This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: BrantaiBut if I'd said "Bush" you'd have written me off as a sufferer of BDS, no?  It's what I assumed, anyway.

Both of the people here who disagreed with your original characterization of Krauthammer have agreed that he does side with the Bush Administration.  We just disagree over why he does.

Quote from: BrantaiEdit: To expand on this, within my era of political awareness, the neoconservative faction has been the party leadership for the GOP.

What does "neoconservative" mean to you?  Do you know where that name comes from?

Quote from: BrantaiPrior to that I really had no political awareness to speak of, being young and stupid.

Then it's best to scope your statements to cover what you know.

Quote from: BrantaiI like that!  EDS could be mistaken for something having to do with erectile dysfunction, however, which could be good or bad (I suppose) depending on how you look at it.

It's also the name of the company Ross Perot founded.

I want to take bets on Brantai's response being: "Who is Ross Perot?"

OK..sorry...cheap shot.  But if he was 10 in 1996, that would have made him 6 in 1992.  See how quickly I did the maths?

Quote from: WerekoalaThat's fair enough. Most people are the same, in my experience. But there are those with whom "agreement with those they despise = shill/puppet/dupe" - in every case, and they infest TBP. And for the record, its not always political in nature, it can be about anything.

It's not just confined to RPGnet.

Just look at the petty accusations and recriminations that get spat out regarding "Swine," "Story Games" and "Indie" over here.

It's the same syndrome, and no less hilarious for being about something as ephemeral and ultimately disposable as RPG's.

I know who Ross Perot is, but that's about the extent of my knowledge of him.

To be fair, I never said they were confined to RPG.net, I merely said they infested it.

Yup, I wasn't really singling you out other than as a quote source.

It's just that my irony meter blew a gasket when I heard that particular criticism of RPGnet. :)

Poor guy. Can't help but wonder if he was expressing some view that went against the group-think grain. 17,000+ posts and he cant find open support for his point of view on TBP? Wonder why.

 What the hell was he going on about anyway ?  It was pretty vague and pleading.

If you've got something substantive to add, then you should do so. All you seem to have, though, is unfunny snark. I don't know if you'll get banned, but if you do it'll be because you shit in every thread you post in, not because you are some brave warrior fighting the group think.

And you're vipergirrl obsession creeps me the fuck out.

Did you mean the above comment for the other thread on here about TBP?

 Seems more relevant there.

Yeah. It pretty much applies to everything you say, so no harm done.
