I'm sure I'm going to get a ton of $hit for this, maybe even get assclowned, but at this point I really don't care anymore.
I thought the Planet was a cool place. There are a lot of things I like about this place that IMO make it stand out from other forums. But there's another thing about it that really sucks.
People have different opinions. That's fine. That's what message boards are all about. But yesterday I posted a thread about buying a goddamn TV and somehow it got turned into an excuse for a bull$hit unprovoked personal attack that everyone on here knows the mods aren't going to do jack $hit about.
So right now you're thinking, "Jeez TB, this is really petty." Well let me explain. Two and a half years ago I started a thread about how me and a friend spent a day in Madison. There was nothing, I repeat, NOTHING about that thread that was political, but the same pr1ck (RoadGrader, in case you haven't figured it out yet) hijacked the thread, saying Madison is full of "left-wing commies" and all this other bull$hit. I asked RG when he had ever even BEEN to Madison and left it at that. But two and a half years later he's still bringing it up. THAT, friends, is petty.
I have been to other boards centered on all sorts of different topics and themes and the Planet is the only one where people keep dragging politics into things on the main forum. There are plenty of members here whom I disagree with politically but get along with fine in the main forum, so I've tried to keep my political opinions separate.
Apparently though if you're not a complete right-winger you're not part of the in-crowd clique at this place and that makes you fair game. People can say whatever they want as long as it's right-wing. I have seen more Hillary Clinton-bashing in the main forum then I can remember, but that's not a political comment, I guess. Mikiemo can call Hillary Clinton an "evil bitch" and it's not a political comment. RG can rip on the Steelers because their stadium is named after "John Kerry's wife" but that's not a political comment. But when I called out Sir Otilc for his thread about "Where were you on this day when Chapaquiddick happened?", that gets bounced into the Playground. Give me a fvcking break. You cannot tell me that wasn't a political thread, but it was fine until I called a spade a spade, then it was offensive and had to be removed.
I damn near gave up on this place then, but I kept telling myself that the good outweighed the bad here. Well I just can't keep deluding myself anymore. When it's all said and done the Planet is just another place where people who agonize over the size of their d1cks hang out and say, "Come look at this one before I flush it!"
So I guess I just don't fit in here.
Oh, and RG and JD, GFY. When your failed and useless lives come to an end, the world will be a better place.
