I get killed in there, and have to swear up and down I'm not a liberal. (Still not by the way)
I do think the name calling is an issue. I get PMs from a few that I have had great discussions / back and forths with after than stuff happens.
I will disagree with some / but I will not name call or attack someone personally. EVER

I am here for the camaraderie and fellowship of some fine folks and a few jerks. I would like to think I have made a lot of friends thanks to you, Michael. I have the highest admiration for your character, patience, humor, intellect and good judgement, and I believe I can say that about all the mods...well there is that one guy, Dervin, up in North Texas, but we don't hear from him much anymore. I assume he got demoted due to his horrible moderating skills. (I miss and love you, Devin!)
Having said that (and sucked up considerably) , I ask why not reopen the PACE and just simply let 'em go at it? Why does it need to be moderated? It's not likely that kiddos would get on there. Have that one unpadded room and just don't worry about what the fools say to each other! It's my experience that nobody changes the other's (antagonists) mind on politics. One either believes one way or the other and rarely do their minds get changed by the opponent's arguing.
So, just let them get their jollies by yelling at each other and calling each other names. Most posters are preaching to the choir, and those who aren't in the choir and want to have their say...well, let 'em. What does it hurt if they are in their own room yelling at each other?

There has been a crop of "political orientated" posts in ATC the last week since the political forum got nixed.
I liked to keep that cr@p over there so it was filtered out and let the crazies play in their HF crazy pen over there.
Some people on this site still think Obama was born in Saudi Arabia and is the CEO of IsIs
LoL

Originally posted by Michael View PostI'm not sure that the PACE forum isn't really much more than a right wing "rally" with a few "antagonistic bad apples" (i.e. liberals) that are brave enough to offer an occasional dissenting opinion ("stirring the pot") until the mob can form to bully them out. No?
There was a lot of truths being told in that forum.. Some can't handle the truth..
Being that the "new world order" is that we all be politically correct and walk on egg shells as not to "offend" someone I'm personally glad it's gone.. I don't have to "watch my step" or choose my words so carefully anymore.. Plus my stress level is WAY down.. After giving it some thought, I'm glad it's gone....
I'll be posting a few cases of tin-foil and a few custom hats in the classifieds shortly.. Dangit. All good things must end..Last edited by PondPopper; 02-14-2018, 08:13 PM.

Originally posted by SaltwaterSlick View PostHaving not been on today or yesterday, I just read through this thread, and my observation/contribution to this specific discussion is that for me personally, the PACE forum is a source of immediate information whether good or bad... If I hear something during the day from someone I meet with in my daily walk/work, or if I hear something on the radio, maybe even TV, though I'm not much of TV these days... If it is related to politics or current events, I would jump on the PACE forum to check it out... For instance, when the famous "Republican Memo" was released, I first heard about it on the radio... I got on the old interweb to find it... I could not get any of the links to work, but within a VERY few minutes, that sucker was posted in the PACE forum for all to see...
I have participated in the discussions, and would continue to do so because I think it's important to our sport and our country that we all try to stay informed...
I look at the PACE forum very similar to the way I always have jumped on the ATC forum when there's a weather event, natural disaster or other major (non-political) event happening... Guarantee you, THE most up to date information on about anything that is important to most will be posted here and fast...
for that reason, I'd like to see it remain available...
