That step would only be taken by those that truly were interested in getting involved in the conversation.

I think the biggest problem with the OTC board, is that there's not enough participation to keep it interesting. The "same same" ideas are being hashed & rehashed, the same people are spouting the same rhetoric ... and it's getting boring. ... so people come here, looking for new blood.

It's not a matter of "don't like/don't look" ... It's a matter of principal - you follow the standing rules or you're subject to having your comments edited. Same principal that works on all the other forums of this site, should work here, and will ... if the rules are followed.

What's the big deal about not posting political stuff "here" ... anyway
Are ya'll so bored with each other & the OTC, that you have to start something here, just knowing/hoping that a disagreement will ensue. Do ya'll think that length of membership, or discussing the forbidden topics with civility, gains you the right to circumvent the site rules ?? It would seem so, considering some of the comments made by some members.

Oh that was a nail on the head statement. I suspect folks believed there would be some kind of fun poo flinging name calling blood bath in OTC, such as what we have seen in the OT. Surprise!! Didn't happen, then again, if the baited posts continue here instead of there, the vicious cycle of where and when for what purpose and who complains with the inevitable deletion/move will roll on.

It's simple.... USE THE OTHER BOARD! Put any amount of nonoffending crap in there you like, right wrong or indifferent, win lose or draw, without the threat of deletions for clean content, thats why it's there.

You guys were given a place, use it.
