There has to be another newsworthy subject to discuss

[gabosaurus]

Obama bad. Dems bad. Liberal bad. Obama the traitor. Obama the Anti-Christ. Impeach Obama. Obamacare bad. Obama destroying the country. Obama destroying the world.
Has anyone taken notice on how many anti-Obama threads are started on DP every single day? Some of you are so genuinely obsessed with this topic that I believe that you think of nothing else.
I used to get assailed and gang beaten if I started more than one anti-Bush thread in a day. If I had a filter that deleted every thread or response that mentioned Obama or liberals, I could read the board in 10 minutes.
There are times when I wish DP had active administrators to clean this mess up. But, as my friend Sharon tells her students, "when bleeding kangaroos launch into space." :slap:

Lets see - what was your #1 topic during the Bush years? Here is a sample of the threads you started shortly after joining


http://www.debatepolicy.com/search.php?searchid=131838&pp=&page=50

and that is only one page Gabby - there are over 50 more

Also do you remember all the threads you started during the 2008 election season?

Seems you are cool with your anti Bush and anti Republican threads - but do not want to see any anti Obama or anti Dem threads. However I am not surprised by your blatant double standard

Perhaps you could tell Obama to stop providing so much great material and the "hate" threads would cease

There are times when I wish DP had active administrators to clean this mess up. But, as my friend Sharon tells her students, "when bleeding kangaroos launch into space." :slap:

My apologies, but the staff members are not here to delete things you disagree with, even if they are in abundance. If we see duplicate stories we can merge them together. This is a political site, and it's no shocker that Washington's politicians get a lot of the attention. Obama is the leader of all of them, so no shocker again that he gets most of the attention.

Where are all the great threads you have started that aren't about Obama?

And as for the threads NOT about him, just on 1st pages AND just the current events and lounge. If you were trying to participate in "non-Obama" threads, I could almost understand. But you mostly ignore anything that you can't get a snide remark in about. Until you can see what is clearly right in front of you - please refrain from criticizing staff members who aren't even addressing you.

Has anyone taken notice on how many anti-Obama threads are started on DP every single day? Some of you are so genuinely obsessed with this topic that I believe that you think of nothing else.
I used to get assailed and gang beaten if I started more than one anti-Bush thread in a day. If I had a filter that deleted every thread or response that mentioned Obama or liberals, I could read the board in 10 minutes.

As long as the thread is in the right sub-forum what is the gripe?

My only gripe is the redundancy of many threads. I did a quick calculation and see that the average length of thread is just over 15 posts whereas on my other board it's not uncommon for the threads to count posts in the hundreds over a longer period of time; for example the ACA thread detailing the incompetence of big government programs is 827 and counting. But that's just my personal view and here it just seems that we have more threads with fewer comments and necro-posting is a crime worthy of shunning. :laugh:

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

There's always Islam YES, there certainly is always that great and ever increasing threat. Thanks for pointing out it's importance and how important it is to get people's heads out of the sand in regards to it's worldwide murdering ,raping and pillaging violence. As this great forum has a sub-forum for any that care to discuss it but since it's in the news so often for it's great murdering atrocities it can be discussed in current events/news to. How wonderful is that? ;) And in the Religion/Ethics sub-forum here is a great and extremely long thread titled--Most recent muslim attacks --- which is dedicated to exposing the truth about Islam and its atrocities worldwide and has been viewed I believe over 11,550 times! We are ALL happy to present the truth , be it good or bad right? I mean knowing the bad is important too, right? Imagine if only the good were allowed to be spoken/discussed about Stalin/Hitler /Mao we wouldn't know of the many tens of millions they murdered , right?? Islam during its 1400+ year history has murdered far more millions than those three mass murders combined. So very nice of you to point out this very great threat. Way to go... --Tyr

Obama bad. Dems bad. Liberal bad. Obama the traitor. Obama the Anti-Christ. Impeach Obama. Obamacare bad. Obama destroying the country. Obama destroying the world.

You forgot all the threads about how muslims hide under our beads waiting to kills us. ;)

When an administration is full of idiots that put forth and support idiotic policy, it can be expected those policies are attacked. Of course, that's now we see very often, it's more often a link to a biased source that is questionable, followed with caveman mentality comments (ie. 'he be bad!' 'ug, ug, he be traitor!')… not much that shows any in depth thought was used or analysis made. Oh, that's all within their rights, and within the rules, and is all good … what those that do it seem to not understand, is how poorly their actions reflect on others from the same political side that actually do some thinking and further digging into any particular issue. But of course, that's part of why so many have left the ( R ) party.

I did a quick calculation and see that the average length of thread is just over 15 posts whereas on my other board it's not uncommon for the threads to count posts in the hundreds over a longer period of time; for example the ACA thread detailing the incompetence of big government programs is 827 and counting. But that's just my personal view and here it just seems that we have more threads with fewer comments and necro-posting is a crime worthy of shunning. :laugh:

Realistically it appears to be more along the lines of grandstanding and attention whoring. Rather than have a post that might not be on the first page, start a whole new thread. Makes zero sense in my book.

There are definitely many more new threads than there need be, that can certainly have just been placed in other active threads. I'm not sure they/we/I do it for attention whoring though. I've done it on occasion and I think my 'thinking' was that it would get better attention that way. Hey, wait, that IS attention whoring to an extent! :) Just whoring for the subject I suppose rather than whoring for attention as an individual. Either way is almost the same I suppose. So you either have a thread that is 8 pages long and 115 posts - we have 13 threads that vary from 2-10 posts in each thread.

Personally, when reading a board, I prefer a long thread, which is odd since I'm guilty of starting new threads at times.

This is difficult. Sometimes I would prefer to see longer threads. Sometimes a similar but different subject deserves a spot of its one. But more importantly, do we tell members that they MUST look around and place their post/article in an active thread if they can? I suppose we could encourage it, maybe make timely announcements/reminders?

As to the cry of members posting too much why not let Jim and mod staff here handle that? This has came up before several times and each time Jim had to explain that's the responsibility of himself and the mods. Since it is , why is it being discussed in an open thread here and now? I mean if its ok to discuss this then maybe I should start a thread about numerous other things I do not like here. Which I haven't done because it's not my business and is meddling in areas I have no right to be. Wouldn't those questioning this be better served to send pm's to Jim and the mods here? Seems Jim just has to keep posting that because a few babies cry that reality is harsh to those lousy political buffoons that they support!! I say tough shat, when the truth hurts too ffing bad.. Lets all chip in a couple bucks to buy them tissues to wipe their tears away with, how bout it? I am game and will send two bucks for the babies if Jim will set up a fund.. I'll send my in cash as I have a two dollar bill to unload anyways. Got it in change from paying with two one hundred dollar bills when buying my last huge ammo purchase.. :laugh:;):laugh:---Tyr

[Arbo]

Personally, when reading a board, I prefer a long thread,

I am of the same mindset. To me you have a thread on a certain topic, it's nice when all directly related things are in that thread. Any thread wanders to and fro a bit, but it's much easier to 'keep up' when things are in one place, you get one notice of new posts, etc. When there are 10 ACA threads, it's just annoying to go back and forth, and things are duplicated over and over, in my opinion.


But more importantly, do we tell members that they MUST look around and place their post/article in an active thread if they can? I suppose we could encourage it, maybe make timely announcements/reminders?

You can approach it however you like. My thoughts would be to simply merge such threads when they are noticed… not to actively push more work on yourself for other mods by looking for them, but just when noticed, merge them without comment. Eventually most will get the hint.

Encourage it maybe if you think it wise but not because some complain that it rips their favorite politician or religion to shreds by presenting too much truth is my unsolicited advice. They don't lie ten they should post more threads championing their favorite guy/gal or cause. That's how forums operate and the least deserved topics get quickly ignored. Seems to me they are just complaining their stuff gets ignored. I myself have never said a word about any of my threads or posts being ignored. Perhaps tell them to put on their big boy or big girl pants ,,huh?-Tyr

I read 12 but not sure why it's on point. :confused:


YES, there certainly is always that great and ever increasing threat.

And I wasn't questioning a mod issue, only that boards seem different in how they end up working out. The other board, a subforum actually, is barely moderated, with no need to be, at all so it's just a comparison on the evolution of boards. :)

So how many of those 827 posts are about the topic and not a few people taking cheap shots at each other? How many actually stay on the topic and don't get off on a tangent of something that could be a separate thread?

[fj1200]

Actually the pot shots are very few in number and if even thrown out there are usually good natured and backed with some sort of logical argument. Now there are certainly cases where it goes on a tangent but the mod will suggest that another thread be created or to reign it in. Now 827 is higher than normal but it seems the average thread has far more posts than here. It's just a different environment with a smaller core group without the redundancy of similar threads.

[red states rule]

You forgot all the threads about how muslims hide under our beads waiting to kills us. ;)

When an administration is full of idiots that put forth and support idiotic policy, it can be expected those policies are attacked. Of course, that's now we see very often, it's more often a link to a biased source that is questionable, followed with caveman mentality comments (ie. 'he be bad!' 'ug, ug, he be traitor!')… not much that shows any in depth thought was used or analysis made. Oh, that's all within their rights, and within the rules, and is all good … what those that do it seem to not understand, is how poorly their actions reflect on others from the same political side that actually do some thinking and further digging into any particular issue. But of course, that's part of why so many have left the ( R ) party.

Thank you again RSR, for showing us you have zero ability to use words in a manner that would make you look anything but foolish, and thus grace us with yet another image, this time using someone else's words. But using the words of others is kinda what you need to do to communicate to the world, eh? Perhaps next time you can find other peoples words that actually apply to what was said, instead of a quote that has nothing to do with anything discussed in the thread so far.

Gabby is always changing the subject to Bush., Which I pointed out in my first response to this thread

Of course if you spent more time reading threads, instead of trying to start fights, you would have known that

Who have I run off? Please provide a list of names

Gabby is always changing the subject to Bush.

That would be a singular, not a plural. And even at that, it would have to be true 100% of the time. Most of the time I see her post it's people like you that are going for slander and personal attacks rather than going after her flawed ideas and beliefs.
