Should the Impeachment effort get its own forum on DU?

[PeaceNikki]

You know... to discuss, debate, consolidate efforts and information, etc.

1. Should there be a forum dedicated to the suggestion of new forums?

[PeaceNikki]

2. Start your owm poll on that!

:P

[Buzz Clik]

4. Fine!

9. Your poll is doing better than mine.

Right now, "Why did I click the link to this thread" is winning my poll with a whopping 2 votes.

:cry:

3. As long as we can hide it like we did GD:P, yes.

:patriot:

11. i believe the idea

is just that: to hide them away.

12. Or consolidate and focus

[Richardo]

16. Well, we see the same posts day after day after day...

...it would be nice to opt out occasionally.

[PeaceNikki]

17. I've sent a message to the admins

Asking them to consider move to a new forum or please ask people to stop attacking each other over this topic. It's been horrible this week.

[dweller]

18. hide a thread

is still an option.

19. Stopping the attacks on one another is also an option.

5. Impeachment is long overdue for this bunch.

Get the lead out, Conyers and Pelosi. Democracy demands you do so!

I think there will be more and more posts on impeachment as the demand for it continues to grow, so a forum dedicated to it might be nice.

6. We already have an impeachment forum

Are you suggesting getting rid of it or did you not realize we had one?

[LTR]

7. You can always set up a DU group

EDIT: Never mind - there already is a group.

However, anyone can propose a group:

21. Should DLC supporters get their own forum?

[Swamp Rat]

22. We already know you are against impeachment, and "Kucinich worshippers."

Maybe YOU should go somewhere else since you choose not to use hide-a-thread.

[Richardo]

24. It's really just the exact same concept as GD:P.

We're only talking about a separate forum with an 'opt out' option so that each member can decide whether to take it off her/his own front page at her/his discretion.

The impeachment threads are voluminous, heated, inflammatory and repetitive, and requiring the membership at large to hide each individual objectionable thread is cumbersome and puts the burden on the (reading) victims rather than the (posting) perpetrators. And again, we're not talking about hiding threads so one can not see them at all, but just taking the entries off the front page.

The impeachment discussion is a well-defined area, the camps are established and entrenched, and why should the rest of the board be subjected to the same circle of argument over and over, world without end, amen?

[Swamp Rat]

25. The same was said of Cindy Sheehan threads.

I think a few people here want to bury impeachment.

Posters who don't like it can go somewhere else or use hide-a-thread.

[Richardo]

27. Well, I can't explain it any more simply than I already did...

...and I don't think anyone would say that GD-P was 'buried'. Do you?

[Swamp Rat]

28. Dígame en español porque no te entiendo nada.

¿Estas tratando construir el espantapajaro también?

[Richardo]

30. That is apparent.

...and I don't see how it's a strawman.

[PeaceNikki]

29. I think if you make BIGGER pictures people will be more convinced.

[Richardo]

31. !!

23. In a month, it may be a moot question

Let's keep it here while it lasts.

[Swamp Rat]

26. I agree
