As one who really enjoys talking politics - and who had decided not to post these ideas because of all the discord about the topic - thanks a lot.  Now we'll see if more than just few really like it!

Now the rest of us dont have to listen to this insipid politics crap on this board.

I understand how many do not care to discuss politics.  But damn, how hard is it to NOT LISTEN and start your own thread.  

and even He was bored shitless by the political ranting and raving that was beginning to pervade this board.  GND, you're my hero - I'm just sorry that you'll have another board to monitor, although things will settle in time.  Now we can all go back to fucking and sucking and all that good stuff!  And for the political maniacs - GET LAID.  It'll do you a world of good, and will help to relieve all the frustrations and anger that has obviously built up within.

A VIP member who can be even-handed and will not let their own politics interfere with their ability to be fair; who can log in and check the board at least three times a day; and who has a posting and/or review history here on TER.  Whoever is interested, please PM me.

I'm glad to hear that.  Having the new board gives everyone a place to discuss those issues freely without feeling they are interfering with hobby talk.    I think it is a good thing, and I hope some of the ladies will venture over there as well, because some have participated in such discussions on this board.

I understand that this is a GENERAL discussion board. I'm sure that somewhere in cyberspace there has GOT to be a place where political JUNKIES can go and get their FIX.

Why pick THIS website to express political views?
I think it is a real shame that TER had to start a seperate board just to cater to the members that have absolutely nothing to add to "the hobby" except a load of political CRAP.

If I want to read about George Bush or Osama bin Laden or the price of dog sh_t in Sri Lanka, I'm sure there is a website SOMEWHERE out there that has that information other than TER.

Here's an Idea....write a review!!!
Let's hear about how the Bush administration gave it to you HARD in the chocolate starfish. Was his performance level an
8 or a 10? What size were his B cups? 32-36? Was his patch completely shaved or not? Did you enjoy the DATY or DATO he gave you? Come on....lets get frickin real here. Let me guess, he met you in the oval office and his BBBJ was out of this world. WOW.....Imagine that.

This post is not directed toward anyone in particular.This is just the point of view of someone who feels like this political BS should be anywhere other than this REVIEW board. .02cents

I happened to have had communication with sdstud immediately after his discussion board privileges were removed, he was upset about it but was also an adult in how he took it.  We were communicating about a post that I wrote in response to one he wrote.  sdstud is a very intelligent guy but the situation that got him banned, I think, shows what should happen when a person does not show restraint and treat even those who they violently disagree with with some form of respect.  I enjoyed reading some of the posts that sdstud did, they were well written, just as I did not enjoy reading some where he moved from the high ground to combat his philosophical opponents.  It is good that the Girl Next Door does not apear to be shutting the door on sdstud returning to the boards.  I hope that he does return, but I also hope that he goes about debating the points that he wants to make with an eye toward always viewing his opposition as thinking, feeling people - the same goes for those who disagree with the views put forth by sdstud and people who agree 100% with him.
