Interesting the topic that got this all started was sports related, not the political discussions that dominate here.
I've come to this site almost since it's inception. For the last couple of years this board, which by the way has the second most threads after Ky fishing is the main reason I visit it.
If our discussions are so offensive, why do you suppose other topics has almost twice as many threads as the next most popular board? The threads get heated because many of the issues are important to us. A heck of lot more people should start paying attention and get involved, it'd be a lot better for our country.
Dave, you've already said you didn't moderate other topics anymore, so rather than trying to get it closed why not just ignore it? This board affecting your business is a bit of a stretch. You've posted a few of your opinions here, so you have to admit it can be engaging.
I've asked several times for a more relaxed password protected discussion board. Even said I'd be willing to pay a reasonable fee for it. No, I don't want to make racist comments or attack anyone, just participate in debates without walking on a hard line moderator's eggshells.
Pretty hard for me to see how people could get so offended. Offended? Don't click the darned link.
I have fishing contacts and memberships in local and statewide fishing organizations. For whatever it's worth I've pointed way more than a few people to fishin.com.
Well that's my 2 cents.
It's your web site, operate it the way you want.
