Dear Jacob
Recently a lot of political posts have been allowed. It's your forum, but it seems to be a fairly new development. When I first came here it was a refuge from the toxic political environment where I could just talk mystery shopping. We managed to get through a horrible election without any drama to speak of.
Now, Moosehoose refuses to stop making political posts slamming liberals. I always feel like I need to defend myself from him and that is not a nice feeling. I"m not even that much of a liberal, being a more tolerant, middle of the road type, personally. I can imagine how the more wallflowerish among us feel.
Why do you allow posts that target roughly half of us and make us feel bad, or angry, or unfairly targeted? I just don't get it. And yes, I wouldn't want to see that type of thing about Conservatives either.
I have successfully ignored somewhat political posts in the past and not complained, because it wasn't a pattern of the person who started the thread. This is a pattern. It's a refusal to stop targeting liberals and calling them names and accusing them of everything under the sun. That is why I'm speaking up about it.
I know there is an ignore option but you also know that it's not 100% effective. At all.
If this is the new normal then I have to rethink the time I spend here.
Thanks, CQ
