People that spend so much of their time on the Subsim.com forums posting political "headlines" and making it their mission to convert people or "influence" the election, really need to put a clock above their monitor... or something.

PD has the right point. SubSim.com is not a political forum. Too many people treat it like one.Flamingboat, all that anyone said is that it is considered poor 'netiquite' to call out a specific member in a very inflamatory thread. 'Debate the issue, not the person' has been the rule here for many, many years. I've been sporatically visting GT all day, and you have been here each time, growing more agitated with each visit. It was going to land you in some very hot water, and all anyone did was try to tell you to take a few hours away. None of the threads are locked. No one is in the brig. No one was banned. No one shouted down your viewpoint. Just come back later. I promise that you'll feel better after a break. Everyone always does.As far as SubSim and it's moderating team, I think it is silly to insist that there is a right-leaning tendency in the editorial policy. Anyone who has read this forum for a few years should know that the only two people that were ever banned in the discourse of political discussion were both right-leaning conservatives.People are too high-strung over this. Election day cannot come fast enough.
