Default A sad tale of two wrecked newsgroups

If you want to talk politics, if you want to trash and insult any
given public figure, regardless of your political leaning, you are
free to do so…IN THE FRAKKING POLITICS NEWSGROUPS. And those who are
inclined to engage in those heated conversations can do so there.


To be honest, I just think that some political discussions are more
interesting here as opposed to those political groups.


Amen. I tried and gave up the political groups because they just vomit up
the party line without thought or reachability. They don't read anything
except trigger words that make them puke up the canned responses that are so
predictable, boring and don't do anything to create a real dialog. As long
as the are clearly marked OT I don't see what the big deal is. I do dislike
threads that start out on topic and then drift into political polemics.
That's not fair to the people who have no interest in the OT stuff. I mean,
how hard is it to go to the Subject line and type the letters OT?
