Although, it is interesting to me that certain posters join a Pearl Jam fan club a little over a year ago and all they post is “the news,” with little to no comment. Funny to me because Pearl Jam and their music hasn’t really been relevant for six years or so. Late bloomer? Stumbled along and found them? But they rarely post anywhere else on the forum and yet their overtly political. Odd? Then again maybe they were banned and came back with a new user name/avatar or maybe their a bot/troll. Lots of links, rare comments but I guess that’s more desirable than 24/7 Team Trump Treason? To each their own.benjs said:

If you're bringing up rules, we're not going to reach common ground.

My rationale is that it's not fair to the other topics that usually just get left behind while the media black hole sucks everything else up yet again.

Post two: a comment about what Trump will do about it
Post three: a comment about what Trump did about it
Post four: a comment about what Trump's comments symbolize to the world
It's fair and reasonable to say that a conversation about a shooting should at least be allowed to exist about a shooting for some amount of time (preferably more than 'no' time) before it, like most other threads, inevitably gets related to Trump and veers the conversation into a new direction.
And for clarity purposes, the second post wasn’t about what Team Trump Treason would do about it, but rather, what he would say about it. Would he condemn it? Stick up for Muslims in some way, shape or form? No, it was to link to Breitbart with no comments at all. Disgusting.

Is that comment directed at me, or who is it directed? Or are you drunk posting. Anyways, if that is directed at me thank you. At least I goit better things to do than to argue with someone for 5 pages on the same Trump topic...Halifax2TheMax said:

As much as Fraser Anning is a racist piece of shit, there’s no excuse for attacking someone in public office. What if the kid had a knife instead of an egg? Worst case scenario then is a political assassination, and the piece of shit becomes a martyr.Meltdown99 said:

Simple logic, my friend. Arguing during even hours at least gives you an even chance of winning the argument. Arguing during odd hours give the impression that you are an odd ball and so you've lost before you even get out of the gate.Meltdown99 said:

Yeah, at best it was a dumb move. Attacking a politician? That's just not going to gain anything. The kid will be lucky if he isn't charged with assault. There have to be better ways of calling out racist pigs than to lower oneself to doing stupid things.goldrush said:

Agreed. I tend to think the 17-year-old was looking for attention, he found it.goldrush said:

But he didn't have a knife. Clearly his intention wasn't to do harm, it was to crack an egg on his head, signifying 'you're a piece of shit." Which he is, and it isn't 'which side of the political spectrum do you fall on?' question. It's a morality question.goldrush said:

The kid also exposed him for being a short-fused, violent asshole. Hopefully it ends his political career, but the people who vote for a person like that tend to get excited by violent actions.0 -

If by "no comment" you mean that threads like this one are started with a simple link, and a simple description of an event, and lets people take it from there - I don't see what the problem is to define a topic to the community before espousing an opinion. I consider that immensely more desirable than an immediate pivot to relate a shooting in New Zealand to Trump, though like you said - to each their own.Halifax2TheMax said:

As for what people are here for - I don't really care. I've seen a good amount of shows, and just committed to Ohana to see Eddie later this year, but I haven't seen the band in a few years and that's the reality with them not having the appetite to tour these days. If people are here and engaging fairly and we're all learning and teaching, why does it matter? We should hold them (and ourselves) to account if we're failing on any of those fronts, and preserve this as a good place to engage.'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2
