Does politics/religion ruin this board for you

Honestly what would be nice is if there was an ignore thread feature, kind of like ignore member - where it just completely hides the thread from your view
It just points me to who the idiots are!!****
The hide the thread button is inside your brain. You don't have to read all of them. And even if you do you don't have to comment.
Real Men and Bulldogs don't need "Safe Spaces". I abstained since Godfather was Blasphemed. ETA I decided to just vote NO.

I don't care, but there should be a rule with a limit of how many pages a nonsports thread can continue. No one will get the last word until they lock the thread. One of the usual suspects from both sides will do their damn best to ensure they're the one who gets the last word in.
I just wish there were more sports threads, but I get it’s a slow time of year. Wish there was more football talk
Only liberals complain about people talking about politics. I’ve noticed that in my time on this earth. Or at minimum, they are much faster, generally, to default to the ‘why are we talking politics’ defense
Some thin skinned folks (or can you even say that anymore) on this board. Here's a simple solution, just don't read it if you don't like it.
Blaming the topic for ruining the board is like blaming the gun when some idiot is pulling the trigger.
You just made this political
There it is. You managed to find the worst take. Congrats.
Just like shows I don't like, I don't watch them. I am a big boy and can ignore a post on my own.
Plus with the thread view gone it doesn't take up the entire first page like it could have in the past.

I didn't vote for the me option, yet it shows I voted for the me option.
I demand a recount!***

^ doesn't have a fundamentally basic understanding of which side is called 'liberal' and which is called 'conservative'.
I enjoy the political threads if only because Iook forward to the obligatory gif from someone that says 'not this shlt again' or some other way to let everyone know that they don't want to participate in the topic and they have successfully identified a topic where people are disagreeing.
Someone continually pointing out in every political post that back and forth discussion and disagreement won't lead to change is a delicious piece of irony.

No one is forced to click on a thread. I don't see the problem. Plus, this is a Miss State sports board. There is not Miss State sports going on year-round and some of those sports threads get just as ugly.

I’d rather have threads that bring us all together… like Brylie St. Clair in pink bikini noodling a giant catfish:
Nobody is holding a gun to your head to make you read EVERYTHING on this board. If you don't like a topic....DON'T READ IT. I view message boards as entertainment. If I don't enjoy a topic or the banter about a topic, I just don't participate. For example, I don't give a hoot about mole crickets. I just ignored that multivolume epic. 
Skip anything over 2-3 sentences. Life's too short.
How about limit the amount of comments one user can make on a topic? I know idiots could have more than one user account, but that would limit golfer from burning up his keyboard.
The only time political posts on this board bothered me was that one time I almost agreed with mstateglfr.
No. I just skip through the lib BS.
Lock it now. This thread has no chance of being as long as or as entertaining as the recent one on climate change. I guess I'll vote No, btw. We're in dead zone for State sports right now and even a post about a potential pitching coach isn't all that interesting.
I like 99% of the posts here. AFA political posts are concerned I enjoy the folks huddling in their safe spaces quoting their media. I get a good chuckle from them.
We're bonded as State fans so there is no animosity from me no matter if name calling results. I enjoy Derbin and Golfer posts. They are really entertaining .

Literally only conservatives gripe about political threads on this here messageboard
Typical Democrat election tampering.
There is only a small number of posters that ruin things. Everyone knows who they are, even the ones that are doing the ruining. I have put them on ignore and life is much better. At times I am interested in reading about a particular political topic but no matter what the subject might be, the same 4 or 5 posters quickly come along to destroy the conversation.
I think having the ability to read or listen to the erroneous opinions of a moron and NOT get triggered, outraged, lose sleep, or otherwise be bothered by it is a cardinal virtue.
No, but the constant conflict with my ad blocker pisses me the 17 off.
i can handle a political thread if it starts as one.....what i absolutely hate is a non political thread that turns political....i log off the board at that point
Posts like these are more annoying than glfer's. The "in before the lock" crowd. If you don't want to read, don't click. But once you do (because you do want to read), you get inundated with all these attention whoring dildos posting lOcK iT uP!!11.
This poll has such a left-wing progressive vibe to it. Is it sponsored by MSNBC?******
Golfer and paindonthurt could both apply here. You just probably agree more with pain.
At least golfer can keep things on topic and be respectful. Pain has called numerous people on this board “the worst poster on this board”. And continually resorts to personal insults. The venom and when things turn personal far more often come from the conservative side of this board.
Lock the thread and then watch for the subsequent "since that other thread got locked..." post
I don't have anyone on ignore because I want to hear everyone out and people do make sports posts. The ideas don't bother me as much as the "You're stupid!" slap fests.
It's still it's good to know it's an option if it gets too much.
This is probably the best way to frame it. I actually enjoy the political threads given there is a nice range of opinions from "regular folks" I share at least something in common with of 4 years living in Starkville and the glory and pain that comes with following State sports. There are some pretty sharp opinions that provide the "other side of the argument" and food for thought. I will say, when someone tries to hijack other threads I just skip over the comment knowing what they are trying to do.
