I am not opposed to people adding their voices to political discussion - easyed, thebin, and others have added a lot to the depth of political conversation on this board while I might not always agree with them - but its clear from the way that they post that they are Georgetown basketball fans first and foremost. I think that political speech has a place on Hoyatalk but to be a single issue poster (i.e. troll) really misses the point. There are numerous better forums for those who wish to solely discuss politics. If Linux would show us all that he has some common link of fandom of Georgetown basketball then I would welcome his speech on this site - as it stands however, he's really kept me from reading this section of the board which has ocassionally been a temporary way point for those with political views extreme enough to post them on a basketball board.

We already know what we will be getting from him/her, so just put him/her on internal ignore. I have done so re: a certain poster who is not actually a GU alum or fan - believe me, it works very well. Does wonders for your peace of mind.

But this is a basketball Site first and foremost, so unless you have something substantive to add there -- or on any of the sports boards -- take your propaganda elsewhere.

Since the Terrorists won last tuesday, I guess Nancy Pelosi will soon impose Islamic law on this country, and sports like basketball will be outlawed. This board will have to become something other then a sports board.

I don't have any beef with timex, linux, easyed, StPete, whomever...
... I just need someone to tell me how to activate this "IGNORE" feature I've been hearing so much about.

Alas, Buff, there is no such feature that you can activate on the site. You just have to make up your mind to completely skip over anything written by the posters of your choice, no matter how ludicrous or obnoxious. Once you ignore the first one that truly bothered you, you are home free and it is easy to ignore anything else.
