Stepping up on my soapbox

After reading all 3 pages of this thread I'm reminded why I stopped posting at COBO earlier this year and why, in my oinion, that board was dying a slow and painful death before it got hacked so badly a couple of months ago. It also reminds me why I'm glad phjim never felt the need to add a political area to BN.

I'm sure there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of political message boards on the internet. If I wanted to discuss politics I could go to one, or 100, or 1,000, of them. I don't come to BN to talk about politics. I come here to "see" my friends, many of whom I've only "met" here, talk about music, (Jimmy Buffett's as well as any number of other performers), have fun and make a fool of myself (something I seem to have become very good at over the years). Yes, I'm free not to read these threads. Yes, I don't have to respond to any of them. No, I won't say what's really on my mind because some people would get p*** off and I'd probably wind up getting banned. But we don't need this nonsense here. In my not so humble opinion, that isn't what BN is all about.

Stepping down from my soapbox

Carry on.

Will you please stop making valid points!

I think I'll quote you every time someone posts something political, Larry.

I agree with Larry for the most part but there was a LOT more involved going on with this board than just the berating political discussions.

Uh huh.. I'm an equal onion person. Yellow, white, purple. Doesn't matter.

And I agree, Rick. 'Politcal' was a pretty generic term. It's Sunday morning. Brain cells not fully engaged.
