POTUS Place - Your Opinion?

[blakegober]

I am very glad we did the move. I was about to quit coming here due to the abundance of political topics. The new subforum has allowed me to get what I came here for and nothing else.

I'm glad it's in a separate place where I need not look. Keep the politics over there.

Thanks.

Twenty years ago I would have agreed the politic has no place in my outdoor hobbies but in recent years “WHO” we elect seem to have everything to do with our rights as outdoorsmen, sportsmen, fishermen, etc.

Not sticking my head in the sand regards


Thanks for the POTUS Place Chris

Don't argue:
Politics
Religion
Dogs

follow the above and life may be dull but it will be stress free. For me it is especially the dogs. Sometimes hard to stay out of dog talk.

Election is over not much going now.

to be honest I forgot until now that it was there....after the tiring political season of the last TWO YEARS I had to take a break from political talk...I dont mind the ocassional jab but the one thing I have learned on this forum is that any of you wont change me from a conservative to a liberal and I wont try to change you from a e collar trainer to amish style as some (not me) call it.....but I still like most of you on here and look forward to meeting you before all is said and done

I believe that the creation of the POTUS Forum was the correct move and allows those that wish to engage in politics, the opportunity to do so.

My only concern is that when there are political issues that affect our retriever games, hunting, land access, breeding, etc.; they are incorrectly pushed over the the POTUS Forum. (The most recent example being the post about the positions held by the SecAG and the SecDOI appointees.) Many individuals have stated that they don't visit the POTUS Forum and thus they never have the opportunity to see these relevant posts. IMHO, these type of political posts should definitely be on the main forum even if they offend a few people because of their importance to the group as a whole.

Seems to me that there has been more substantive dog training discussion going on this forum since POTUS was created than ever before. It will control itself, ebb and flow with the mood of the country, pitch left and right with the opinions of its participants.

I applaud you, Chris, for creating POTUS in the first place, recognizing the need to separate the passion and the product. Yes, it may be a bit of maintenance issue, but at the end of the day you've served the needs of your "members" on both fronts.

Keep it. Keep an eye on it. Trust me: those "whiners" who complain about a forum they don't participate in will keep you in the loop....

Ironical regards,

Its fine in its own spot were I never have to look at it.

Once in a great while I will stop over there to see what is going on and if I am bored will read the posts to see people argue! I do like having it in it's own place but if it isn't something I want to read I won't open it anyway so I guess it doesn't really bother me much. On the other hand thanks for a great website Chris! I have learned a lot!
