I think that this influx will die off in a couple of days, but yeah. We do need a mod here. Occrider's already been voted in twice but nothing's been done about it. So, Swamper, how about it? |
Ah yes, I won the popular vote ... but who won the electoral vote??? :p |

Hey occrider. We have different views but I support you being the mod of this forum. You are one of the most knowledgeable people I know on this board...along with Diginut. Compliments. |

| Thnx. I'm actually a conservative on most points if you take away the religious agenda. Well, a 90's conservative whatever that is now. |

because we post about 1/3 as many conservative threads to the mass amount of Liberal ranting threads?
Did you ever notice trancerX's streak of copy and paste threads....where he simplied copied a left wing article and posted it...There were many threads.
Quit acting like a dick and understand this forum has room for two parties. Im sorry this forum is dominated by liberals anymore |
Ok, I'll explain: The difference between your thread creation last night and trancerX's threads, is that his threads each dealt with a separate topic. Topic here meaning a distinguished kind of semantic behind the words in the opening post. Generally your threads were all on the same subject (and you were not the only one - by far. I think some of my threads are equally redundant). It has nothing to do with liberal/conservative affiliations (there you did it - made me use liberal as the pseudonym for socialist it has become in the US:mad:).
Personally I take the "Where intellectuals meet to discuss their views and hope someone else agrees with them. Enter with caution & a dictionary." as a kind of insult - implying some sort of elitist attitude among the PFRs. If I have to suffer that sort of insult, then god damn it, I won't be subjected to behaviour more suitable in a kindergarden.
As regards to occrider becoming a mod - I'm ofcourse a supporter as well. I would even suggest that Shakka (being the more calm of the conservatives in here) was added as an extra mod, for those occasions where occrider is prevented from following things in here, or decides to stay away (as he will for some time now, it appears). |

check that thread out= tons of liberal threads dealing with the same topic----HATE
that doesn't even begin to count the number of times people like me are called red-necks and bible huggers etc. If conservatives don't post with the same frequency then our views will be continually walked over by the global hate towards Bush and his supporters
We will not let that happen. This forum has space for two. |
I started one of the threads mentioned in that link. It was not about hate at all and wasn't about complaining. I legitimately wanted to understand why people are so passionate about Bush other than on the terrorism issue and to maybe see if there is some common groud when people are so divided. Right now there are such opposite views in the U.S. that it's like we are 2 different countries and it's always going to be this way if we don't try to find some common ground and try to become a nation. |

Well lets all calm down then. Im sure the Chillout forum trolls people calling Americans idiots, doomed nation, etc ...will leave this forum soon and we can discuss other topics in the weeks ahead |

| I've already said I support this and Swamper should make it happen. Then occrider can clean up this messy forum... |

I posted on discussing the issues with the Democratic Party: why they lost the easiest to win election ever.
I posted on why Dan Rather was one of the last ones to concede Ohio on his program when ABC/NBC did so.
I posted on the victory of a Bush victory which posting it in this forum seems like a spit in the face
Now I ask you...Have you bothered to see the ANTI-AMERICAN threads today? |

| Well, I don't know what a mod does, but I tend to go with the flow around here. Most useless threads eventually go away. It's some of the incessant flaming(which I have been guilty of at times) which annoys the hell out of me. In any event, do what you will. I tend to think things are fine in here. I pretty much expected the deluge of political threads that were posted yesterday. :) |

I thought I pointed it out to political forum bigot today that the majority of the Anti American sentiment are middle eastern born or living people or Europeans. Most of the crap in here is just lameass verbatim with no reasoning, just blanket statements like Americans suck or Bush sucks but they never say why and then they close the thread on you or they get all angry and start resorting to cheap shots and that's why the great discussions that we could have in here, are most of the time crushed due to the small number of idiots.
Anyway, as much as me and Occ don't agree on Religion and probably never will, I do respect him and I do think it is time that he was given mod powers. |

Which were all on election night :rolleyes:. You were posting threads left right and center at election night. Two of the threads you just mentioned and started today (1 and 3) dealt with topics which were already covered by several other threads.

Yes - did you bother to notice that I stated that you were not the only one who started redundant threads? |
