Where did the post go? - 01/15/20 12:40 PM

It seems every time someone puts a post on this site regarding President Trump, it gets deleted. WHATS THE DEAL?

People only want to read comments on which they agree.

Different views (even when offered by an advocate of freedom, fiscal responsibility, small government, state's rights, no welfare, the second amendment and much lower taxes) about Trump are lost on his worshippers.

Admittedly, I missed the thread referenced here. Too bad.

I think the people who have a pro with trump have to go looking for it. He has done nothing to cause me any grief. I had to pay less taxes in last year and I haven been harrassed about Obamacare. I dont get on the internet looking for political stuff or do I go looking for it. The media hates trump they want others to hate trump. If it doesn't cause me any grief I dont care what he does. I still can own guns, i feel better that he want let a horde of illegals from the south in and the most important to me is he us trying g to stop the middle east people from getting here. I dont want my grandchildren to be Muslim slaves

It would be tedious to delete just the offending comments. Easier and faster to make the entire thread go away.

The moderators are volunteers that patrol and maintain this site the way Paul wants it. They have more important things to do than edit threads.

I believe he was talking about X'ing the PEOPLE making the comments, not the individual posts.

The problem with political posts is that they always turn personal. If you cant defend your position intellectually it seems the default is to attack the person. If you are convinced that your position is factual and intellectually honest, then you shouldn't feel threatened by opposing views.

But most people aren't made that way. Thus the rule at the top of the page.

It's not good to live in an echo chamber, only listening to views you already agree with. Of course Paul can run his site however he wants, it's his forum and he's got every right to do as he sees fit. I'm just sayin if you only listen to views you agree with it makes you ill informed and leaves you unable to defend your viewpoint with any sort of argument other than "you disagree with me therefore you're a fool and shouldn't be allowed to speak".

I agree White. The problem is the few repeat offenders that come on every Trump thread and make ridiculous statements not based in fact. These few folks have had the error of their statements pointed out to them over and over again. They ignore intellectual and factual argument and continue to repeat their idiotic claims. I’m convinced they do it just to troll, just to incite members, just for the attention it gets them. How many times can you show a person the error of their ways before you just throw your hands up in exasperation and begin to refer to them as what they are, trolls.

I understand why the “No Politics” rule exists.

I understand Lug. What I PERSONALY try to do.........not always successfully..........is to not pick up the dirty end of the stick. In other words..........ignore. You can still take in opposing views but you don't have to respond. Most minds are not going to be changed.

I'm happy for you that your tax liability was lower last year. Mine went up.

It's impossible to have a civilized discussion here, some blame the trolls but as if their incessant name calling and derogatory comments aren't to blame.

I'm in other forums beside this one as most of us probably are and I can't think of one where we don't discuss politics. I've been involved in one of those forums for the better part of twenty years...you get to know the locals.

One of my dearest friends there holds political views that couldn't be any more further removed from what mine are but we've maintained a cordial relationship for years.

I like to know what peoples views are beyond making sets.

Mom always preached that just like thumper, "if you can't say something nice----don't say nothing at all". So my political views mainly stay to myself.

I guess I lived a sheltered life, before I got on this form i didnt do much on the internet. I thought everyone that hunted and trapped was like me. Everyone that I have ever know thought pretty much the same way. Then I came here and learned that was so far from true, it was shocking. Sometimes I dont even know what to think on some of the views of others. Its scary really how we all may be out door type people but dont see things the same. Maybe the small town that I grew up we are all just so back wards and hillbillies that we are way behind times. It's just not political views it's all kinds of things.

Exactly. It isn't necessarily opposing views, it is how they are given, including responses.

Ignoring , not giving any bandwidth in response to schoolyard articulation, taking the high road , being way out of their league .

Going over that maturity level , continuing progressive conversation with respect and intelligence with others. Even amidst differing views.

If snarky bullying and stalking persists, the rope they're running with finally gets the dally on the saddle horn.

Keeping the Tman Tribe in decent communication is surely one of the main reasons it is about the most active forum around.

Some people like to poke the bear. Then when the bear gets mad and breaks out the claws they cry foul.

This is Paul's site, but he's never told me (even when I was a moderator) that he deleted based on someone's opinion.

What some of you need to recognize is that most of what we post on those threads is only opinion.

I don't and will probably never understand why some people can't read or hear an opinion different from theirs without resorting to personal attacks. That's what kills threads: personal attacks.

If you personally attack others, you are part of the problem.
