Election posts

[Mags 112]

I love OP Eds.......My mind is in a constant state of flux as oftentimes forum users sway me to their POV, really, no, no really....

edit: I see they didn't listen to you and moved this thread. Oh well, those mods never listen, do they?

Last time I looked there were 24 Organizers - all with the ability to move threads.

I'm going to move this back as Alex did request this be left there. Thanks.

Yep - the sheer number of threads is just ridiculous. And "spamming" was right on the mark.

A quick perusal of two members post histories (and we all know which ones) shows 6 pages of election threads apiece!

If that ain't spamming, what is?

VJ Troll and Steve?

Well you'll have to make up your own mind about that. The "Find all threads by user" function is quite illuminating.

Well, there's no shortage of responses by some, cough...cough... to those threads.

Wow! Almost 22% of the people have their opinions changed often by VJ Op-Eds!

Exactly - there is a lot of selective outrage here.

"Some" of those threads. The really stupid ones (like smoking) are just asking to be called out for what they are.

Its not really all that selective.

That is impressive.

If you say so - it certainly doesn't seem that way. I really didn't realize it was such a problem for people that it needed to be addressed in several threds. Perhaps we should merge them or create a seperate subforum for "threads that talk about other threads"

Personally, I could live without all the ones that link to news from yahoo's front page (we have at least a couple a day). I mean I see those anyway when I log into my mail. But hey - I guess I'll live.

Perhaps we should. The polls might be tricky though.

I don't know what the point is anymore...all political threads end up being the same...you can almost time it, who's gonna say what and when...

Saludos,

That's just what I think. I am equally annoyed by Obama spamming and Hillary spamming. Hillary is not my candidate but I feel very protective of her as a female candidate. I see sexist remarks about her everywhere and they upset me quite a bit.

However, I'm afraid I've only encouraged these threads because 22% or whatever are actually persuaded.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

46% are often or rarely persuaded... only 54% said never.

i'm surprised.

[Alex+R 0]

I know. Me too. Although "never" is a big word. I probably have been persuaded once or twice (although not in this election), and I voted "never."

People who post threads suck.
