TwoTone Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Rule 6 of the Forum... [6] - Any discussions regarding politics and/or religion in anyway will be closed or deleted unless determined to be pertinent by admins/mods. The reason for this Rule is quite obvious... So when your Loop goes missing, you'll know why and won't have to ask... Thanks Gang, Double T . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 There is a reason that i have stayed out of these - used to dive in - back during 05, 06 - but, its Futile - and can cause needless bickering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 2 things I try to avoid talking about amongst friends, family and co-workers; politics and religion. I know where I stand, and that's all that matters to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 There is an excellent forum where politics and religion are often discussed. It is located here: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/ Yup - no moderation in that forum. If you separate two fighting children they will harbor anger and resentment against their fellow. Let them fight it out until they are covered in mud and blood and often they will become the best of friends. I have seen (and participated in) some nasty brawls over there. I myself have been abusive to others. But there is considerable more merit in coming to that realization on my own and apologizing humbly, and from the heart, than in doing so under a threat of banning. And on the whole, there is less sniping and petty bickering there than in many other forums. Members should respect the rules of each forum they post in. But less oversight does not make RWG1 a worse forum - just different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedo Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 So does this mean I could get banned for starting a topic titled 'I believe I am God, and am running for president of Cuba'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 But how can that be? Everyone knows it is RobbieG who is the one TRUTH. Follow me as your one God and I will set you free my children. Drink from my tubular grail and... Oh, and not ever discussing Cuba is basically a law in South Florida...

Only discussing normalization of relations is against the law. The rest the Anglo minority has learned to live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I thought South Florida was Cuba... . Nooo, Miami is Cuba - but with regularly available produce The rest of south florida is not that bad. wait, my kid is half cuban and, there are only laws against speech on cuba in Miami - Broward county is THE most liberal county in the country (even more than san Fransisco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 And thanks to Two-Tone and our other excellent moderators for being on top of this. I know of other forums which are completely crippled at this point by the zealots. Get a watch and get a life. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 so... i guess that would include not talking about Obama's Momma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 so... i guess that would include not talking about Obama's Momma? Funny you mention that Dave... Because that was one of the two Loops that we received reports on... However, I have moved both Loops to the Bin... So you guys have it... But remember - It is the Bin... So no whining ... TT .

archibald Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 On Edit: I urge my fellow RWGers to follow all rules faithfully at all times. I also urge them to vote for their favorite candidate in Novemeber, regardess of that candidate's state of sanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Since the overwhelming majority of American RWGers, who I love like brothers each and every one BTW, are right-wing, bush-apologist, Rove kool-aid drinking, Rushbot cranks, I wholeheartedly endorse this rule. Starting......Vote Obama/Biden 08!!! Change We can Believe in!!!....now. I could easily edit this... But I won't... Maybe... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) It's back and you all know what I am talking about and I am a Republican. Keep this place clean of that stuff, I have to deal with this on a daily basis, this place is a refuge. And you should edit it Two Tone, the rules are rules.

BTW, you didn't need to tell us which party you belong to. Your post was, by your reading of the rules which are rules, a violation of both Rule #6 and your own refugee status, but also completely obvious by the use of the phrase "rules are rules."

patinga Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Archibald: First, I agree with you 100% that you should vote regardless of whom you vote for. It is important. Second, I hear both sides every single frickin day and actually would be more advantageous for my business to support one group over the other. You and I both know that this election is probably going to get A LOT uglier before November and that is a shame. But in here, I don't care. I just want to relax and learn about this hobby from all the gifted people that posses amazing talents. So yes, rules are rules and I happen to believe in them.
