may not, have been aimed at you? Can't you just let it go? Can't you just share your technical expertise (which I know you have) with us, saving the blahblahblah for elsewhere? You're not the only one who is guilty, but you are the most active at the moment, and I beg you to stop. I'm contemplating whether the amount of help this forum has recieved from you is worth the pollution you are now creating. At some point someone will ban you as a troll.
There! You've provoked an emotional response. Are you happy now?

We can't even continue a good conversation in a thread about a thread about politics. What do you think my vote is?

[Frank Lee]

Ha- wise man once say:

Can't resist making it a political thing eh? Do things get any better or worse when we have a D or an R or even an I on the throne? If you want to address the problem(s), address the problem(s). Talking politics pretty much ensures that nothing will ever be accomplished besides an endless debate.

"A thing like that shouldn't be allowed."

That sentiment is the essence of all authoritarianism, providing a fertile environment for intolerance to take root.

No partisan politics there ^

You're illustration is appropriate. It is nearly as dangerous.
I come here to get away from the politics. Sorry to all for bringing them in previously on AGW.
Let's keep this a tech site and leave the rest at the door. We are a multi-national community. Agreement will rarely happen and the mods have been wise to leave it out of the lounge.

We should take the high road and stick to modding vehicles. Leave the politics for the pub !

Poli=many
Tics=blood sucking leaches
What is there to discuss?

We seem to have a consensus which is No.

And who are you, the consensus Nazi?

[Arragonis]

One of them yes - or rather I used to be...
