If it was restricted to banned people that would make sense and would actually be kind of fun. I don't see a problem. The Conservative posters mostly don't like the main thread and GH has abandoned it for various reasons. Now they have a space they can talk politics in that they find more comfortable. And it's pretty vigorous, so that's good. It vastly accelerates echo chambering of course, but I think most people are past caring about that. | ||

I don't think it's a good thing but if it's what they want, it is what it is. | ||

No matter how dumb you think Wegandi's posts are I have no doubt that he believes in them. The global warming denial where he talks about the breeze of the wind and such had to have been purely provocative though. | ||

Feels like an Alt, who's first 10 post on a gaming website are in the USpol thread? Like "man sweet a hearthstone website with forums, hmmm I think I'll see if I can find a politics thread and start a fight!" He's definitely a PBU. Just report him and wait. | ||

It don't see the sense in having two threads for the same purpose, but I guess they figure the two sides can't coexist. | ||

I'm not stopping "the other side" from posting in the blog so it seems to be mostly a grassroots accommodation. | ||

It's a tread for those who have been banned or is otherwise unhappy with the regular thread.. Can't imagine why that would create an echo chamber. What's stopping the rest of us from posting in it is that we already have politics thread; you know the original one? I can't quite fathom what this thread is suppose to do or why Seeker cleared it, but I admit I don't have any strong feelings towards having it removed either. Not like it's hurting me by simply existing or anything. | ||

The blog gives those people who can't get along in the main thread a place to post and chat about politics. But it isn't an echo chamber. It's just another space. There's less pushback against certain things, but there's been no fights either. Seems like a success to me so far. | ||
