I'm equally annoyed by folks way over here or there, and it looks like that may be the case with the collective mind here.  Ofcourse, to those folks, they are the borg.  i will be assimilated.  and resistance is futile.  dr evil wasn't in star trek, but he seems fitting somehow. 

 

all this because someone called out a few homophobes?

Is this really what this board is like?

Guess being an actual moderate who doesn't agree with the far left or the far right is just too much for you to comprehend.  Enjoy your little echo chamber, i'll find a neutral spot elsewhere.

the way this guy is crashing out over something so innocent feels really familiar

Well if you'd like to keep it going, how am I "crashing so hard"?  I wanted to join a Cubs board but then found this one to be over-run by closed-minded political types who make random assumptions about me, so I've decided to leave and find a more suitable forum.   I guess I couldve just left without saying anything, but felt disrespected so I decided to give it back.

This dude can’t even access the politics board yet

Closed minded by not being bigots. I'm sure you're a moderate...

Literally the second time the Borg has been referenced in a political crashout in the past 6 months

Thankfully so.  I can't imagine how much fun that would be for me.  (not very much)

As far as a borg reference made in the past 6 months, don't know what to tell you, but I get it. 

If you guys are chasing people away with politics, why are you assuming they're just "crashing out"? 

Not sure why I keep coming to look at what new assumptions have been made here.  I'm obviously not wanted and will give you your peace.

I'm going through the toughest time in my life right now and don't feel good about sticking around in a place where im not wanted and with a half dozen posters basically bullying me.  I don't need it.  That said, thanks for your last post here, i appreciate it.

No one bullied you. The group that’s hung around here for more than two decades is very left-leaning, yes, and most are very supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community, so your strange reply to an incredibly well written and thoughtful piece from the Giants blogger generated some push back. What did you expect?

 

You’re not going to convince people here that politics and sports should be separated. Many have tried. Many have failed. Politics is impossible to separate from any facet of life. If you’re not willing to deal with that, you’re probably not going to like it much here.

 

But regardless of all of that, whatever difficulty you’re going through in your life, don’t let a baseball message board be an added source of stress. I hope you’re able to navigate whatever it is you’re dealing with.
