A gentle reminder regarding politics

[Piratecat]

First, I wanted to thank everyone on behalf of the moderators and Admins. Despite what's occurring in the world's political arena, everyone here has stayed remarkably far away from the subject. That's extremely impressive, and it's definitely appreciated.

I wanted to remind everyone that right now many folks (and not just in the US!) are a lot more tense and strained than normal. That usually translates over to the "mood" and tenor of the boards. Please keep this in mind when posting, both in terms of offering people the benefit of the doubt, and in terms of how you phrase your posts. You might want to pause and read over a post before clicking the send button, especially if you think it may be somewhat suspect. If you're tempted to troll or personally attack someone, you're better off just erasing the post.

As always, political .sigs, threads, and comments still aren't going to be appropriate.

Thanks, folks! This is one of the best places online for folks who play D&D - and you're the reason for that.

Clay, get the hell off my leg.

Boys, Are you going to play nice or do we have to seperate you two and then view a new round of cat-pictures?

 

[Nightfall]

I save my political rants for the TV. It's much more fun.

This could be the start of a grand adventure, Clay and the Cat.

One's a potter, the other's a pirate. They fight crime!

With everything that's happening and all the talk of war, well:

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.


It's nice to have somewhere to come where people don't talk about matters political non-stop. And as the bosses thank the posters, we thank the the bosses for our holiday away from the real world.

There's something going on in politics???





If we really wanted to talk about it online, we'd go to Nutkinland. We come here to get AWAY from "reality."

ENworld = escapism. Let's continue keeping politics out of it, yes?
