    A subforum of a subform?

    Nah, this is fine. The majority of political threads will be over in November.

    I get extremely upset at times over political subjects on here. I would like to have an off topic thread where I can not worry about disagreeing and arguing.

    Naw, politics is subforum and after november it will die down. In the mean time we could clean up the board by merging all of Papag's threads into one titled "I hate Obummer" and that would clean things up here considerably.

    BBB.net all over again.

    How about merging your responses into a "PapaG has no idea who I am, but I'm going to comment on him, anyhow, because I wanna be a balla, too."

    if you are the type of person who gets upset with political threads, I would like to suggest ignoring them like I tend to do.

    Actually, PapaG, Sly was primarily on O-Live. He wasn't on BBB.net, although he knows who Hap is.

    I wasn't on BBB.net. ABM invited me to join here from Oregonlive. You seem to mention BBB.net and mods fairly often. What did they do that you are concerned that I will do?

    The political threads are the same group of people saying the same things over and over again. I don't really understand why they seem to enjoy it, but it's easy enough to just not click on them.

    I'm sure he's heard the story a hundred times. It's probably on here in more than a few longs threads.
