If the political geniuses and experts that spew their sewage here went
to a real unmoderated political arenas on the web, they would only be
a voice in the crowd trying to be heard above the din.

Here, they can sound off their indignance and be heard as their
politics aren't the focus of this venue. This is like going to a
cooking school and watching people cook. The guy that gets the most
attention is the guy that burns himself or sets his food in fire, not
the guys that are doing what they are supposed to do.

Being a somebody is difficult these days.

Besides, if you notice, the group is already split.

it is the same guys over and over and over and over and over and over

and over and over
and over and over
and over and over
and over and over

that start, participate and grind the political threads on and on.

Those same people only seem to post when they see a political thread,
and rarely offer little advice or experience in woodworking.

How I yearn for the old days (they seem so innocent now...) of the
tearful squabbling over Norm using to many brads, screaming over
anything to do with Home Depot, and the fan boys defending their
favorite tool brand against nay sayers.

Are you talkin' to me? Cuz if you google my participation here, I
post overwhelmingly *ON TOPIC* - certainly 90% (and likely better) of
my 630 some odd posts are about woodworking questions or answers.

Now, I will admit to being politically aware, active, and to being an
OT poster - but I always mark as OT, and if that ain't enough for you,
screw ya.

And if you don't like political posts, or off-color jokes, or
unvarnished rhetoric, and can't resist opening that message marked OT
that clearly is gonna have you spewing spittle as you type, get yer
ass somewhere else.

Unless, of course, you like it when your blood pressure goes
atmospheric and your undies are all bunched up - which I can tell some
around here do!
