I'm not defending Heisy here, and I agree with you.  I would like nothing more on 'Scoop than to see the politics stop.

But, unless there's something posted elsewhere that I don't know about, the "rule" stated on the pinned thread is:  "Anything political posted here will be swiftly removed, and if you violate the rule too frequently, you'll find yourself without a place to post."

Respectfully, if you have a rule that is only kind of enforced, you honestly shouldn't be terribly surprised that people violate it  (and that is not a reference to selective or biased enforcement).  The rule, as posted, is a strict prohibition.  The rule, as applied, is politics is allowed until it goes to far.  What could go wrong?

1. We do our best.

2. The problem is when threads don't start political.  There's a Facebook thread that starts normal, than goes awry.  Is the Foreign Disinformation thread political?  It can be, let's see .. oh, crap, there we go.   School shootings?  Close that down right away?  UW free tuition?

I haven't had enough Arby's in my lifetime yet, so I'm still hopeful we can talk about these things like gentlemen.

I know you do, Rocky, and I appreciate it.  That said, there are a lot of threads that start overtly political, and many more that are thinly veiled political from the outset.  I absolutely appreciate and respect your eternal desire to trust people to discuss things like adults.  I question the wisdom...but I appreciate and respect it.

Yep, new guidelines:  If MU82 or Tugg open a non-basketball thread, it will be locked instantly. 

Even if it's about Arby's, which cannot be discussed enough.
I heard Arby's voted third party this last election cycle...

Well, that's not fair. My posts about religion, for example, have led to some excellent conversations. But whatevs. Certainly not gonna lose sleep over stuff in ScoopLand.

And unlike some, I won't beg for others to get shut down or banned. Unlike Smuggles, I don't need people to recognize me as a genius; I just like to chat about interesting stuff with people I respect.

You like to make snarly unnecessary political remarks.  See your childish remark in the Russian Doping thread that got it shut down.  Totally unnecessary and something you constantly do.  Just stop.

I'm done with political talk here as long as the mods are serious about shutting it down.  But if they do not, I will not let your wacko views go unchallenged.

Personal attacks like this are also against the rules. I assume "mentally unstable" and other similar phrases would fall under that umbrella as well.

Should we let your wacko views go unchallenged?

No, and your wacko views should not go unchallenged either,  That is why I'm done with them as long as the political talk is truly banned.

I understand why it should be banned ... in the end it is all selected true facts to support an opinion.  Everyone does it that way.  And, in the end, it is not productive and is merely yelling at each other.  No one is ever going to change their mind if it is a yelling contest.

So, I agree to end it, as long as everyone else can move on.
