I'm starting a new politics board today.
This is like the other politics board, with some rules to try to keep some order. It's an experiment of sorts.
Here are the rules.
1. No posts are acceptable that don't address some portion of the theme of the thread. By that I mean, a post that simply says, "You're full of shit" or "Well, that's just how idiot liberals (or conservatives) think" or, "that's because Trump (Schumer) is a traitor", is not acceptable, because it does not state a reason WHY a person is constipated or an idiot or a traitor. No photos of midgets, no GIFs or memes with subheadings are allowed. In short, no gratuitous posting that isn't original and with an explanation. Thus, an acceptable post might be, "Bull! X happened and Y grew by Z%. You're full of shit." with a link to that data, because it rebuts the stated point.
2. No posts that simply cut and paste in total from some article. If you don't have something original to say in your own words, don't post here. No Paul Krugman columns, no Victor Hansen Davis columns. Similarly, no YouTubes either. Posts here must be original thoughts from the poster. You are allowed to cut and paste salient points of some article you've read, so for instance, a quote from Trump or Pelosi or Krugman or Davis or whatever that aids your point is acceptable, but only as exemplars of your stated point of view or comment.
3. All posts that cite a statistic or some statement by a person or entity must have a link to where the information or quote can be found.
Posts or threads that violate these rules will either be deleted or moved to the wilder old politics board.
Think you guys can do this?
We'll see.

So you are making this a WILLIE-FREE zone. No posts from him allowed. We told you to do this a long time ago!
Good job!

Good job!
Not a Willie free zone. He's as welcome as anyone else but must follow the rules. This is a zone where superfluous BS attachments, should he or anyone else choose to attach them, along with gratuitous ad hominem attacks are not allowed. I figured that a section of the board with strict rules allows both free expression, (on the other boards) and a more structured environment here. It's a way to have the best of both. If you wanna rant and insult people, you have a place. This isn't that place. |

No. I'm the umpire here. And decisions of the umpire are non-reviewable. You'll know when you've crossed the line when your post disappears or is moved elsewhere. Fred's already 0-2. |

Talk about taking away 99% of what Fred, mutt, dale, and the right wingers do on here |
