Delete,

Should have just left it up to CW or Jamo. Just did not want an explosion.

I actually had posted a link to the "no political threads" sticky but thought better of it and decided to back off and let CW and Jamo do their thing.

I have been blasted too many times for voicing my opinion. Though it to be better to just STFU.

We tolerate discussing religion, moral and ethical issues but politics is out. Why is that? Seems it would work fine so long as there is a hard line taken on moderating personal attacks of posters and political figures and or groups.

I thought we gave up discussing all of that stuff a long time ago. If you want to discuss non-Cobra related subjects, you might find facebook to be more fun.

There is a sticky in the Lounge area concerning this subject. I'll just leave it at that.

Default America

It is our God given right as Americans to judge, critisize and condemn any person or collective group of people who do not conduct themselves exactly like we do or for not acting exactly like we want them to.

There you go not separating church and state. I think it is OK to discuss religion, but not politics. You are most likely going to get this thread closed unless you stick to religion.

Been watching this thread from the beginning. Obviously, you folks are aware of the guidelines because you're discussing them.

Changing the guidelines is simply not open for discussion. That decision was reached by the owner after watching Ron and I trying to herd cats in here...for years. We were spending the vast majority of our moderating time dealing with political threads. Not fair to us, certainly, but also not fair to the majority of members who simply could not get our assistence in posting pics, editing threads on other discussions and the like.

I love politics...I usually found myself embroiled in the same discussions/arguments as many of you. I have found more than enough other outlets for such discussions. Some of us even have another site where we spend hour after hour hating each other about politics, simply because we don't like us either.

Thanks for keeping the discussion a discussion.

Nobody here is discussing politics. We're discussing our ability to discuss politics. Why is this not open for discussion?

I find it pretty simple...

At your house your wife makes the rules,just guessing here,and if you or anybody else don't like the rules....leave.

This is Brent's House......goes the same way here as at your house.

Jamo already explained why Brent made this rule.

BTW - I was one of the people that caused the rule.

I've been widowed for ten years now. My girls were 9 and 12 when their mother passed and I raised them on my own so **** OFF! you lowly piece of sh!t.

It amazes me how posters balls grow exponentially when they hide behind a PC.

Indeed they do.

In an earlier post, you suggested that moderators take a "hard line taken on moderating personal attacks of posters."

I assolutely agree with you. Take a couple of weeks off.
