Nope. Most folks there are so crazy their replies are just sad rather than funny.

j/k. Accidentally posted in P&N once and got severely flamed. Those guys are intense.

 

[Mr N8]

P&N doesn't even show up in my categories.

I'm too conservative for anyone there, anyway.

[Mnementh]

Never been in there doesn't interest me in the slightest... must be the thought of all the rabid dogs in there that puts me off.

 

[dragonballgtz]

To many a$$holes in P&amp;N.

 

[K1052]

Only for a very few topics.

Sweet. Do it. Doooooooooo it.

Although I doubt the mods would go for it. So I guess it's just a moo point.

I was searching for a thread on the olympics and accidentally left P&amp;N in the search parameters. There was a thread "debating" (read people flaming back and forth) Bush's use of the word "Olympics" in a campaign ad. Both sides had me shaking my head in disgust.

It is the perfect reminder of why every time I think "I should get up to speed on politics. Maybe I should go read P&amp;N to get informed." I just drop that line of thought.

We're not ALL bad! I too was wary of P&amp;N for a long time, but now spend a fair amount of time there. It helps once you have a sense of who the usual suspects are - some people can just be ignored for the most part.

That was indeed a particularly stupid thread. They aren't all like that. That thread was a good illustration, though, of the dynamic that can develop in P&amp;N when a slightly hazy issue (in that case, the Bush campaign's reference to the Iraqi and Afghani Olympic teams, in spite of the disapproval of the IOC/USOC and the Iraqi team) falls directly on partisan lines. People do sometimes get nasty.

Of course, it doesn't help when people start troll threads, like the ones PM started this morning. There are people on P&amp;N who pretty much exist solely to do this.

 

[jjones]

P&amp;N doesn't need any stirring up; it's a 'tard blender as it is.

 

[pyonir]

Any time i feel bad about myself, i go into P&amp;N and realize it isn't that bad. If people are out there and can believe some of the crap they post...then I guess i'm doing ok for myself.

~30% of the largely liberal folks in P&amp;N are mistaken about a prominent politician's ethnicity, it's not a troll thread, it's a poll &amp; I think it's encouraging that people are voting what they percieve before clicking on the links.
