I agree with Duke and Boss Tweed, this is an issue for the whole forum and there's no reason to have to put up with it. They're the only ones with enough balls to actually say what they mean and stand up to the trolls. Not everyone is afraid of confrontation and it's about time someone did something. Maybe if these people actually knew how we all felt, we wouldn't be dealing with a bunch of lonely teenagers that offer no political insight whatsoever on a POLITICAL BOARD. Which gives me a nice segue into my nasty message: If you don't have any interest in politics, feel free to post internet quizzes and pictures of yourself all over Yahoo's boards or MySpace and Facebook. This is for the FORUM'S community, not the whole internet community. The Forum Community has taken on a life of its own completely separate from the rest of the Forum and it's a hot bed for useless posts. My thoughts boiled down into one sentence are that those posters whose post count is almost entirely Forum Community or Off Topic should be reconsidering their position on the Forum because those of us with an actual interest in political discussion would like the rest of our Forum back. 
But that's not Duke and Tweed's job. That's why we have moderators. When I placed some of the blame on Duke and Tweed, I forgot to place some blame on the moderators as well.
The whole quality of this forum has decreased. And I'm not perfect either. We could all do better, but BRTD's attitude that Gabu leaving was a good thing shows that there's at least one person who doesn't want to improve the quality of the forum. And in cases like that, the mods can't do anything. I don't think BRTD has done anything ban-worthy, and I wouldn't ban him. But when he goes around tearing down great posters like Gabu, it sends a message to me that some members of this forum don't want to see the forum change for the better.
And lastly, these feuds aren't just with dealing with trolls. We also have back and forths between Duke and BRTD, and that is just getting annoying. Duke needs to learn to just ignore BRTD when he's being dumb.
And to Duke and Tweed, I really don't mean to take this out on you 2. You just happened to be the last 2 posters I saw when I went off. You 2 are 2 of my favorite posters (I know I say that about practically everybody, but I like you 2).
