Should international as well as U.S. politics be banned on METAR?

Well, a little different. But it used to be Mish’s board, heck it was literally called “Mishedlo”!!! And when he left, Wendy took over. And we changed the name.

But all that is irrelevant. Political discussion destroys boards. Always and everywhere without exception. At least since the 80s when boards first began to exist. And we decided long ago, and then again more recently, to avoid political discussion here. If you really want political discussion, simply discuss it on a political discussion board!

Unfortunately you are right. People in the safety of the Internet become overly aggressive, become incontinent, no self restraint. Sad.

I see that has happening with stupidity after 1981. Ejits who wont shut up pushing false information on everyone. Idiotic stuff.

Speaking of intl politics, I heard this on the radio this morning and thought of you. I thought you might find it interesting if you had yet to hear of it.

I could see something like that happening here. It would not surprise me to read that someone is already working on the idea.
