Yet again, even more deflection and still a failure to provide any evidence for that guy's partisan affiliation.
What you have here is a firestorm, as it was intended to be from the start, post # 1.Quote:

These political threads have never finished on the positive side. To even think that men from all over the globe can have a reasonable discussion on their Country's politics; is a pipe dream.
These are moments that I wish for the return of the Gold Dollar Boys.
Hay Arnold! You are interrupting the entertainment here! :shrug:
It is also an opportunity to not end up that way. How one treats people that may disagree with them is a matter of choice.Quote:

One thing that I am quite certain about is that splitting into enemy camps is a problem and refusing to even speak with those perceived to be in another camp is worse.
So, yeah, I can certainly ban any political or religious talk on SRP and create a nice veneer of politeness. But the people underneath it will be the same. Instead I hope that people who have so much more in common in other areas will at some point find it in themselves to start talking about politics and religion in a manner that enhances a discussion instead of stifling it.
I am not a grammarian but you lost me with this question. Is that correct English grammar or just a typing error?Quote:

It HAS been funny, but it is a counterproductive and silly waste of time.
I think I will now close this thread! :rofl2:
I agree, trying to change other people's political view is the problem. I would expect that those who come for this sooner or later will figure it out and stop butting in.Quote:

Your never ending attempts to render fairness in discussions, does not go unnoticed; not by me or others that I discuss this exact point with. If the decision to ban or reprimand lay in my hands, I would have been a lot quicker to the sword in many of the past threads.Quote:

I come to SRP to enjoy the experience of wet shaving. I look forward to seeing old razors restored, old brushes restored hearing about new soaps & creams,,,, passing something forward on occasion, so someone new can enjoy this journey. Though I can't travel the miles to discuss in person, here at SRP I can sit at the table each night & enjoy the company.
When my Demons awake, I tour the dark side of the web. I battle them everyday.
SRP in my safe space & I don't like to see the hatred that these topics bring, brought to the table.
