Get rid of it

Wanna bet which one of us could stop posting on this site the soonest and remain off the longest?  I'll take that challenge.  You game?

Thank you. I was hoping we would get there. I am game for a moratorium on you and I posting in the political forum. How long? Six months? A year? Forever?

I think to make it work we need a simple rule: there can't be any political commentary in the other sub forums and no sock puppets. Other than that, I'm cool. Do you think we can get everyone else to join us?

Before we begin, have you seen this Twilight Zone episode? If not, you should watch.

No, no, no, not just the political forum, the whole site.  You said I spend too much time here.  I say you do too.  It's all or nothing lefty.  You going to step up now?

I am in if you need another participant.

I'm wondering if Rattler will make a re-appearance during the lock-out.

Cracks me up him saying he doesn't spend much time on here,while holding the all time record in political posts.

[Trial153]

Nobody waste their time. Grouse would just reincarnate himself with a new handle. After all he is already on his third or forth

[left field]

Your changing the goalposts again. I didn't say you spend too much time on the other subs. If anything, you don't spend enough. But when I look at this sub and I see the first six posts are from you and usually in threads you started then yeah, you may spend too much time here. You know that the rest of the forum isn't the issue so I don't see a need to walk away from a place that I enjoy hanging out in. And I would miss Bill's latest U-tube videos.

The point of this isn't to take our respective balls and go home; it's to join the rest of the team. That seems like a pretty good deal and I think we'll both be better for it.

 

[Grouse]

You said the sub takes up entirely too much of my time.  I intend to prove it doesn't.  If I were to agree to your terms, you have not done anything in the way of sacrifice.

The challenge is this:  You want me to give up what I enjoy.  I will if you do the same.

You can come back to the site anytime you like.  I'm just proving a point.  Let's see who can last longer.  That's what I think will determine who's more needy.

I'm game to go right now.  Are you?

[Grouse]

Just think how happy your "team" will be with you when I'm no longer posting.  You will be their hero!  On the other hand, people who are not on your "team" may be very happy you aren't posting.

I'm all about equality, especially in effort and sacrifice, to obtain the greater good.  Are you?  Step up and put some skin in the game.

[Grouse]

BTW, you won't miss anything.  you can peruse the site, just can't post.  You can even message your "team" to communicate, just not post.  Is that too much to ask to improve the site?

[left field]

Once again, you're missing the point. And it's interesting that you can't even approach this on equal terms and want a handicap.

To be fair, yes, I probably spend too much time on this sub as well. Certainly in the vac thread because, you know, death and all that. So the deal is, we both stop posting in the political forum. It's pretty simple. You can continue to post other threads and I will continue to post about my inability to shoot a deer on my property. This seems very fair. 

And if I have a team, then I want to have a talk with them about how shitty our t-shirts are.

[Grouse]

I can understand your reluctance to accept the challenge I present, but it stands as I presented it.  It's just for fun to see who can do it.  Quit anytime you like.  Test your commitment to your goal.  The sacrifice has to be equal for the game to be fair.  It's all or nothing.  That's the challenge.

Once again, I'm good to go right now to show my commitment to my goal.  C'mon man!

Where do you get off calling me a racist ?

If I’ve learned anything from leftest like you over the last 5 or so years it’s that if you disagree with someone that automatically makes them a racist but I’m sure you already knew that.

You know what lefty, I'm so committed to the greater good here, I'll revise my challenge.

I'll stop posting in the political forum, if everyone in this thread who asked for the political forum to be deleted, stops posting in it.  How's that?  Think you can get all of the other members to agree to that? 

Anybody who asked to eliminate the political forum can not post in it again, or I can start posting in it again.  That fair enough?

Sleep on it an let me know.  I have things to do today.

I don't know that I've explicitly called for it in this thread, but I have shown my support for it in the past. I'm totally game, and will probably be better for it. 

Just to clarify though, you don't get to login as Rattler or anything and start posting, correct?

[left field]

Just so I understand your challenge: you stop posting in this sub and I stop posting on the entire forum? Now changed to everyone else who wants this shut down stops posting here?

I offer you a fair man-to-man race, but you want a head start? Honestly, dude, that's a little weak. 

Think this through. You and I are stubborn enough to stay off this sub so it will be a wash as to who wins or loses. And frankly, who gives a shit? However, I contend that the entire forum will benefit which is the point of shutting this down. So the individual sacrifices for the benefit of the whole.

Hell, they'll write stories about us.

You are real beauty pal, you should talk, you have had several reincarnations on this board yourself quitting after hissy fits and if I remember correctly taking a cheap shot at me. pretty easy to read between the lines with you.

You're not wrong there, and I have owned up to it and recognized and owned my personal flaws publicly on this forum. Each time it was because I allowed myself to get wrapped up in the toxicity of this sub forum, but it's no one's fault but my own. 
I believe I sent you a personal apology about that as well, and I still mean that apology. I understand if you still hold resentment regarding it, but it is sincere.

the challenge isn't equal because you hardly post anything outside of the political forum.  

You say because you don't want to brag about hunting,but have no problem bragging about your superior debate skills and mental capacity.

Wouldn't one have to actually go hunting to talk ( brag ) about it? Grouse has pictures of a vacation, at work, but can't seem to have a picture of him hunting. Just like a few of the other political loud mouths that used to troll the boards.

See you won’t answer about weather or not you think Trump won

I'm not afraid to answer this. I believe Trump actually won. I believe it will never be proven. I believe that Trump was standing up for Democracy pointing out what a joke our election system is.  80% of Americans want voter Id laws but Democrats fight it at every turn. Why are you fighting that unless you want to cheat? Can you answer that? Please don't answer with it won't allow people to vote. You need an ID to buy Beer, Smokes, get in a movie, check into a hotel, rent a car, get on an airplane and a bunch of other reasons i can't think of off the top of my head. But we don't need an ID for the most sacred thing in our democracy?

And that was his only hunting  related contribution. One sentence.

In the political section...
