that's what my unformed opinion at this point in the experiment says.
ban politics altogether.
I do not think it is the subforum, but the lack of control and communication skills of some. It will pop up again in other areas.
As stated above, I think current events will just become the place for it if we removed Politics.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.
I think I am funnier than I really am.
I know what you mean -- I posted about teaching because I didn't think I was going to get lectured about the evils of "government schools" and CRT and nonsense like that.
I am still here to call all things government evil.
I know I can count on you.

We have finally found a point to agree one. Miracles do happen.

I don’t believe in calling people sheep or sheeple.

2Tim. 3:16,17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
I always found it interesting that Jesus refers to believes as “sheep” in his parable. It’s not exactly a complement.
Maybe because as a whole without the Shepherd we quickly follow paths that lead us to destruction. We are easily led astray by this and that 'philosophy' or way of looking at scripture, or a very charismatic or other leader. Indeed we are sheep and without our Shepherd are lost and headed for destruction. Sheep apparently are hopeless without a good shepherd, we are hopeless without our Shepherd.
Jesus was being honest- may not be a complement but then......

I’d rather be a sheep then a goat. Goats are clever, escape artists, generally trouble. They tend to be more aggressive and irritable too.
