Was it the NO POLITICS and Stormy Daniels video? If it was...it was not me that posted it!...lol... No big deal to me , just wanted a politics free sports zone. As Tex correctly pointed out many of the threads deteriorate into political diatribes , even this one đ

Pretty simple thing to do, just ask Spanky if he's ok with it. He says yes, done deal I think. As far as politics go, currently a virus, hard to go anywhere where it hasn't reached.

Hey folks, if you don't like a certain topic, be it music, politics, or whatever, I want you to try something that works great for me - simply not clicking on that topic. Try it folks! It really works. I will now return you to our regularly scheduled program - "Greatist Rap artists of the 80's". (I won't be clicking this one as I hate Rap. See how easy that was?)

Please note the changes made to the forum today. The volume of complaints I have received regarding political discussion on the forum is distressing.
We shall solve this problem as a community by avoiding POLITICAL ARGUMENTS altogether.
Thank you!

The problem is they evolved from discussions to outright name calling and animosity....

i feel we should just argue about whether the toilet paper roll should go over or under.

What the heck is REALLY going on around here?
It smells terrible to me.
Sorry, Iâm having a hard time with it.
I have been around a long time, from just after âLemonâ won the Belmont, and this is the most controlled I have ever witnessed this place to be.
Itâs not just the political issues thatâs the problem and it will never improve if things continue to run the way they are now.
Sorry if anyone feels offended by this writing, because Iâd like to think we are all friends, but we all should take a good look in the mirror and see what is really looking back at us.
Spider, I wonder why you edited your post? (Iâm really not looking for the answer. You know why you did, and thatâs whatâs important.)

Seems to me the fix is simple. Just don't post anything political. I realize and apologize I've posted political comments I should not have. By keeping the Basement to topics of sports and entertainment it should give us plenty to discuss! Someone like Bev would have more interest in the horse breeding section for good reason. But how many members really follow breeding lines of horses? I would venture to say most are into sports and entertainment but I have no issues with ANYONE at UIC.... My point is...with football coming up and baseball winding down to the playoffs there should be plenty to discuss! I hope members who have left will consider coming back. I have no control over the posts here and that's fine because the Stewart's have done a great job imo. I think when you consider how many years the Basement has been around the number of conflicts on an open forum has been pretty darn minimal.

Quickâmy point edited was fairly obvious. Some things that way donât need to be said. I agree with youâif you have no interest in a discussion then leave it alone. Very simple. This area of the site is somewhat strange any more. Bev has it right unfortunately. There is nothing going on here that I honestly need to follow.
Hooper appreciated my edit, and I respect him. Hopefully end of story.

To be clear I have never asked a member to edit a post nor have I ever edited a member's post. I have deleted Russian spam in the last few months. Hooper

The volume of complaints? How many? 2? 3? The number of members that actually let their emotions appear to be out of control was 1 and maybe a half of another one. To me the major problem I observed was the sudden shameful and unnecessary use of expletives. I might be out of line posting this since I'm just one of the minions and "this isn't my circus and those aren't my clowns".
