looks worse than it actually is, plenty on that section of the forum would have no problems having a beer with those from the opposite side.

if they did I would be wayyyyyyyyyy up there. I think I still hold the record for most liked post.
I'd have a beer with you. Except that I don't drink beer. And I've never really been sure which side you were on.
And without his even providing any new recipes for Mexican food. For shame!
nm @jkcerda we have an actual taco truck cruising around the Catskills now. Not sure how authentic the fare is but apparently it's quite popular.
ummmmm tacos.
extreme left in conservative forums (how dare I support equal marriage, pot legalization and a woman's right to chose) and guessing far right here due to my views on the 2nd.I'd have a beer with you. Except that I don't drink beer. And I've never really been sure which side you were on.
oh and I also don't drink beer unless the FIL is feeling lonely and needs some company, got to say probably had a total of two beers this year?thank you
My Mexican wife has a recipe for that…it's just getting her to make them on Tuesdays.
Stop that! You have enough likes already!!!!
So your main reason for positing is just to garner a higher post count, I find that hard to believe.
The fact that posts in the PRSI section don't even count toward your post count is indicative that political discussion was never envisioned as the main purpose of this site. Rather, it was added as a way to enable more active forum members to discuss something that isn't related to Apple products, if they so choose. And you can of course choose to completely ignore that part of the forum.
I do agree that these days heavy partisanship is an issue and common sense, logic, or decency is lacking in most places where political discussion takes place.
Nah, if that was my sole intention I'd be responding to every post.So your main reason for positing is just to garner a higher post count, I find that hard to believe.
The main reason I post in other places on MacRumors is to help others (if I can) and contribute where I can. The PRSI forums are different. It's all about opinion and you don't get any credit for that. So, that's my main reason for not posting there.
Why not? A post is a post.

You'd have to ask the mods why the posts don't count.
As to why I don't post in PRSI even though it doesn't count, well PRSI is opinion based. The idea is to express your opinion on a topic, defend your position and argue your points. It's not about helping others or contributing to a solution (although that may happen sometimes).
I know what I believe and it's unlikely to change. I'd either be posting to have my opinion validated by others or to get into an argument with someone whose opinion is ALSO not going to change.
I'm okay with discussions in forums, even discussions where both people are firm. I'm not into arguments, particularly when those arguments lead to new aditions to my ignore list. This often drives me to rage, which is an all too frequent visitor throughout my life. I'd rather not invite it.
That's why.
I admit I do post in PRSI, but I find it more enjoyable posting in the regular tech forums. I personally wouldn't miss the forum if MacRumors got rid of it.
I just need to go to work for that - as long as the one person I truly loathe at work is there.
Sounds like a good PRSI post once you can post there.
LOL, well she'd be a case study for sure. Start with the word "pathological" and go from there.
But as much as I disdain her and have mentioned her from time to time, I work for a small company (less than 10 people) and I value my job. So, an entire thread with pages of responses is not in the cards.
The PRSI forum was added to keep PRSI discussion out of the main forums as the majority of our members don’t want to read about it while they are browsing a tech site.
Same here.You'd have to ask the mods why the posts don't count.

Quite right to! Plus it helps the mods know where to go to sort out the name calling etc!
Heh, and as of now you have 15,002 posts just in PRSI.
Yes but the forum is still MacRumors forum and PRSI is about the farthest thing from tech in general and Macs in particular... unless Tim Cook has opined on something, anything, even including Macs or tech or heck the weather in Cupertino.
So I get why PRSI posts don't count, even before having a good look at a few of them: c'mon, we'd have to have a scale from -10 to at least a 4.
Anyway imagine the stress on the counting module having to make all those adjustments for, um... moderation.
NB: I have not meant to politicize this thread by dropping a certain name...
Click on your own profile and go to 'profile page'. One of the tags there - the one on the right - reads 'areas' and this gives a break-down of your own posts, what 'areas' you have posted in, and how many posts you have made in each area.
Yeah we need you to anchor the thing else it might float away by November.
I should leave now before I'm invited to leave. Back to the garden and the war on woodchucks and assorted winged or crawling veggie nibblers.
