Reading some of the messages and emails I have received I wanted to bring attention to the fact that posts are going past reasonable. It is one thing to call a poster a racist, it is another to state they have committed an act of treason, or is a treasoner. Treason is a serious crime and should not be used lightly, or rather at all. Accusing someone of treason has its consequences and posters can be held responsible if someone files a formal complaint (i.e. lawsuit) against them. Since nobody on this board knows who anybody else is, posters should not be accusing them of anything. No person in America should ever have their patriotism or loyalties questioned or be told they've committed treason which can carry a penalty of life imprisonment. all because they don't agree with what someone else agrees with.
Now the subject of my editing/deleting posts. I've made it clear in the past that I am not going to hold back anyones right to freedom of expression. If you have something you want to say or post that is what the board is for. People need to develop a thick skin. Personal attacks are deleted/edited. Swear words are deleted. Opinions are not. If posters want to me to start deleting out "racist", then I will have to delete out "hater" "anyone with half a brain" "lie" "winger" "not credible", etc, etc. I've asked posters to stop iwth personal insults. That lasts for about 4 hours. I will continue to edit offending posts, but just be aware that if you report messages if insults came before that I will also edit those posts.
Its understandable with the elections coming up emotions are going to run high. Please just think before you post something. If you are about to insult someone ask yourself if you want to be called that. Better yet, take a deep breath and step away for 5 minutes and then come back. Nothing is worth the consequences of posting something you shouldn't. And stop questionsing any posters patriotism or loyalties. Nobodoy knows who anyone is here and therefore do not know whther or not someone is a patriot, but please don't say something that could wind up in being banned or having a lawsuit for slander filed against you.
