It is time to stop the relentless and pointless political threads here. Members constantly attacking each other does not add anything to this forum and in the long run will damage it. Have you noticed that there seems to be fewer people participating and there appear to be fewer topics?
We do not need this BS here!
Some may feel that these political threads are no big deal but I would argue to the contrary. If we attack one another here, it likely carries on in other aspects of our lifes. I call on the Mother Ship to make this forum a better place which may possibly make the country just a little bit better. Wishful thinking? Of course it is but I feel compelled to make the forum better and welcoming again.

A whole page of threads on my screen and 1 political thread. Hardly relentless and you can ignore it if you don't like it.

Amen. Unfortunately there have been numerous requests like this and they just fall on deaf ears.

Is anyone else reading this in ALL CAPS and in Kimberly Guilfoyle's voice?
Seriously, tho....there's only 1 current thread that has any pointless political posts in it and it's easily avoided.
Actually, it's better when the stuff you don't want to read is easy to avoid, no?
I mean, I have no interest in ABT's so I just avoid those threads. They give me the runs.
Also, I think @Trim and @Lit are complete A-Holes, bt if I met them in person, I'd buy them a beer and swap BBQ tales.
Also again, many of the folks who are on oppsite sides of the political fence in this forum get along just fine on the Friday night Zoom sessions.

Just an observation. You do have some ability to influence what is actually discussed on this site in ways that are different from whining about somebody else. Radical concept, I know."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -

You know, I don't really care what cigar anyone is smoking so I don't click onto that thread. Seems to solve that issue for me pretty well. Perhaps that option exists for you on things labeled OT or that you learn after opening might not be a topic that suits you particular interests. As long as folks aren't derailing cooking threads or planting political comments where they don't belong and getting stuff buffaloed, I don't really see this as something to start an entire new non-cooking thread about.Stillwater, MN

I have refrained from making political comments for almost 4 years now. It has been difficult at times but I have done it. The last “political” reference I made was right before Christmas of 2016 when I posted the masterpiece “‘Twas The Night Before Trump” poem.With that said, if the election goes the way I am hoping, I will once again unleash a few masterpieces upon the forum for all to enjoy. I have been working on them for almost four years now.They include:
Glory Glory Trumpelujah
How Great Trump Art
Imagine What Trump Could Do To You
And just for old times sake, I will even throw in ‘Twas The Night Before Trump” for all the newbies. A timeless classic for sure.I am also currently working on Here Comes Trump Claus and Silent Night Trump Night. Hope to have them ready for an early Christmas release 🤞Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
I look at this as a formatting issue of the website. There should be a different layout. Every other forum I’ve joined has sub topics where you can post. You could have a sub topic for charcoal, smoke woods, accessories, , cook posts, OT stuff. Instead On here everything just gets thrown into one place. I don’t love the political crap either but I’ve grown to shrug it off. Some of it is hilarious. Instead of stifling free speech we should all be asking for BGE to reformat the website. But ultimately it’s theirs to what they wish. I think reformatting the layout is a great alternative to the whole site getting shut down which no one wants

I will make jokes about politics on forums but I really don’t care. Just don’t click on them, if you get bent on them then you are paying too much attention.It’s a forum, my name is friggin Cornholio on it for cripes sake. I have close friends who have far different political views than I do so we just stick to talking about things we have in common.

For someone that said they were quitting the forum and actually asked the Buffalo to delete their account that Lit person sure posts a lot.

Do you see politics entering into cook threads? And it's pretty well policed in the WAYDRN thread.
So... how is it "everywhere" ?
An occasional throwaway thread goes sideways and gets there, like the "Uhmm" thread. But that's about it.
Really if people can't figure out where this kind of thing tends to be, they're really just not working that hard. Or they just can't help themselves.

BTW it is not EVERYWHERE, It's just some people can't see anything else.
