Would you support a "Chavez asylum" on DU?

[LoZoccolo]

You know, a board where all the Chavez posts go, so that we do not crowd up an American political board with posts about Venezuela.

1. I cannot tell, think this is irony?

or is it sarcasm?

[leftchick]

2. why the word asylum?

why not forum?

[leftchick]

23. oh I see

a chavez hater?

[LoZoccolo]

28. Let's not fight. You don't know that.

For instance, you don't know if I had you on ignore or not, and couldn't see your post, for instance.

[ulysses]

3. assume you mean to do the same with Blair, Merkel, etc?

[LoZoccolo]

5. No. n/t

[ulysses]

6. why not?

[LoZoccolo]

8. My policy of "hypocricy". n/t

[ulysses]

25. You obviously don't understand the principle of "hypocricy".

If I were discriminating based on color, that would not follow the principle of "hypocricy" because I would simply have a principle of racism.

4. After all I heard about Venezuela...

...during last year's playoffs, I'm tempted to say yes, but I must go with no.

[me b zola]

7. .

:wtf: are you talking about. And for the record, I voted "no".

[LoZoccolo]

10. Why did you vote "no" if you don't know what it's about? n/t

[me b zola]

16. The language is inflamatory

An asylum? But yet you would not suggest the same for other heads of state?

Now, if you would have suggested an "asylum" for red-baiters, I would have voted YES.

I would like for you to elaborate on the question that you pose.

[LoZoccolo]

27. But it could be inflammatory language about something you support.

You don't know if I'm on your side or not.

13. Use the neat DU 'hide a thread' feature - problem solved....

:shrug:

[LoZoccolo]

14. Yeah, you're right.

I guess I was thinking how if something becomes too divisive and one or both of the sides keeps getting all snarky and insane, the issue gets moved into it's own forum. I should leave all this to the admins though.

15. A separate Venezuela "dungeon" would be a bad idea

However, a dedicated forum like the I/P one, which focuses the topic but still allows people in GD to talk about Sharon if they want, for example, might be worthwhile.

[otherlander]

17. That would probably be a better idea....

but damn, people on the I/P forum get vicious!:yoiks:

[ret5hd]

18. If the truth becomes uncomfortable...

Move it to an asylum.

Yeah...that's what we need to do. Glad you brought it up. :sarcasm:

[LoZoccolo]

26. Get to know "hypocricy". n/t

[Spazito]

19. Hmmm, I see two active threads on LBN and ...

two threads, including this one, on GD. Hardly crowding out other discussion, imo. Voted no.

[stillcool]

20. had to vote no...but ...I would support....

an asylum on DU for those in need.

[Solo_in_MD]

21. I would vote no on offering Chavez asylum

here at DU or anywhere else for that matter.

29. Yes... Let's Divide DU

that way there is less dialogue.... great idea.:sarcasm: :nopity:

[Pastiche423]

30. Nope

I would not support an asylum for Chavez. But would support one for some DU member's posts.


VIVA CHAVEZ!
