Thanks guys the point of this election is to reduce the name calling and bullshit that happens in every thread.

I know I have gotten into it in some GDT's etc with a lot of you., That is the passion of sports and your team. I admit that I see in Black and gold glasses.

The political forum I see things a bit different. I like the debates and actually learning from others. I am at least as passionate about that as I am my Bruins.

If you want to make that forum better, ban Juice and LOC from posting and it will improve 50% overnight.

I'd be a terrible moderator there, because there are some bad posters that are both liberal and conservative, but some of the conservatives are hilariously stupid. And I don't say that because I think ALL conservatives are stupid by ANY means or that intelligence is related to party/viewpoint - it's not. It just happens that the biggest dummies in are small sample at SportsHoopla are mostly conservatives. Some of my best friends are conservatives and we have great debates on religion, politics, etc. But I'm not sure some of the people on there even graduated middle school.

What? It's the South!! That's NHL country!!

I will vote for Pix, because she is closest to the Indy500. They have a NASCAR game there, right?

I once asked myself the same question.

My conclusion was that I can come to one site and have discussions about a lot of thing I like or believe in. Th Guns/Shooting forum for instance. I am aware that not everyone likes guns and shooting but I am very much n favor.


Basically I can come to one site and have reasonable discussion about a lot of topics.


then they really ought to consider a name change of the site itself

So here's a valid question
Why does a sports website have a politics forum?
Isn't that like Starbucks having a hibachi chef? Doesn't seem to fit with the mission statement.

I asked the same thing,when I first joined,and really didn't get a straight answer.
Was more or less told by GITM and others that it was too popular, for site to get rid of.

I can agree with that,so I have no problem with it.

I think it makes sense b/c you have a community of people that like talking to each other. And when it's the offseason, or the Manti T'eo thing has died down, it gives you a place to talk with those people. So personally, I get why we have it.

It's just that the community I like talking with is largely the hockey one, which makes up a small part of the Politics forum.

Elo,

LOC and Juice do push it to the extreme I admit. I take the post by them with a grain of salt. I try not to let them get under my skin. In fact I do not think I have argued with either in quite a long time.

On the other hand they are not dopes. They do bring some good stuff to the table from time to time.

We basically want to do away with the BS that happens in all threads so people like you can come and make a point and not get berated for 3 pages. I have seen your posts and if you recall..I defended you as being a smart guy even if i disagreed with your point.

That is what is all about in my mind. I love to learn from others.,Even if it does not fit into my world I respect that point of view.

I will vote for Pix, because she is closest to the Indy500. They have a NASCAR game there, right?

I was going to nominate her for Golf forum mod because she is a college age female person, and they typically drive Volkswagens. Makers of the Golf.


Besides, technically, I would think IndyAndy is closer to the 500 and it's NASCAR game. Indiana...

Do we have a corn forum?

Ok so I lie...: :)

I do not have to be #1 cause we are looking for 5 mods. I just wanna make the top 5.

Thanks man. 9 or so more and I will make it,

BTW the vote says you can pick 5 people. That does not mean you have to pick 5.

As I said Clarkson is pretty much in so feel free to vote for him. Golden Spur and I am pretty close in votes.

I would be fine if yall decided that he would be a better mod then me...on th eohter hand you could easily vote for both of us. you dont have to pick all 5.

Same reason, I guess there is a beer forum which I have posted on.

I never posted on the political forum but have read some of them, they are very entertaining to me because of the arguments and name calling. Guess both sides in their own minds are either completely right or wrong.

Ya know Red Alert you do seem like a good poster. I have not seen much of you in that forum. That of course does not dis qualify you at all but in any case you do seem to be a good choice as well.
