DWhite...Did you personally close the thread started by Sherin, pertaining to political parties and politics in general?

You know I love you more than my luggage, but please don't treat us like four years old. We do not need a time out.

If anyone is offended, they don't need to follow the topic in question. Likewise, if you ignore certain abrasive individuals, they will take notice and go away...

Shame on you for lumping all of the posters on that thread into one category and summarily ending our conversation...I expect better from a moderator!

As mods we all did that. The topic was not closed because of sherin. The topic was closed because it was going into the wrong direction. And we had a lot of people complaining about it. There was more added to that topic to make it offensive. There are several posts on that thread that had to be modded. If too many posts need to be modded we then in most cases will close the whole thread. That means it is going in wrong direction. If you want to start a new thread do that.

These can be easily answered with a quick, person-to-person PM. The assumptions (treated like 4 yr olds) stated are incorrect (DWhite personally did it). The mods discussed it over several days before anything happened. If there was a knee jerk reaction, it would have been back on the 8th when the thread started (and immediately went to name calling).

OK, then, that sounds fair...a person-to-person PM. So, PM me...and everyone else who contributed (positive or negative) to the thread and explain to them precisely why it was being closed.

The fact that posters where treated as juveniles is not an assumption, it is an observation. We may agree to disagree, but rest assured we will continue to disagree.

Additionaly, I did not state that DWhite had personally closed the thread. With the litany of credits in your signature line, I would have expected you to notice the question mark at the end of the sentence...

For the record, it takes a lot to offend me. The name calling and flaming is easy to ignore. Having an entire topic closed is not.

EXACTLY. I thought we were doing pretty good throwing down in that thread. Typical REPUBLICAN RULE. NOT EVEN INVOLVED IN THE DISCUSSION and they just shut it down. Once again, if you don't want to get involved DON'T. NO ONE IS FORCING ANYONE TO READ THAT THREAD. It WAS in SAY WHAT CORRECT?

This site just plain SUCKS cause we got CHILDREN as MODS.

First off I did not trash the thread. But back the person that did and would have done it anyway. Second off we all had agreed to do it. Third Engfant you and I think the same way on things. Don't know if I would put my words our like you do but we believe in the samethings. I do agree with you that mods have to watch what they do. There is no question about it. I don't think we should have the last word either. But if the post is argumentive to the point of name calling then yes it should be trashed. If one posts and question they should get an answer if the answer is going to be argumentive with lewd words several times in the post. The post is of no longer any value. If it is being debated without name calling, sites they may offend people, and in a with respect for the rest it should remain. That post clearly should not be up. I had many PM's from people who did not want the post up.

No WE can't. It's NOT FUN otherwise. Isn't the point to HAVE FUN? I'm not interested in having a serious discussion with people that aren't even on the same level of intellect. People go from milking cow to owning a tanning salon and they think they're in a position to make decisions. PLEASE.

Reminds me of the old saying IT'S NOT GOD I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH...IT'S HIS FAN CLUB I CAN'T F'N STAND
