Yeah..... we're talking about how BDC-politics failed.
I'm thinking it's the "moderator".
Or the
lack there of.

Sloppy ho' blew a gasket once his messiah lost the presidency after a single term and realized it was the big loser Trump himself who tried to rig the election. Butlers coming to terms with his poor choices and his right wing hypocrisy. No one else here otherwise. That guy Speed Racers got a lot to say.

And I'm thinking this is a dumb thread To be successful a message board needs active participation from a large community of regular contributors posting every day. Even at its busiest how many active members did this forum have at any one time? A half dozen? That is not enough. No wonder this place "failed". I am surprised it lasted as long as it has actually But to blame SB for the board's failure is beyond stupid |

Kinda late, don't you think? Odd how when I make a post questioning your moderator role here, Ache shows up after almost a whole year of being absent*. I know, right? Weird....

I wonder what the purpose of a moderator is here anyway. How was Butler selected for the position? Do they hold elections? Is it a paid position? Doesnt seem there are a lot of responsibilities. I would think it could be easily automated especiallt with AI. Who knows? The job is basically to moderate Algy and me when we get jiggy with it. No one else here.

Not weird My friend, Robin, posted a DWTS thread in the other section a few weeks ago. I've been officially back ever since I had no intention of returning to the discussion up here again, but I saw this thread and couldn't resist it Q: Short of launching a recruitment drive to draw new members to the forum (which as board moderator is not his responsibility), what could Butler have done to keep this site from failing? Or to put it another way...what did he neglect to do that kept the forum from being a success? |

Didn't think I'd have to mention it, figured I'd save you the embarrassment, thought you could figure it out yourself.... but whatever. It's kind of ironic how this thread I made here as a regular poster managed to INCREASE activity AND viewership by, like, 33.33%? And really? You don't feel the slightest bit hypocritical? |

Politics is a blood sport, not for the faint of heart. Possible doesnt mesh well with people who are smitten with talent shows about dancing, singing or ice skating. Its more reality than tose reality shows.

Not ironic at all When someone starts a new thread, others look in on it. Some might even post messages in it. Naturally forum activity and viewership increase. That's how message boards work But how many new users did your thread attract to the site? None. Still the same old faces: SB, SR, and me And, no, I don't feel hypocritical. I don't even know what you mean by that. Why should I feel like a hypocrite? About what? |

And dont forget about my old nemesis Sloppy Ho or whatever personality he's morphed into. He's currently gone but Im sure he's lurking. He usually waits for an election, then post a lot of misinformation after reading some bias poll and hanging around his like minded moronic friends, laughingly convices himself of a winner with all that misinformation and finally backs the loser. Then runs away with his tail beween his legs.

I think Sloppy gets bored ragdolling leftists here every day and has to take breaks periodically to re-motivate and re-energize That may explain his frequent absences from the board He'll be back though better than ever |

"He'll be back though better than ever"
That assumes he was good in the first place. To bad he doesnt have the wherewithall to tough it out and needs long breaks to recover. Ragdolling? Seems a bit like he's the one being ragdolled. His mommy needs to wipe his tears away and remove his bandaids.
A weak attempt at a liberal bash at best.

Im am a centrist, always said so. I hate the far left, I find them a little too sensitive for me, however I do happily go after partisan hacks. And the republican party has become a punchline, yes, the party of hacks led around by a simple minded fraud, so I go after them. I will admit it's easy pick'ns but they deserve it. If it makes me look like a left winger, I dont care as long as Im not confused with a moronic wing nut. And the fact that you're the first one calling me a "leftist" makes you a partisan suspect.    |

A centrist? Oh, come on. Now I've heard everything A centrist compared to whom? Granny Warren? AOC? Fidel? Point out even one time when you didn't take a hyper-partisan position here on some issue or political figure Most of your posts read like agitprop taken directly from the DNC Handbook If you really are what you claim to be, there would be plenty of examples of your ummm...centrism on the board, right? But there aren't any Alg-y the Archivist will back me up on this too. He has read everything But, okay. You're a centrist lol Just like me:) |

I am a centrist. Many times have I pointed to a rebublican and thought they were a good mayor of Governor. Nothing positive to say about any president however. You righties want failed actors, plumbers, sports heroes etc for president. And they dont know what the f* they are doing with poor education and no political bonifides to back them up. Thats the problem with your dopey party. I have been asking for a solid republican candidate for years, and what have you voted in? Some guy who says your guns will be taken away, foriegners will take your jobs, and we should spend less except for the military industrial complex. they run on scare tactics for you delicate flowers. Nothing for infrastructure, education, technology and safety. You wonder why you're a punchline. And now you're doubling down and backing a fraud like Trump. So ya, I dont play that. You can call me a lefty, dont matter to me. Just dont associate me with that guy.

By the way Mitt Romney is retiring due to ill health: the people of Utah are sick of him

What? I never claimed to be a centrist. You did. That is your thing, not mine
I am perfectly happy being partisan
Q: Who did you vote for in 2008? Who did you vote for in 2012?
Yeah, that is what I figured

So Ache admits hes not a centrist and is happy being a partisan hack. Got it. An Butler likes RFK. The old curmudgeon is dating himself.

One can be partisan for one side or another and not be a hack. I like a lot of things about RFK Jr, primarily the fact that he tells you honestly what he's thinking, but from a purely political point of view I'd probably prefer to vote for someone else. |

Well, he called me a partisan hack and Im not partisan. I know I look partisan but thats because the other party is a late night punchline. Heck, they cant even come up witha Speaker of the House and they're the majority. Just a do nothing bunch of whiners.
Therefore I can only assume if Im considered a partisan hack, he, while actually claiming to be a partsan must be the gold standard of partisan hackery. See how that works?

well, Ive proven Im not but thats okay. I get how the republicans work. Its not that you are republican, it's how much of a republican you are. Republicans to the left are commie pinko RINOS, republicans to the right are so republican, their view of the world is myopic at best. I get it. Its why your party fights with each other and hamstrings the house with no speaker. Nothing ever gets done with you guys. You see a blue sky but will tell you it's pink. Dont pee on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
