Thanks for letting us know your reasons, Chris, but I have to agree with Guido. I, too, see no end to your future monitoring. I would add that personal attacks exist on plenty of climbing-related threads, too. We even have our own four-letter words, e.g. bolt, trad, that almost always result in insult-fests.
I rather suspect that most here view resort to ad hominem attacks as a sign of a lost argument.

Mr CMAC, where in the guidelines , does calling someone a chicken f*cker fall? Or how about trailer trash? Or calling someone a liar, like a few did here to Mr John Long yesterday?
Ill be happy to e mail you whenever this happens. BUt it could be pages worth.

Never opened that thread, or most other politard threads. Am indifferent to it and its deletion. Either way it won't change my ST experience.

I would be fine if you nuked all the non climbing crap .
I can get all that elsewhere but ya' can't get the climbing
content , the gems of ST anywhere else.
I'm fine with all the OT stuff also as some of it has entertainment
value .
I just don't understand how people get so geeked over politics
and religion .
Either way ... I control the buttons on MY cornputer

Thanks for the explanation Chris. I don't blame you. Personal online attacks between strangers is just creepy and unhealthy all the way around.. You created this place, it's yours to clean up as you see fit.

Bravo. Keep it up.
That whole genre of posts is useless in my opinion. Nobody will ever change their political opinions based on a shouting match over the internet. Doing so is a waste of perfectly good electrons.
If what you seek is ranting over the internet, there are approximately 9 trillion other venues in which to do so.

Any thread that gets Russ to post is a good thread.
I'm glad the thread was nuked (even though I never read it). Why in the world that people start off topic threads that they KNOW are going to get the opposing factions spewing hatred at each other, if beyond me.

Yes Apogee, I don't understand why Ron starts a thread like that, although I quite like Ron. But folks from "the other side" start inflammatory threads too.

I second what RyanD said. Get an OT tab on this bitch, and let the politards bicker in solitude while the real climbers get their own section.

I suggested the same thing many times.
Put a tab on the top for these girly men poltarded loons to bitch and moan all day with their loon talk.
Make it the "Loon" tab. :-)
Go get em loons!!!!
Fuk what a bunch a babies crying all day posting stupid sh!t.
These jackasses couldn't think themselves out of paper bag.
But they know all the answers to every cop problem and political problem.
This why America has no real problems because these loons are here solve them all, rolls eyes ......

Fine, perfect advice, anita....but it doesn't work.
The more prolific OT OP's throw 'em up there, due to their own attention-seeking psychosis, and off it goes....
See, some people find those threads annoying, and follow that advice...others kinda like to discuss OT topics, and use them as a means to do so....and others really don't give a shite about the OT topic, but just love to feed the troll and set him on fire for sheer entertainment.
It's this last group that proves that self restraint alone won't stop ST's most peripatetic OT Troll Threads.

How does one do a search for the OP's of all ST threads?
Who is the king/queen OP of all OT/polititard thread starters?
Nip that sh#t in the bud.
Apogee, check it out. Just enter anyone's name in the search for topic by nickname & select search topics only. I did ur name so u can see how it works but enter anyone's avatar/screen name and be amazed. This is a good way to find awesome climbing content too.
