Very timely. Thanks for the share.

Yeah I guess it probably would be a hopeless cause splitting it off to a different site.

The people here with PPs who don't like VP investing aren't complaining that there is a VP section. I, for one, simply turned that section off. I don't want to leave because a few folks want to talk about non PP investing. So why then have so many people left? Why have so many people voted "ye...

I happened to glance at the OP's (pmward's) user profile just now and noticed that he's been a member since Jan 2019 and managed to stay away from the political threads almost completely until Nov 12 when he posted in the Politics sub-forum for the first time. That was less than three weeks ago . I...

Okay, so I find it very convenient that this poll was started this morning and within a last few days we've had several new forum accounts registered. And maybe those new posters are responding to our poll. Are Bogleheads intentionally coming here, registering for accounts just to tamper with our p...

Not at all. And what does my weight have to do with the discussion?

Well, why when there is a car accident on the freeway to people slow down to look as they pass by? It's basically impossible to ignore it, whether or not you get notifications. Your suggestion was to split the forum off into a separate gyroscopicpolitics forum on a different domain. Wouldn't you st...

I don't understand. The whole point of the politics subforum was to keep politics separate from the rest of the site's content. As far as I can see it's been very successful so far. If you don't like the political content, then just don't browse this area? ??? I personally just don't see that there...

Guys, investments don't care about politics. Regardless who winds up in the White House Jan 20... Stocks got likely another 1-2 years left of it's secular bull market. They likely will start their next secular bear market at some point in the next term. Gold is likely to up. It's early on in a new s...

It's like... unusually large amounts of votes for Biden happened in urban Philadelphia and Detroit... water is wet. It's not necessarily an anomaly. It's not necessarily not an anomaly either. But either way, the if voting is not equal random chance, and if we do not know in advance what the actual ...

At what point will you admit that Biden rightfully won? If supreme court hears the case? Or has that court been compromised as well. I'm just trying to gauge whether there is any amount of evidence that will be persuasive enough for you to dismiss fraud claims. There are still people who believe th...

People are banned all the time on Internet forums. I don't think my comment was controversial. I wasn't referring to a specific person that I thought should be banned, so I apologize if it came across that way. Group A wants people to have freedom to choose their actions and take responsibility for...

I miss the days when we could actually debate things here without being told by Tech that anyone that doesn't support Trump is a communist (as he alluded to in this very thread earlier this morning). Half the time I hear Trump talk he sounds like a communist! ;D Since it's only half the time.....le...

Group B wants the admins (government) to prohibit certain behaviors and take no responsibility for their choices. They want the responsibility to lie with a small group of people and ban (imprison) people that break the rules they want instituted. Show me one place anyone has suggested banning peop...

To be fair, I agree the Bogleheads forum is ridiculous. I'm not suggesting that. These are not binary choices. It doesn't have to be one or the other. There is a WIDE gap in between the two. I find your statement to be apropos to the political discourse libertarians have with leftists. Whereby libe...

Bogleheads forum has some good info but I stopped going there because of how ridiculous the moderation is. Reminds me of an HOA board who started an investing forum. “What is your guys end of year tax planning moves with Biden appearing to be the new president?” Thread locked. Political discussion ...

And if you don't split the politics off to a separate forum, and you want this to continue to be an investing forum only for the alt-right pro-Trumpers please at least have the courtesy to let us all know so we can quit wasting our time here and find somewhere else to go that isn't going to be host...

Several years ago when I started investing in these models, I had a little difficulty getting over a mental hurdle that I had with following the directive of the model and going 100% into something if I felt the market was currently overvalued. Others may or may not have this or other hangups. I've...
