I voted NO, but really that's not strong enough to express my lack of interest in posters such as Regicide and Igotthisguitar.
Almost without exception, I skip their posts and don't click on their threads.
Given this, it doesn't really bother me. |
Yes Justin ...
And while the "discriminatory" feelings are for the most part mutual, i respect that you at least clearly have the basic intelligence to simply CLICK
wherever it is you FREELY choose to "navigate".
For some strange reason a number of the board's BIGGEST "whiners" & complainers don't seem to have discovered this incredibly sophisticated feature 
Also, it's now good to know you're at least not one of the board's more notorious professional "insider" stalkers

No. The issue has been, pardon the expression, done to death. Only whacked-out nut-job conspiracy theorists who cannot accept evidence or actual forensic science think that it happened any other way than the official version.

Oh, malarkey! My comments were not inflammatory. |

Here we someone who posts inflammatory remarks and sticks his two cents in about the matter.
( "who cannot accept evidence or actual forensic science think that it happened any other way than the official version" )
He not only makes his pitch but shows his hand- - which is that he is closed minded and only believes in official versions, however ridiculous they may be.
McGarrett gives us yet another taste of his whining demeaner.
" yet another Kennedy was killed thread , but this time Bobby"
Good grief. Is the world coming to an end because of this post?
FWIW: I have shown a pattern of political assassinations in the United States.
Finally for those who don't believe the counter evidence in these matters:
Most people do. If you want to participate in the discussion and not just call us names, provide YOUR evidence.
We already have. |

Regicide, thanks for your contributions. You mentioned political assasinations, so it is not just JFK, you are looking at RFK, Reagan etc...
Correct or not? If so, can there be one possible permanent thread titled political assasinations, and you could possible debate openly and fairly with other posters who disagree in order to accomodate you and the others so this doesn't get beaten like a dead horse, and, maybe many would be open to debate you that way. Since you are very passionate about this, give us a solution that you would think would work since they all can be grouped under political assasinations?
Would that work for you? |

I disagree. The JFK assassination has repercussions affecting us to this very day.
Furthermore, as there are so many who cast doubt upon Oswald's guilt, it can still be considered an open case.
You are free to disagree with either of those assertions, as you are to not participate in the discussions, but they belong here. |

This would not work for me. There is so much on the JFK case alone, and then there are loads more on RFK. Each one should have a separate, single thread. Likewise for MLK and any other. Political assassinations in general would be a separate topic. |

| I think Plig made a good point. 45 year old events are not current enough to be in a Current Events Forum. Off to the Off Topic Forum. |

If you don't like the thread change the channel.
I am not a fan of IGTG or Reggie, but I am opposed to oppressing the viewpoint of the minority to quell a minor irraitation to the majority.
Heck we all have to put up with "yarnball" and "mewtiful". |

Thanks for your input on the matter, however, each case is unique and merits its own thread. We are already making a concession by agreeing to only one thread PER TOPIC.
Let's not get carried away here. |

That seems like a decent attitude. I think other posters mentioned that being okay. Use good judgement and try to connect threads. Perhaps,
though, since this your forte, are you interested in several conspiracy theories at a time, one. I understand you are making a concession.
By the way, how are the posts about conspiracy theories current events in the same way Iraq, the elections, Lebanon, Israel versus Syria, Zimbabwe and its elections. Just curious how it all connects. I am not asking for the long version of that. Are you suggesting there is some cabal still in operation and that makes it current. Of course, posters should have a right to post various themes and ideas, but hopefully they will fit the criteria of Current Events somehow and take the feelings of other posters into consideration on the matter as you seem to have done above, and Bacasper mentioned putting things in one thread.
Diversity of speech needs to be encouraged while respecting the space of each poster so to speak...
I suppose that's a good start.... |

How about giving him his own sticky thread - Regicide can update whenever he needs to pass along new or related info.
Much less annoying that way... |

Well, I am sure he doesn't find himself annoying, but it's fair game for us if we find lots of threads about assasinations to be annoying. Hey, if that's how some of us feel. I am still wondering why, though, conspiracy theories regarding assassinations that happened say 45 years ago or so like the Kennedy assassination shouldn't be posted in the Off-Topic Forum. I mean members could argue, rightly, that it is not a C.E. Forum topic since it happened 45 years ago. I suppose Regicide could argue there is new evidence all the time? Generally, the Kennedy assassination is as modern as Elvis is to the music scence. I don't mean that as an insult. I am just wondering how it's a Current Event. Shed light on that, please, and why it shouldn't be in the Off-Topic category.
As far as a sticky, Regicide didn't say he was for that it seems, because he said all the political assasinations have their merits. What is Regicide's exact speciality? JFK or what? Is there a pattern?
I do know regicide means killing of kings, so is it political assassinations or what? Again, Regicide and Bacasper how is the stuff modern?
And what happens if you and Regicide both end up posting Kennedy stuff in different threads? Could that create a potential mess or something? |
