Seriously, how many more soapbox forums do we need to open to keep politics out of the Lounge?

So, "abnormal" politics are fine?

Soapbox politics: global warming, some dirty senator got elected, etc. Lounge politics: holy moly, a government was toppled and a new one is being born! You may have noticed that one of the recent daily emails had the first 3 or so links to info about Egypt. I think many of us are interested in this. I know I am. :)

Guess you were right. The thread has been moved to the Soapbox. Politics is as politics does.

I agree. But the Lounge, Chris has made quite clear, is not for politics. That's why he created this forum and why I set up Soapbox 1.0. And of course, for the intemperate, there's always the Backroom.

Ah, I don't have much experience talking about politics, so I wouldn't really know. Funny that he specifically says endless debate about US politics is not welcome in the Soapbox.

And has told fat_boy that this is where his global warming posts belong. :confused: Nonetheless, I figure he gets to determine the flow and I get to go with it.

Gone? He's not gone... He just said he won't run for re-election... He still plans on sticking around until September, though somehow I doubt he'll live that long.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
