I have idea to solve the issues with the Paddock - a technological solution.
1) I can create sub forums (rooms) within the Paddock - i.e. Joke Room, the Rumor Mill, Military and Veterans, Guns and Ammo, and other rooms including say - The Elephant Bar for the GOP, the Donkey Kong for Dems, Doctors and Lawyers, Kids These Days, Theology, etc - get it - various rooms. Tell what rooms you want.
2) THEN - I think I can make the Paddock a secondary log-in - so that it just doesn't show up when you visit the site and view today's posts or new posts - it remains hidden until you go to the Paddock and log-in. That way, if you don't want to see the Paddock you won't. If you want to enter the fray - you can log in to it.
This way we don't impede anyone's speech, and we don't expose anyone who may otherwise may wish to avoid The Paddock. What do you guys think?
