We'd have a gazillion (cat, LotR, Hugh Dillon) threads in a heartbeat.

I've been meaning to ask -- where's the cat/LotR/Hugh Dillon-lovers thread? Huh?

Hmm point. So who would be interested in a positive way in a politics thread?

And if I end up there all by myself, we can always delete the thread.

You wouldn't end up there alone, on one general condition that has nothing specifically to do with you: that there's an established and enforced agree-to-disagree, we're-here-to-learn, no-one-will-be-belittled-for-believing-what-they-do policy.

I detest political missionaries as much I detest religious ones, and nothing pisses me off more than someone implying that I'm dumb, so if the thread turns into a you're-wrong-and-I'm-right-and-this-is-why-you're-a-moron-for-not-thinking-the-way-I-do, I'll be outta there faster than the IMF issues privatization orders.

Jen, I think that is an important condition, Kind of help prevents pre-flaming too. (You know borderline stuff that is not quite a flame. )

Morning sunshiners. Should I delete the links page at BraveNet (aka go.to/buffistalinks)? I kinda want to, just because I'm a inveterate thrower-out, like my mom, and because it's not used that much so it's slightly less essential as a backup.

My problem with a politics thread is that it isn't going to stop politics from arising in Natter. I guess when they do, someone can say, "let's take this to politics" at which point probably 2/3rds of the participants will stop participating.

On the full disclosure front, I would be highly unlikely to subscribe to another thread, esp a politics one. But that doesn't mean that I dislike it when a political discussion arises. So in other words, I'd be one of the 2/3rds that I think would stop debating once the subject moved to a more heated atmosphere.

Jengod, I'd delete it. It's not like it'll be staying current with this one.

Anyone want to go over the links page with a fine-toothed comb? I just cleaned up a little, but I'm sure stuff is outdated.

Also, EVERYONE should feel free to add sites, or to suggest categories and reorg. Don't be shy.

I can tell you, for one, that the Angel and Buffy music pages are together now on a new page. I forget the addy, but there's a redirect up.

where's the cat/LotR/Hugh Dillon-lovers thread?

OK, I read this as slash, and was WAY raising an eyebrow...

I'm scared of a politics thread, and would avoid it and hope none of it would spill into other threads, but if people really want it, go for it!
