Target is coming to downtown (Pittsburgh, Duquesne: construction, living in, stores)

Try not to take it personally.

Nope...it's every discussion that you insert yourself into.


Both you and Erieguy make this forum useless.

Discussion forums are for discussion. You've got an ignore button you can use if you're that upset about it. No one is making you read anything.

Technically Yac is supposed to spank us and delete posts every time we veer into politics, though his moderation has been light as of late.

These are difficult polarized times, and people are going to talk about difficult polarized things now that politics have crept into every aspect of life.

No one's making anyone read any of it, if you don't want to read it just put the participants on ignore. Simple.

You already said that. Put us on ignore.

We were all talking about downtown retail when you came in and started talking about how useless the forum is now.

My thoughts EXACTLY.

The whole Pittsburgh forum has been a dumpster in past few months.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ForYourLungsOnly again.

Pretty much. It turned into a chatroom. Even with them on ignore. Remember Hopes, Brian and more? Back when SCR was a mere child.

I think Yac is out on leave. I've used ignore on a couple people but do agree this forum is getting poor. I like a good argument/conversation but these are just fighting mostly and it gets inserted into every post. Wish Yac would come and start banning again. I'm fine with it in a specific thread but ugh not every thread. I know some people are too extreme to have a conversation with and they end up on ignore. Eschaton I am sure we are on opposite sides of many topics but you always come across respectful and add something to a conversation (and have a basis that makes sense). I assume that is also why you have not been as active the past few months.
