I wonder if an echo that had a geo-political or just political focus would be a starter? If it was set up it could be a place for discussi about global politics and peoples thoughts, fears, hopes etc. the com with it.
From my experience with another message network, people may still end up getting into political discussions in the 'general' echo and will argue that a 'general' echo is for any topics, so that kind of thing should still be allowed in 'general'..
So I'm not against political chatter per say but against the poor behaviour that seems to accompany it when some go off the deep end trying to convey their point of view.

Can we have a FSX_Politics base? This is getting annyoing to see
everyone bitching - complaining about it.
If I wanted to see this shit I can get on FB or other social media platforms or watch the news. It's getting old.
If FSX_Politics did exist, I certainly wouldn't look at it.

That all said, I have found there are participants here who seem ok with discussing politics until someone questions their stance, then they cry "but politics!" like they are not the ones who made the discussion political to being with. Keep your eyes peeled and you might notice that as well.

I prefer the current rule of "no politics or religion on fsxNet". Like Scuz said, there are other places to go if you want (talk|argue|spew) those topics.

I posted one of my responses over on Dovenet Debate as I know at least a couple of the thread's participants also post there.
FIDO Politics, and several other FIDO political echoes, are also
available to those who would like to discuss politics.

You'll see I have posted a request (I seem to have to do this from time
to time) requesting folks take that subject to an othernet.

I agree things can be viewed by everyone differently / subjectively but if
subject matter is into which leader of a country did or didn't do xyz, whatn
country may/may not do to another etc. etc. I think it's fairly clear to all it's a political thread emerging.

Agreed, which is why it is funny when the person who starts the
discussion suddenly starts crying foul. If you don't want to discuss
it, don't bring it up. ;)
