Fairness for entire board

Upstate NY also has political discussion though not as active as here. My answer is not going to change. Just because you want something done does not mean anything to me.

Bam is it fair other forums cannot have political threads but pitt can? Originally Posted by winn dixie

Second, if you haven't noticed, there are not a lot of really active areas of the country on here outside Texas. Pittsburgh happens to be one of the active areas. There are a few others. Good businesses (and yes ECCIE is a business) don't typically chase off their customers

Third, other areas do discuss politics - just look at Upstate New York for example

WD should be the Chicago Ray of Eccie. We”ll call him Texas Dixie. He can get his boys together and boycott ECCIE. Mebbe the powers that be will succumb and make ECCIE fair again!!!!

I do not presume that just because some of us don't like the layout anything should be changed at all. More dialogue the better I say. Originally Posted by DNinja69

At least around here.

Missed the whole point. So pitt can have more privileges than most other forums? Fairness across the board sir. Not just pitt.

A lot of assumptions and not much listening

I didn’t know Pgh was the only city that allows political discussions in the sandbox.
Wonder why that is.
I only care because I’m a sports nut. I like discussing sports and in Pittsburgh sports is a big thing. Problem here is it’s almost a waste to start a different sports topic because it will be shortly buried under the avalanche of posts by the heavy political posters. We just had a great Super Bowl. No discussion. Pitt hoops is doing well. No discussion.
Why not have a Pittsburgh political forum?

Secondly, I don't reckon it's a privilege JUST for the
Pittsburgh forum - might just be that some o' the other
areas DON'T fancy the political discussions.

... Me-own opinion is that it becomes a use/non-use issue.
If people don't fancy the discussion - they they won't comment.
OR they can just ignore some o' the threads if they wish.

Participation is VOLUNTARY... and as it surely should be.

I guess it doesn’t interest “sports nuts”. Everyone who has complained about political threads in this thread are frequent posters in political threads!!!!! Oh the humanity!!!!! Hypocrites much? People will bitch about air. There are far more lurkers on hooker boards than frequent posters. If it was a problem they would complain to the mods. Obviously they haven’t. They’re mature and smart enough to read what they want to read.

Swing and a miss... again

Oh really? Are we talking about “fairness”? Lemme tell you something, life’s not fair. Deal with it.

This is a hooker board. It's a place to escape from real life.

Focus on what his whole point instead of the one part of it that stuck in your collective craws

That’s exactly what I do. I don’t care two fucks how ECCIE runs THEIR website. But you and others do. Take your complaints straight to B1. If it’s sooo important to you. I’m sure WD will let you compose the PM. Or Mr Ninja. Yinz are so eloquent. Make your case big fella. See where it goes.

Sure it is. This isn't my thread. Stop trying to make it about me. WD and Ninja aren't even on the same side of the discussion.

Catch you later
