I've stated many times in the past - This board is not for bullying, ganinging up on, or ridiculing other posters. Telling posters their opinions don't matter, their links are not credible, anything they've ever posted in the past can't be taken seriously because of their moniker, their sources, calling posters stupid, etc. Will not be tolerated. I don't care what party you belong to or if you don't belong to any party.
Nobody likes their posts edited or deleted, but when a specific post does not discuss issues, but instead ridicules another poster it will not be tolerated and will be edited/deleted. The left always complain their posts are edited, and I get equal amount of flack from the other side. Moderating is moderating. Nobody should be ridiculled. You can call it anything you want to try and support your opinion, but if you are posting to make fun of a poster it will be removed. If you think that is censorship then find yourselves another board. Most likely the posters you are ridiculing will not miss you. Either way it will not be tolerated.
I have a family and job too. I cannot monitor the board every single hour of the day. I would hope that most of you are adults and can discuss issues without calling others right-winger, trolls, stupid, etc.
I'm telling you it will not be tolerated. If you don't like it then find yourself another board that allows people to attack each other. This board is for discussion of political issues. Nothing more. People are going to have strong opinions about issues, but I will not tolerate posts telling other posters that certain posters are not credible because they read right wing (or left wing) sites and that nothing they ever post can be taken seriously, and all other other insults I have been reading and I'm not going to argue with anyone who wants their insults to be left up.
I'm also not going to remove a post just because someone does not like the issue someone wants to discuss. Everyone's opinion on issues are important if it affects us. If you know that you don't what certain posters write then just skip their posts.
Stop cutting down other posters and then complaining when that insult is edited or removed. Nobody is above anyone here. We are all adults living in this country. We should be proud to live in a country where our opinions can be spoken about. Many countries you cannot do that. A liberals opinion is no more or less important than a conservatives opinion or a liberatarian's opinion or just anyone who does not affliliate with any party. We are all important.
Again, if you cannot remain civiliized towards other posters and only want to ridicule and embarrass then don't post here at all and find another site to go to.

;When answering the posted question "What the heck are some Democrats drinking lately?" Posting this is reason for deletion:
It's hurtful!
I have read (and suggested that others read) the stickies on the top of this board more than once. I figured that if the rules stated there as well as in the TOS were followed, we could say what we wanted... guess not.

No, really, thanks for taking my same thoughts and making them actually coherent.
;)
Hope you get the BB reference!
(mediocre effort to veer back to "political." was hoping for Romney in a tiara.)
I totally missed that "right-winger" is considered a derogatory epithet. So obviously "left-winger" is too then. Don't forget that, folks.
I actually find "libs" the way it's often used here to be condescending and derogatory too, but that's part of why I took "a lib" as a moniker, to reappropriate it from those who would use it as an insult. Almost sorry now that my doing that has left it untouchable.
