What do you think of the idea for creating an Obama/Liberal/Leftist sub-forum under the Off-Topic forum?

According to Kevin, President Obama is also a Progressive.

viewtopic.php?p=655946#p655946

Which, by the way, makes Obama a strong progressive since he is the first American President in history to come right out and say he supports gay marriage.

How about a subforum for people striving for sanity? The clutter created by the wingnuts bcspace and droopy on this forum tend to chase people away, in my opinion. I mean, how much time can one waste either reading or responding to their bilge before feeling the creeping fingers of madness?
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

I think it might also need to include the words Racist, Socialist, Communist, Nazi and Kenyan to appease our conservative friends.

It's a good suggestion, but, the problem is Droopy, BCSPace, and LDSFaqs see Obama/Liberal/Leftism as the key that unlocks every discussion on every topic.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

Do you think that is a bad thing? I don't agree politically, intellectually or morally with those that you have mentioned (I could mention a few more).

What I find special about this board is that people with opposing views can spar, argue and hash it out without banning or deletions. People's viewpoints are seldom (if ever) changed here, but opposing viewpoints create very interesting conversations.

This place would be very boring if everyone agreed with every one else. It's no fun playing tennis if no one is on the other side of the net.

Hi, bc!

You forgot to mention Nazi and Kenyan.

As I was saying in the above post, it's good to have you around.

Well yes, Nazi is a Socialist party. I don't see what you have against Kenyans though. One of my best missionary companions was a Kenyan. We served in LA and he despised American black culture.

How on earth could a person from a country that produces coffee and tea become a Mormon? That is unKenyan.

In Helaman 6:39, we see the Badmintons, so similar to Skousenite Mormons, taking over the government and abusing the rights of many.
