The politics thread is locked so let’s talk about anything else

Politics thread still locked. Sad.
Punish the violator, not the rest of the board.

p.s. It also makes no sense to do both.

 

It's the fault of one person?

 

It's a general term. Apply as necessary, but limit it to the violators each time.

 

Call me a contrarian, but it'd be great if the politics thread never got unlocked.

 

I can’t agree with this enough.

 

Policy of Truth is the best song on Violator.

 

Open the politics board, but ban any links. Got an opinion? Use your own words.

That would cut traffic by 80 percent. And the d_bs by 100 percent.

 

Censorship ain't the answer.

 

Unfortunately, that stuff just spills into other threads. I'm fairly certain at least one of the posters who makes that happen is on a break, but I tend to agree with slacker on this one. I'll respect the decision, especially because it looks like the mods are taking a necessary stand on outing this time, but I would prefer that they keep the thread open.

 

Not censorship. Just not a specific thread. But of course, as OOP alludes to, every newsy thread would turn into the same shitshow with the same people chasing each other around like dogs chasing parked cars. So the same problem exists. Therefore, abortions for some, miniature American flags for all

 

Don't be a fucking baby. That helps, too.

 

But at least a good man and better poster started this thread so we could continue our important debates.
