My question was then, why was the political thread that started all the blow hards even allowed. IMO the thread should have been wiped from the board. If ya want to talk the talk, take it to a forum that caters to it. Most of the other forums I belong to will not allow politics as a discussion in any form. They're wiped as soon as they start.
as we dont have any "banned" topics, we try to keep it nice...we usually edit or delete bad stuff....if kept 'low profile' a nice discussion can happen....as long as the involved parties keep it on a discussion level rather than name calling....we have always prided ourselves on behaving better than many on PY...but it takes adults to behave....
the rules are set by the board owner, we admins just keep the rules adhered to....
as you guys most likely know there HAS been a few (very few) bannings from this site....and Jim left on his own accord ,he was not banned....
