Is it just me, or is anybody else getting a bit fed up that there now appears to be way more political 'discussion' threads than anything else on namepros.

It seems like every day, I turn to Namepros only to find myself subjected to the usual inane rantings of a political extreme few.

I know we shouldn't really advertise other forums here so I apologise in advance to -RJ- and the rest of the crew but I took the liberty of searching for a couple of forums where people can rant away to their hearts are content.

http://www.itsallpolitics.com/
http://www.politicalcrossfire.com/

I am not affiliated to these sites in any way and neither appear (at first glance) to be affiliated to any political party but I think these would be more fun and appropriate places to discuss your views.

I know that some people will throw back at me that I have contributed to these threads in the past but to be hinest, what once was fun has now IMO introduced a malevolant streak to a lot of NP threads and I for one am bored of it.

Lets get Namepros back to what it should be all about - Domain names and the Web

I agree, although the way they quickly decend into flaming is often humorous to mear visitors to the thread!

Although, to be fair, this is the break room for people to discuss what they want, and with recent events (US election, Arafat dying, Iraq war etc etc) it isnt surprising that it is on people's minds.

As long as they dont sneak their way into 'Domains for sale' :o

:) :p

I agree about the break room rob - its JMO that a break room should be somewhere you go to relax!

Its the flaming that really bothers me. If people were able to keep it civil, then it would be fine - but I guess thats just a bit too much to ask for!

I'm also getting sick of the political talk here, especially those who are extremist and won't let the issue drop. The election is past so let's move on and forget about it as that's water under the bridge and all of the discussions in the world won't change the outcome of it.

The cheap shots at the other party is also getting old. If you're going to talk about politics then atleast do it in a mature manner. The Bush and Kerry bashing is starting to get ridiculous considering the election was over a week ago and it won't change the results. Everyone has their own opinions when it comes to politics and it's best to keep it to a political forum.

Of course the Break Room is to talk about non domain topics, however there's a point when it becomes too much such as the political discussions and it starts overtaking the main purpose of the forum. It gets everyone worked up into a frenzy over their own personal beliefs and before you know it there's an argument instead of everyone being friends here. :blink:

Im fed up as well but I am republican and conservative not a liberal. The thing is the LIBERALS tend to make the threads that start the political confrontations. Why dont the liberals just leave the election alone? Please

I dunno, looks to me like Lee is the one starting most of these threads. I suppose you could count that up and ascertain that.

I'm done posting political commentary, so you can count one less person to cope with.
