How relatively calm and peaceful (with certain exceptions) it has been here since a few nutjobs left the board?

Bo-bo the Clown, for one. That appears to account for a great deal of the recent calm.

Let's be real. Bo and Gordon were the same person. Nina and Sunset Rose are the same person. Some of the truly troglodytic lefties like Yuri, Saladin2 and Julie seem to be here off and on.

Overall, you're right, it is nicer around here! :D
 
I ran into a few of them over at PH, but some of the mods got me well and truly pissed off and I left. That place is overrun with trolls, and when you call them out they report you and the sorry-assed mods don't even bother to review the threads before handing out infractions. I posted a "Ya'll can kiss my ass" thread and bounced....

PH is dying. Don't bother with it.

There are a couple of other boards I've been lurking at, but I haven't registered yet. At least one of them has a fair amount of PJ folks, so I'll probably sign up, sooner or later.

Note (you probably did) that I said PH is dying.............not PJ.
If I change boards I won't follow PJ libs anywhere. I will avoid them.

Oh, I wouldn't leave here.... I just like a little variety. I can only go over the same arguments with the same people so many times. We need some new folks here for me to fight with. ;)

You need to step back and realize, the nut-jobs (left or right) are what bring color to the place despite the aggravation at times. In the old Fray (Ballotbox/Politics), some of the people who would be considered uber nut-jobs were quite entertaining. Unless something posted is truly threatening beyond the scope of online discussion I don't see any reason to ignore anyone or get rid of them. Being offended or offending someone is just part of life. If you lose all your lefties or righties here, it becomes little more than a bobble-head zone as those in the middle tend to follow rather than lead. I'm not sure I would celebrate that as a positive (a nut-job free zone).

Agree. Good post here.
Both sides are needed on any board, otherwise the board becomes boring fast.
Some people are menacing though. No doubt about that.
I appreciate an excellent insult that's well delivered.
I run from the threats and menacing tone. I don't ever have to endure abuse.

"Some people are menacing though. No doubt about that." True, and this is not something to ignore; remember what happened with LeRoy? And one of the mods from PH was arrested for murdering his mother, so it does happen. OTOH, if one of those freaks tries to take it from the 'net to the real world with me, he's going to wish he hadn't.....
 
What is PH? and what happened with Leroy?

My thought is unless something is really threatening (real life) rather than cyber BS, it's just not that menacing. My skin is very thick (unfortunately, so is my skull... ha)

PH is another board; politicalhotwire, that some of us here also visit.
LeRoy was a long-time poster here that I used to enjoy arguing with, and he was very smart, but apparently someone with a grudge was able to figure out where he worked from his posts and did something to try and mess things up for him at his job. He took off, and I only found out about it because I noticed he was gone after a few weeks and started asking if any other posters knew what happened. I don't know who did it, (and they better hope I don't find out :mad:), but despite being on opposite sides of a few issues, I thought he was a good guy, and anyone who would pull a stunt like that is just shitty, and needs an ass-whipping.

There was a poster on this board (and BB) who posted enough for someone to find out where he worked and his job was threatened. He was on the "other side" from me, but he was a delightful person and an excellent writer. I enjoyed him, but when his job was threatened he wisely left.

My skin is thick here, but not so thick if someone takes a fist to it or threatens my family. And there are those here who do that sort of thing, apparently.

Menacing is when that cyber crapola carries long arms that might ring my doorbell. I laugh off any menace here easily enough.
The one "menace" here that gets to me here is harassment. When someone dogs my posts and ankle bites incessantly it is more than irritating. Fortunately Gecko and Gabe are gone and I didn't have to do a thing to make it happen.
