Stolen from plenty of other forums all around the internet, I present the truce that no matter who wins the presidential race, there will be no gloating or angsting until Inaguration Day.

Just to prevent an influx of posts such as "Welp, the terrorists have us now" or "Well shit, there goes America" that might pop up.

how about we go a bit farther and suggest no gloating period?

And...your thing only holds up if we know who the pres is before inaguration

We could agree to make mad libs out of silly arguments!

That would be kickass.

I completely agree there should be no gloating or snide comments after the election, but I highly doubt that'll come to pass.

Well, I can say you'll get no gloating or bitching from me... then again, I don't post much.

With the removal of the Flame tag, there's no possible means of expression for the stuff you wish to avoid, so the whole proposal is pointless.

There is, it'll just be covered up by moderation and a good ol' fashioned banning.

I'm perfectly amenable to this agreement; I'm voting the day after tomorrow; in a swing state, for my candidate. I could have, perhaps, done more to win over votes for my candidate, but it's a tad late now.

I can't wait for the election (and the recount and other assorted bits of fallout) to be over so I don't have to hear the phrase "flip flopper" being tossed about so - dare I say it - liberally On the other hand, it'll probably be ramped up if Kerry wins.

I can't stand the precedent this election is setting. Lawyers looking for "fraud" weeks before voting, being TOLD to raise a stink is not a good way to run things. Also, the UN people overlooking the elections, and people saying we probably won't know the actual winner until way after Nov. 2nd and whatnot, it's all just...

Ugh.

I had already planned on keeping my mouth shut, honestly.

I have no doubt that, should Kerry win, his regime would be a far more effective I-told-you-so statement than any I could make.
