If you click the "Running Threads Only" option on the filter pretty much all of the political threads magically disappear.
This isn't hard.
This doesn't work when you and your ilk hijack running threads. For example, someone starts a thread like, "Has Anyone Here Tried Zone 2 Training?". For a page or two, the responses are running focused and on topic with posters sharing their opinions on the headline topic. Then a minor disagreement flares up...
Zone 2 Fan - "Zone 2 takes time and you have to be patient! There is a lot of good science to back it up."
Speed Rules - "Science?! Yeah, OK. People can study and get the results they seek by how the study was designed. Other good science supports doing threshold work from Day 1. I don't see elites jogging at 12 minute pace."
Sensing an opportunity to crap all over a post and to get dopamine hits, a new poster enters the thread...
Adult Skeptic - "Like Fauci science? Of course, his "research" found vaccines safe and effective. Big Pharma and their allies love experimenting on idiots that will swallow whatever the government tells them to. You have to be a total loser to take the Pfizer poison!!!"
I Don't Like Adults - "Here we go! Name a study that proves 100% that vaccines kill and the government knows this?"
Adult Skeptic - "The truth is out there if you are willing to abandon the Jewish owned lamestream media's attempts to make you buy what the White House is selling. I'd cite many papers but you won't read them because you are an illiterate toady. I hear Mommy calling you!"
This goes on for many pages and a running topic is no longer a running topic. If politics and conspiracy posters would leave running threads alone, then your solution works. The trouble is that you and your likeminded friends do not respect boundaries and seek any opportunities to spread your POV regardless of the topic.
Find a running thread I injected politics into. I'd love to see it.

Find a running thread I injected politics into. I'd love to see it.
You're the only person in this thread arguing that the level of political drivel on Letsrun is appropriate. It's pretty easy to surmise that you enjoy it. Why even take this stance? It's a gd running website. Talk about running and the sport of track and field. There are more than enough other forums for political talk.

You enjoy living in an echo chamber. Some people don't.
I use the running threads all the time. Of course I have to use an anonymous handle because some people are absolutely incapable of being civil to anyone they disagree with.

The problem people have with you is NOT that we may disagree with you. It is that you are so disagreeable. Nobody likes you. Maybe in real life they may like you but you play an insufferable fool here.

This is a good example for why we need less political posts. These guys are arguing about people arguing about politics. It doesn't get any more ridiculous than that lol

Please ask Dr. Maria Jose Martinez Patino to write a guest column on the issue of athletes with DSD. It has been a decade since Joanna Harper wrote the column below and a lot of things have changed since then. I also think Dr. Martinez Patino is a more relevant person to comment on this issue than Harper.

I'm only disagreeable to people who are disagreeable to me.

Find a running thread I injected politics into. I'd love to see it.
You injected it into THIS thread, you unbelievable moron. Every thread is like this. Everyone hates your contributions, no one wants you here. It's non-stop right-wing garbage, filtered through whatever white grievance, replacement theory nonsense you've been reading.
You are the problem everyone complains about. You want to make LR better for everyone in 2024? Throw your laptop into the river.

I didn't inject anything that 45877 kid did and I responded to it.
His post was so racist and antagonist it was deleted.
If you can't handle being disagreed with without breaking into a teary eyed rage and wanting people banned or silenced the problem is you.

Why won't people follow instructions? Post running threads on the RUNNING BOARD. Post all other drivel (within reason) and fight out your cultural wars on the NON-RUNNING BOARD. Problem solved.

All the people talking about Letsrun dying without political content --- do you not know about other forums? Reddit, 4chan, etc. Those have anything you're interested in and you don't have to see stuff you want.
There's not another running website that regularly posts content, has forums, or as much participation on them.
I genuinely believe it's in Letsrun's best interest to be apolitical. Otherwise, there's a risk some other forum (reddit/4chan) eats into the viewership, the boards get way right wing, and fewer and fewer people show up until it's fully an echo chamber.43 -

CORRECT!
But not just an insufferable fool. An insufferable fool who is also arrogant, flat out nasty, and pretty much the definition of an A-hole.

...which is basically every single person on these boards.
Hmmm . . . I wonder where the problem lies.
