While I am definitely an outsider on this board, I have been around enough to make some observations. The attempt to separate politics to a specific forum so it doesn't come up in "Active Topics" has been a miserable failure. Every Covid topic, school topic, and Douchebag/Shoutout post that has a right/left view should be placed in the Politics forum so people that don't want to see political issues can avoid them. All these topics that permeate the board help create all the negative energy and hatred that is so apparent on this board. This board has always had a ruthless, asshole vibe which I recognized instantly and somewhat enjoyed when I first came here but it has gotten so much worse. As someone on the left who has grown to despise loudmouth, Trump-supporting conservatives, it is hard to be pleasant when you see all the threads from posters such as Caller Bob and Antartica. I rarely open them but just the title alone creates some hostility that I'm sure I bring into the threads I do open and post in. And I'm sure the threads from the left have a similar effect to those on the right. Maybe I am in the minority of members who don't want to see anything political on this forum. I come here to read about sports talk radio, sports, and the occasional discussion about pop culture and living in the Chicagoland area NOT for left/right opinions and bullshit trolling that is impossible to ignore.

Caller Bob is a professional comedy writer?

Clearly he doesn't use his material here.

A lot of regulars have ceased posting here in the last month. This place is about to join the ranks of WSI on the list of dead Chicago sports forums. Sad because this was entirely preventable

Bully Hendry would have signed Harper for 2.5 Billion over 30 years

You're not wrong.
COVID discussion should just reside in the Politics session and the asshats that keep shitting up every thread with their political thoughts has turned MANY off.

It is pretty simple....political thoughts and bitching kept IN the Politics forum would make a world of difference.

I personally pledge to back waaay the fuck off of the politics talk after Trump wins re-election. You can pin that.

Saving this one for November 4th

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Yes! Hell yes!

Part of the problem is that I can no longer listen to The Score to get my sports talk fix because of the amount of sickening, one-sided, blinders-wearing, exclusionary, hard-line liberal Political Talk they engage in, so I think that might be why we don't talk as much about sports here in general. At least on my end that is a big factor. As much as I try to convert over to WMVP, Something about that station is just so boring and unlistenable, so I just end up not listening to anything at all besides podcasts.

no. most are rooting for the current wsox team. they are fun to watch.

If he loses you should leave this board forever
