I will never read B&G. Although this one is plenty adversarial, it is about Hoyas basketball. I get enough politics everywhere else. Please keep labels like “lefties” out of the discussion here. Agreed. Until this thread, I had never visited the Blue & Gray Board in the decade+ that I have been here and reading HoyaTalk. I had always assumed it was just a Georgetown-related discussion thing (though I guess that's what 37th & O is for). I won't be visiting that section again. I firmly believe that sports are a good respite from politics (unless there is a direct issue that requires paying attention to it, which does happen from time to time), and I certainly don't come to HoyaTalk looking for it. Now that I know the moderators need to moderate that too, even more kudos to them!

I go straight to the “last 10 posts” tab, which includes all HoyaTalk posts, instead of going to each of the “Basketball”, “Recruiting”, et al. tabs. I get my daily Washington Post political news from SSHoya’s B&G posts. 🤣

In fairness, Ed brought it up here. Probably because he can't defend his positions on that part of the board or in any forum anywhere. He took the shot. Shots back should have been expected. The "leftists" didn't derail the thread. The "Republican" did. The same one that is scared to comment on the part of the board for such things because he knows he can't defend his positions. But, he feels so strongly in his "convictions" that he doesn't even try to do so. Instead, he takes it to the BB part of the board because, in his 90+ years, he's, apparently, not developed a backbone. He's remarkably quiet on the part of the board for the itch he scratched since his side lost and his buying into conspiracy theories have been proven both false and stupid. One would think a pro-life guy would be active on that part of the board in the past few months especially. You may be surprised to know that Ed hasn't had one thing to say. Raise your hand if you're surprised. Oh, look. No hands. Imagine being fortunate enough to live to be 90+ and still not have a ninth grader's understanding of biology nor a well-informed set of beliefs and defenses of the things you profess to believe in deeply. In the words of their favorite President: sad. To all others: pathetic. On topic, Dan and all of the admins do what they do because they love Georgetown and Georgetown basketball. If they need to shut some things down to save some of their own time now and again, so be it. As consumers and posters on the site they provide, the, likely, best response is, "Thank you. I'm sure you're doing what you feel is best for the forum you provide for free." tas, you and I seem to agree on most things, but I have to say this was completely unnecessary. I think SS addressed this issue more than adequately, if only writing for himself.

But, like all poor choices, they can't be taken back and, as such, I'll leave my exceedingly poorly considered post up and take whatever heat for it. I appreciate you and Alto and Saxa for calling me on my idiocy.

Mods…we may want to stick a fork in this thread. I knew I was trading on thin ice when started it…but didn’t think political extremists on both side would take it over.

Anyone who can’t contain themselves and has to resort to naming their political affiliation on a college sports chat room has lost perspective at some level.

States the poster who started this thread by yelling at the admins & telling them you no longer respected them because they're attempting to moderate the board... Smh..

This is a bit of confusing take in the context of how this thread originated. But, in another way, I’d offer that many of us have “lost perspective at some level” simply by spending so much time passionately arguing about college basketball and throwing fits about stuff that is pretty much meaningless on a larger scale.

This thread is becoming Peak Hoyatalk material.
