But the board doesn’t have those. So I consider this a sports board - something I greatly appreciate about it. (As Cardcrimson notes, I know where to go for politics). And I come to it, in part, to get away from the shit going on in the every day world. So that’s just my thought process. I’m certainly not the boss of this board I just made a suggestion. I won’t dare do so again.
I think cardcrimson was being somewhat sarcastic; once upon a time there were "a forum where Stanford aficionados could discuss current events in a open, honest and intelligent manner". One forum may still discuss current events, but (at least when I last visited a few years ago) stopped really debating in an honest and intelligent manner. The other one (this forum) might have been headed in that direction when the power that be decided to cut off the problem. Perhaps in our current age having such a forum, even one made up of Stanford aficionados, is no longer possible, which is kind of sad.
