Nope they dumped it. But the HF one was a complete ship whow of hate and rage and fighting and raging. It was also unmoderated. you know FEEEDOOMMM
I will say I don't really jump into the CP one very often, I'll post the occasional article or respond to a thread.
Its much better handled and for the most part except for an occasional poster, I don't have a problem with how people handle their discussions.
People are going to be passionate about topics like politics. People are going to be entrenched by their political beliefs and they're rarely going to come off of them. But part of being an adult is to decide, if you're going to debate, debate. If your going to rage farm, expect people to jump all over you.
I like the idea of having political discussions on a forum like this. It makes it more interesting then ten threads on why the Flames suck or why Brad needs to be fired.
I mean for me over the last few years. Hockey is boring.
But having a community or forum that comes up with interesting topics whether is entertainment, other sports, politics, tattoos makes CP an excellent virtual gathering pub.
I've only put one person on ignore and he remains there to this day. More because he was just flat out toxic to me.
