    Confront
    Like I said... you are very sensitive... and IMO... sensitive people should think twice about posting in the political section... as a matter of fact... some sites even give a warning about that very issue.

      I don't give a crap whether you post in the political section or not but if you think that there are too many long quoted paragraphs... don't have an opinion on something and have an interest in... then why did you feel the need to start a thread complaining about how this site has become like TB?
      Because I was hoping to maybe stir up some posting interests on this site besides just right wing political opinions.

        Now... finally... you admit that it's the leftists who are the problem... not the conservatives. Sorry... but they refuse to post anything now since they can't control the discussions anymore.

        That's all I wanted you to say in the first place.

          You are drawing the wrong conclusion from what I said. I wasn't looking for just leftists to post. I was looking to start a thread with more participation that might grow the site.

            Nice try...

            Why are so so afraid of just saying what most members already know... the cocky leftists who used to post regularly in the political section are no longer doing so because they can't control the discussions anymore. It's Ok to say that you are dissappointed in them because IMO... they don't care one bit about you or seeing this site becoming right leaning... all they care about is keeping their pride intact and not looking like a fool when it comes to still defending the sorry leftist agenda.

              I'm not afraid to say it. I don't know it to be the case. You know more than I do. I've said before that I don't know what went on behind the scenes. I don't know why some choose not to post in certain threads. I don't know why Muler's retirement thread was erased. I don't know why X was demoted. I assumed that Jimmy made whatever changes he made was to grow the site. It doesn't appear to have worked as of yet................ Regardless of what you want to believe I only started this thread to maybe get some more participation on this site. Not to look for sympathy.

                That right there is what some are hoping for... that's why they're not posting and it seems to me... that you are wishing the same... after all... you said it yourself... "I miss the old TOL ".

                That's right... you don't know what went on behind the scenes... just like many of us don't either... that's why IMO... that's where the problem lies which is what they will end up having to deal with... not the members if they want this site to succeed.

                  No I'm not wishing for us to fail. And yes I do miss the old TOL. I miss logging in to find topics of interest to me. That is why I started this thread in the hope that it might help TOL grow

                    There should be no reason EITHER side should not post imo.
                    I think the banning became annoying.
                    Wizard did not leave. Sayhey did not leave and they are far from right-wing politics.
                    All union stances are not total leftist stances. Nor are they all stances from the right.
                    America and unions were stronger when the views were not....unions are socialists/communists.
                    Or unions must support all antiright policies.
                    I think unions and America were strongest when unions agreed with traditional Christian family values.
                    Unions are about money and work standards.....all to benefit members families.
                    It comes down to families and the ability to have a marriage and family and home and afford it all without being at work 24/7.

                    Yet one side outright despises and attacks unions.
                    And the other outright attacks traditional Christian values.
                    Unions and families and values made America great.

                    Both are eroding to a point of no return.
                    Who benefits?
                    Huge investors who use people like livestock.
                    Politically and in the market.
                    Profits over people.

                      I'm curious... just what topics are of interest to you and how has TOL turned into a mini version of TB?

                        Let's just all stick up for our leftist friends now... after all... it's not their fault why this country is going to hell in a handbasket... either by supporting or defending the corrupt socialist establishment leaders or by just simply being compliant or remaing silent about what's been going on this last 4 years and steadily getting worse. Let's just all be happy and get along now because we can't be held responsible for how our leaders are making fools of us and destroying this great nation of ours. Just like when it came to the Measters and the IBT ruining this once great union of ours. We all were just supposed to forgive and forget the Measters because they didn't know for what they were doing... let's just all get along and be happy... even though our great union is just a shell of its former self.

                        Sorry... but I will neither forgive nor forget when people refuse to even aknowledge their past indiscretions... let alone admit that they could of been wrong. That's just enabling bad behavior if you ask me.

                            Anything union and especially Teamster issues including LTL freight companies. Anything involving the military especially Veterans Affaires issues. pensions and MEPF issues, daily news, public affaires, things involving current government and political issues to name a few. Those and others were usually posted every morning when I logged in.

                            I don't have a lot of posts for a member who has been here 13 years. I went back and found that I have only started 19 threads. Only 17 are listed. Of the 17 listed 15 were here in the community lounge. That is why I started this thread here hoping to involve opinions other than just politics.

                            Docker yes I do believe that TOL has turned into a mini version of TB. Just look at the participation with the exception of this thread. A daily LTL stock report and this day in history. Other than that the only posting is done in the political forum by Trump supporters trying to defend his IMO unproven claims of a stolen election. By right wing supporters quoting right wing opinion blogs.

                            I know that some sites warn the political form is not for the faint hearted. I tried to stay away because I didn't want to become involved in the fighting between members on TOL. I only reluctantly joined in after the change because there wasn't anyone else doing it. I regret my involvement because it was pointless.

                              Well... I'm sorry to disappoint you 2631 but you are going to see fighting between members on TOL if there comes a time when someone starts trying to defend the establishment's agenda and actions... at least from me. IMO... it's no longer a right/left issue... it's an us vs them issue and the future of America is at stake and that's not a conspiracy and neither was the fraudulent election which you just implied because there is plenty of proof but many... like yourself and the courts fail to even acknowledge or consider... let alone have it's day in court. You can't prove a fraudulent election if you don't even get an opportunity to present all the evidence. And in my mind... that just goes to prove that to be a fact since our corrupt establishment refuses to even let it have it's day in court and present all the evidence.

                              And by the way... you claiming that you started only 19 threads in 13 years is an unproven claim. And even though you may think that you have proof to back that statement up... don't bother because I won't acknowledge or consider taking it into account because it will only be considered spreading misinformation in my book.

                              As for saying that TOL has turned into a mini version of TB... another unproven claim.

                              But still... here you are... starting a thread on your opinion of unproven claims. Now... are you going to go on trying to defend these unproven claims and take the risk of disappointing other members who feel like you do when it comes to reading nothing but posts defending unproven claims? I know... you're going to say... that's absurd... and you would be right... but IMO... so was your statement saying that the only posting is done in the political forum by Trump supporters trying to defend his IMO unproven claims of a stolen election.

                              Social media these days are mostly nothing but opinions and opposite viewpoints... ideologies and philosophies. And yes... just in case you are wondering... that is another unproven claim but I won't bother to try proving it because I don't want to fill this thread up with nothing but defending that unproven claim.
