The WGOM

This is a time marker so that I know to delete any offending LTEs after this one.

Sorry, Boss. I will behave.

Can I voice my displeasure for Nick Punto not being asked to be VP on one of the tickets?

Hey Boss, I think you need to stick it somewhere here.

I guess this means no discussion of anything Curt Shilling, too. Which isn't a bad thing.

Can I still bad mouth the hated Bison? Did I just waste my warning?

Moss, you are on notice.

SBG, just curious, may I ask why? Is it a legal thing or a preference thing? Folks getting too outta hand? Just curious. Totally fine with the decision.

I know I'm not around often, so my opinion should count very little, but I'm very grateful for this policy.

I dislike politics (I'm not anti-government, but rather anti-politicians; they annoy me).

My name is Twayn, and I approve this message.

I actually enjoyed the political discussions here, even when they got a little heated. It was one of the few places I could go to read somewhat intelligent conversation on the matter. Nate Silver's site should keep me tied over, though.

Can we talk about politicians if its not about their politics? Like say, Marion Berry gets caught smoking crack again?

I kid, boss. Unless you would actually be open to such a thing.

I decided a few days ago that I was going to lay out of political discussions here, so this is okay by me. I do have a question, though. Sometimes, especially this close to an election, there are various news items dealing with social issues, economic issues, foreign affairs, etc., that take on a political flavor, whether we want them to or not. Are those permissible, or would you rather we not bring up anything like that.

I'm fine with whatever you say. I am aware, as you noted, that it is your site, and you have a right to run it any way you want. I just don't want to break the rules accidentally. I would miss it if I wasn't allowed here any more.

I will readily take much of the blame for getting the Boss in a state. I apologize for site-jacking with too many politically oriented posts.

This is just too good a community to be ruined by partisan rancor and I should have known better. I will do my very best to stick to baseball, beer, music and snark from this point forward. I'd hate to be one of the major causes of ruining the fun here. Particularly for SBG. After all, it's his lawn and I don't want to be told to get off it.

I like the call, SBG.

Finally! Change I can believe in.

I'm going to stake out a position in the minority and say I enjoyed the nature of the political discussion here. I thought it was well-informed and rational on all sides, and yet snarky enough to keep a nice "edge" to it. I'm not trying to paint myself as disgruntled, because obviously it's your site and I'm happy to see you doing what you want with it. I just want to offer my view.

(If that big HINT is indicating what I think it's indicating, I'm looking forward to it, because my first thought after I saw this notice was something that I think is along those lines.)

Swedish politicking also that goes.
