The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Deleted as it was pertaining to the current discussion.

Maybe this can be kept?

Yeah, it's tricky to discuss whether there's any such thing as 'political' without getting too political.

Especially when something is not political in one country and eminently political in another. In a multicultural board, it is tricky to even notice something is political.

Edit: Nothing about the posts upthread of here

It's ok to just shut up and let it go.

I can't believe you would refer to my posts in such a manner! They are insightful, brilliant pieces of contemporary art, unsullied by conceits of class and station! I am delivering pearls before swine.

And by swine, I mean RPGPundit.

Maybe this can be kept?

I would say, probably not!

What, were you expecting Shady? We all think we're Marshall, but we're really Andy.

I'll assume this is about pineapple winning the species survival poll, because anything else feels like trouble ...

No, that's still political.

The point of the criticism -- and this is an argument that comes from the world of arts criticism -- is that "apolitical" works are simply works where the politics aren't apparent to the consumer, since they match their existing worldview. But take that art to another place or time and the politics are very clear. Nearly every bit of work that's said to have "not aged well" is a work that was seen as "apolitical" when it was created, since it matched contemporary politics of that place and time.

Now, that's not the same as saying everything is starting a political argument, which is how many people, especially partisans in the U.S., respond to the word "political" nowadays.

Everyone knows that pineapple cannot win. There can be only ONE winner of that poll.

BEHOLD!

CORN!!!!!!!

Seriously. I leave for a few weeks, and the thread is overrun by non-pineapple topics and a poster I've blocked?

Keep it together folks! Eyes on the prize! If the thread gets shut down, the Bards win!
