Politics here in Cafe Saxophone?

[bobstad]

Hello,
We are new here, looking for a saxophonist website that allows political discussion?

 

[Pete Effamy]

Why? Do saxophonists have a particularly interesting and different slant on politics?

They’re not allowed here, btw

 

[Jeanette]

Sorry as @Pete Effamy says we don't allow political discussion here.

Jx

 

[Pete Thomas]

This is not one of those websites. We tried it once re: Brexit and it didnt go well. SOTW also tried it once when Mr Obama was elected and that didn’t go well either.

 

[Jimmymack]

On a focused site it just gets in the way. There are political sites and stuff for that.

Good question.

Maybe it's because swing states have been in the news a lot recently?

"Swing"! Geddit?!
Oh please ya self.

There are other sites that cater to political and philosophical discussions, and even there seems difficult to properly moderate, as some lack proper manners and an inability to civily discuss, resorting to insults, taunts, outbursts, and etc.

I enjoy the Café as it lacks such. (Although we do have a few curmudgeons, but they are good of heart. 😉 )

There’s enough controversy here about stuff that actually matters. I like that politics aren’t allowed.

 

[PigSquealer]

Ugg, We ? Thanks I’ll pass.

 

[Pete Effamy]

All other groups have been canvassed. We’re last on the list folks, but make your saxophone vote count.

The answer is yes, I vote for the saxophone!

And no discussing religion, thank ****.



And no cussin'

Reading the 'comments' below items, when allowed, on other sites such as the news can be quite entertaining as they degenerate into a level somewhere below a children's playground or behind a pub.
On occasion humour might also break out until suppressed by those with none.

This is a religion

Only when discussing trinitarian doctrine: the ii V I
People who;
- always paly the 7
- only play the 7 on special occasions
- like a 13
- allow substitution
- believe the iiVI is just a chord progression
- only play rhythm changes!
- esoteric atonality
- ...
We'll never be unified.

No politic on CS is fine. I use my RockSax house for local politic questions.

Meaning that you follow it for your whole life unless you choose to denounce it.
Frequently question it.
Search within yourself to be better
Etc
It’s a grim religion. Apart from the occasional Hallelujah. 😩🙄

I've been looking for a banjo forum that allows saxophone discussions. No luck.

 

[Woodpad]

And yet people discuss the Banjo here

Do any of you ever read the Musical Instrument Jokes?

There are disparaging jokes for every instrument...Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, Percussion, and Keyboards. NOBODY ESCAPES RIDICULE! Example: Q: What's the difference between a power lawnmower and a Tenor Sax? A: You can tune the lawnmower, and the neighbors would like it returned. Q: What...
