Today we had our first case of a poster exiting this board because he disagreed with what another poster put on the board. That poster was me. I was respectful toward the poster and he exited this board as if he thought we only cater to one political point of view.
I am the administrator of the board, but there are rules here and even I cannot breach them. So, I won't be arguing with that poster. If you are a new poster I may direct you to this post so that you understand something:
This board was started to get people to engage in productive discourse. No matter what you believe and what you think is right, everybody is given a chance here to express their views. Even if I don't agree with what you say, I will fight to the death for your Right to say it. Just don't go around making unsubstantiated allegations and think you'll be protected. Every viewpoint, including mine, is subject to criticism, accountability, and challenges. Americans are going to have to learn how to agree to disagree. Don't come on this board thinking that someone doesn't have the Right to challenge your position.
You reserve the Right here, as the original poster, to ask fellow posters not to post off topic matter on your thread; however, you cannot answer the off topic portion AND ask us to prevent a poster from responding. Just report the post. If you can't use the Report function, send me a PM with a link to the topic and the post number. I will strive to be fair and if I can't, we're looking for moderators. We will NOT cater to bigotry (left or right), censorship, whizzing contests, trolls, or people picking fights for the sake of disrupting peaceful and productive conversations. This not an echo chamber and if you don't agree with someone here, make your case. Don't come here and make a scene. That is for the other boards on the Internet. We will have order, mutual respect, and point / counterpoint exchanges. And, if you come here looking for a fight, be sure you don't challenge the wrong person. We will make sure that if you pick a fight, you get the opportunity to follow through with it.
We intend to have peaceful and productive exchanges here. We are not going to lock people out whose view might be unpopular. That doesn't mean that you can dominate every category and run everyone else off. It means that you can post your views and PLEASE don't make me have to enable the feature that limits the number of posts you can make per day or week. I'm just as determined to have an accessible forum as the extremists are to having one that caters to one side or another. Here you have an equal opportunity to state your case. Thank You and God Bless.
