Politics are only good to get people pissed off.
according to the common definition of an internet troll from WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
a troll can be one who:
quote: intentionally naive or politically contentious messages

Thanks, but I already AM a moderator for the Lounge. ;)
Anyway, my stance on this...
I don't agree that politics should be outlawed on Microsuck. Let's face it, these days people are much more interested in discussing politics than the latest Microsoft antic or Windows security breach, and for good reasons. Of course, the topics will be heated, but we simply can't stop people from discussing the important issues just because it makes people angry.
As for you, Solaris...
The problem is not that you post about politics as much as how you approach the topic. As Tux said, this is a serious forum, and a certain level of decorum has to be respected.
You should be more succinct when talking about politics, especially when the issue is not the main topic of the forum. You tend to repeat yourself and unnecessarily quote sentences only to add irrelevant or repetitive answers. Just stick to the main point.
Also, you need to work on your spelling, and especially on the quote tags. There's nothing wrong in editing posts just to make corrections, I do it all the time. And when you edit more than once, delete the 'edited by' part at the bottom of post, as the lines pile up and make your post even longer.

When it comes to spelling and grammer its not very importantto me so I usually just skip it. What is important to me is the content of the message.
When we talk about politics and the like of Bush its always defending the obvious. Stating bush is not like hitler or is goverment isn't or something. More however these are posted as the starting thread. I just then post why that is incorrect. Of course I have seen these threads repeat themselves so I inturn repost the information in those repeated threads to why that is incorrect.
Warning -> the following is just an exsample to what has been going on. It is to explain my position and has NOTHING to do with the mod selection. Since someone had posted their position on me I thought this would be the best way to explain it since that is a current post that is going on and seems to be in question.
Stuff like why The U.S. can change the Iraqi flag is definnatly going to be heated but then in that same thread where it is quite proven why the U.S. has no such power to do so they repeat what they said from the beginning. Then all of a suddent I got posts on how I was posting too many posts on Bush/911/Iraq etc when in fact I was not. I was responding to the primary post in that tread that was about those subjects.
Thats basicaly how I see it anyways. I did NOT mean to offend anyone. But if you are going to deny a peace of history and fact no less you can't blame another person from correcting it.
Heck if I was gonna go up to someone and state that the holocaust didn't exist it would make me look like an idiot. I did do something of a sort as a kind of a joke but most didn't get that point anyways.
But in any case thanks for the input.

Solaris, you're a great guy.
but, to be honest, I would not trust you to moderate a forum as open as the lounge.

well I would not sensor you if that is what you are thinking. I just meant pointless rants against other users without any kind of basis. Thats all.

I don't want you to repeat my mistakes at other forums, of going on a power trip and getting people pissed off at you and the forum.
don't be like me.

The only time I do that is when someone is trying to say I was doing someting I was not or when one user unfirly attacks the other user and then wonders why he himself is getting attacked. Anyways I see nothing wrong with you, so far you seem to be a really nice guy!
