I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meanin' of true love
I'm leanin' on the everlasting arms
If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breakin' down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me oh
If I can see it then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me runnin' through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Hey 'cuz I believe in me
If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me runnin' through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Hey if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly eye, eye

I believe it's getting to be about that point where I consider taking a break from Paizo....again.
I believe there are other spots to hang, friend zombeh. I'll even toss a extra medulla oblongata on the barbie for you. Do what you must, but don't let the trolls get you down (I know, from me even ..)

I believe it's going to get even worse the closer we get to a certain event that happens in late 2012.
Meh. I believe trolls will be trolls. Who shives a git what they think, what they say, what they care about. I sure don't. I know what I'll be doing at that point, and I believe that 1-20-2013 will be a happy day indeed =)

I believe I am popping in to say hello quickly.
I believe that the current trend of evil/broken/polititroll threads have made the forum poisonous.
I believe that although the moderators and staff of Paizo are proud of their allowing of political posting, that their assumptions of basic member civility are based on a much smaller membership from three years ago.
I believe that if these threads are not contained, either with a separate subforum, or a complete ban, that by the time the 2012 election rolls around there will be a huge outpouring of venomous crap, flowing over the boards in a tidal wave of bile.
I believe that this will be very counterproductive to Paizo as a company, especially with the looming release of the Basic game and the inevitable influx of web-savvy children to the site.
I believe that even a grizzled old board member like myself is seriously pondering cutting ties and walking away at this point. I may be alone in this, but somehow, I don't think so.
I believe I will spend a little more time away from the computer and ponder my descision at this point. Until later folks..

I believe you are definitely not alone. However, I also believe that I am loathe to let the trolls win.

Seconded on all counts. At this point, the only reason I even come back to the forums on a regular basis are FAWTL and the Z-Day PbP. And at this point, I don't really see myself using the forums any more than I do now.

Now they're saying slowing and trajectory will likely make it not help N. TX. :(

You need to get everyone in N Texas to have picnics, wash their cars, head to the beaches, and leave their windows down. That has to antagonize the storm, right?

I believe I wouldn't say poisonous, but definitely somewhat annoying.

I believe you are correct sir. However, I also believe the 2008 election season was pretty rough, so I'm not sure it will be much worse than that point.

I believe that would be a shame. But I also believe one should do what one feels is best; sometimes a breather is needed.

I believe that sucks. I also believe you should go anyway. Sabotage the sabotage!!! ;)
be sure to sit through the credits ... as if that is something anyone needs to be told anymore, especially with the Marvel films

I believe I have a 3.5 game tonight and a Pathfinder game tomorrow.
I believe I have to take three dogs to the vet tomorrow morning before the game.
I believe I also have a little work I will need to get done this weekend as well ... at some point. I believe once it is done, it will be ready for publishing.
I believe I will be lacking sleep come Monday.

I believe this is eye of the beholder stuff. I usually shrug it of, but attacks I take personally that don't debate subjects but rather demean the holders of opposing beliefs...yeah that pisses me off.

I believe the 2008 season was but a small foretaste of what will occur over the next 15 months. I might be wrong, but that's where my money is bet. I hate to be all Cassandra about this, but the current political posting atmosphere before the first Iowan Caucus gets underway, well it seriously doesn't bode well.

I believe I wont walk away. After a week of disconnect, I am feeling calmer. I will try to use focus and not click on anything strange, even new 'fun' threads. Maybe I'll look into that Greasemonkey script. There are a few weasel trolls I'd love to ignore right about now. Maybe the amount of slime and crap bubbling up will eventually force a moderator descision on political posting, but we shall see.

I believe you were correct and that is now a nice, albeit hot, Saturday afternoon.

I believe you may be correct. I also believe that the Flags will be flying come the political vitriol that will inevitably make it one the boards. And I further believe the PMG will act as quickly as possible to reign in the nonsense. Hopefully, it will suffice.
I also believe that a flag will be a better response than a pointed response to politrolls.

I believe I will welcome you back. :) And I believe Greasemonkey is a nice script for what you are looking for.
