Misc Cold Season Complaining

[SD]

Why the political get shut down? I thought they were only banning users not the thread.

We aren't going to make this hurricane political or about gw here. If you guys want to do that there's plenty of places to do that on Facebook, twitter, reddit

I've always had the sense to know that I shouldn't get excited for extreme weather, but there was always a small part that got excited even at a potential tornado outbreak, hurricane, ice storm, etc.

Thankfully all those "exciting" feelings are gone for good now.

If another hurricane forms and hits the same areas anytime soon, I will officially move out of the SE and I will retire from the public weather community as a whole.

I feel ya, I wont move but I understand the feeling. Its not as much fun as it use to be as a kid.

Don't punish the whole for the actions of a few.

A political thread has no place on a weather forum.

I can personally see the divide being spread across the whole site, so I'm with SD on not having it open.

After watching all the damage and suffering I'm good for a decent snow event at best. No more ice storm/severe weather giddiness and all that, that's for sure.

Hurricanes suck, been saying it for years and won't stop. Not sure why anyone would want one.

Yet people keep moving to Florida. I guess most people aren’t afraid of hurricanes.

They're basically a giant tornado with water

So a 20 something demonstrated they can take down a thread where sites like americanwx have a political section and would have just banned him.

Everyone gets on edge about tornadoes and the wind with hurricanes, but I think we are seeing flooding is probably the worst natural disaster we can experience here.

It wasn't just one person or one comment, it was the totality of it all. Moderating that site is a lot easier said than done and that's all I'll say about it

idk dudes welcome to his own opinion kinda hard to ban someone on that but it did seem like politics was starting to leak out of the political thread.

 

[LickWx]

In my defense I missed Shane’s post about the hurricane stuff… need the meanager to say it ! I pay attention when he does

 

[Brent]

The other weather board I lurk on hasn't had a political thread since probably Obama since Trump definitely not

There are tons of discussion platforms for politics.

Yep, destruction is titillating as long as nature slams someone else. It's hard to be as pragmatic when you are the slamee. Now you know why I'm so down on zr. 73 cured me forever about being tempted by the shiny pretty glitter in the lights......it's just elegant disguise for potential kill storms. Hope that old house of yours survived the winds ok. Old as it is I'm sure it's seen wind and rain before, but maybe not this bad. I'm pulling for you.
