This is your forum you should have input as to how it operates. Any suggestions that are positive are welcome here.
I notice mantra comment it would be good if the politics forum was a little less abusive and a little more constructive and I think it's a good idea.
Comments and others input on this and other matters is welcome.

Totally agree...

Well I was right about Aussie,at least everyone can see his attitude in not wanting to make things work. No body, least of all me , is calling for an OZ pol forum. I was just agreeing with mantra suggestion that we could make a greater effort in the politics board to discuss the subject rather than the hunch back of the person you were arguing with. Poltics is about arguing your own point and if it gets a bit argy bargy so be it. We were just discussing the possibility we could make a better effort in the politics board. IQ is man enough to admit he could make a better effort, is he a bigger man than you,Aussie?

How were you 'right' about 'Aussie?' My post contained positive suggestions and some advice on what I believe is needed. That is my opinion, and you are always going to get it. You have a natural right to at least that much from me and all the other Members.

Of course NOIQ is a 'bigger man' than me. Isn't that obvious? His record of being banned everywhere clearly establishes so and is exemplary. The proof will be in the pudding.

"That is my opinion, and you are always going to get it. "

Yeah skippy do as your told. Aussies right to be here and undermine this forum is his right you have been told.

How about we make the Politics Board about Politics then? Get rid of all the other chaff.

Come on. This place is not a bee's nest or the traditional bear in the 'poking' story. It is presently, generally, a field of wet lettuces who would not know a political debate if they were living with it. This is PA......abuse as part of a post, and not the essence of the post, is part of the territory. What is not part of the territory is the pure vulgarity, the obscenity, the forgery, the violence to female genitalia and the absurd assumption of ownership of the place. That has to be slapped down by Admin and the Members generally.

IQ has already said he will tone it down for the Good of The Forum. Give him a chance to follow through.

If you cannot handle the subtle and cleverly framed abuse which is traditional to the place, then that's tough. Reacting to it by 'upping the anti' into the kindergarten 'gross' simply demonstrates pure dumb and stupid, a complete lack of smarts, and drives people off.

I think that "subtle and cleverly framed abuse" is in the eye of the beholder. You (and Monk) are neither subtle nor clever and both of you have absolutely no sense of humour. I have a good giggle with some of the other posters comments, unfortunately, you two are not "they/them". Smarten up your act and, if you ever make me laugh-out-loud, I will let you know!

There are a couple here who would never support me while they are vertical, but their conduct, I regard as totally acceptable. (Mind you, they are also as dumb as dog shit on politics, and how it works.) What is not acceptable is that they stand by mute while others of their 'side' reduce PA to a sewer.

This is you being "subtle and clever" is it Aussie?

Question Time is an ideal example of how NOT to act as adults.

Apart from all that, I think we should ALL try to get on. Plus I think Skippy might be able to achieve this, if he is given the chance. It's called co-operation. He has some different ideas on how PA should/could be run. Good on Skippy!

I agree get rid of this Aussie tool and almost 99% of your problem disappears right there.

Well since 99.99% of my posts are on politics and the rest are either return flames or nonsense written by Monk, why would I ever disagree. YOU would need to get your act together or just stay away since it is clear politics is out of your depth. Except for petty forum politics of course where you excel.

He has some different ideas on how PA should/could be run.

I have not seen them. Where are they? Seeing these ideas he has would be fantastic! So far, mantra made an offering. I've seen nothing from skippy apart from his Application, and you would not have read that.

A moron posted:

It is not in monks interests for this place to thrive so I don't expect the likes of him to play ball.

PM me if you like to know why that shows you up to be a total moron.

There goes George only mantra left.
