    why are these threads getting closed?

    why are the off the topic political threads getting closed when the debate heats up?
    Come on MK, the whole point is to let off steam, post jokes, ruminate on nonsense.

    why such a firm hand in such a meaningless forum?

    I'm closing anything as soon as A) 1bad starts getting racist and 2) name calling is elevated past anything lighthearted until you guys start playing nice.

    Can you give me an example of this "racism" please?
    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    1bad got racist?

    Hey, we have a long tradition of name calling! I mean come on, it's 1bad for cripes sake!

    At the very least, he now spends his time hanging in here pushing neo-con ideology instead of taunting rudy with his chubby tony gets a fixed contest to ensure he doesn't lose by forcing rudy into playing on the ground video. lol

    come on.

    Locking a few threads got rid of BoulderDawg. You should be thanking me.

    Political discussions are fine. Name calling in jest is fine.

    Some people make a habit of turning discussions on social programs into a soapbox about illegitamacy rates in certain ethnic communities. When that happens, the hammer drops from now on.

    If you don't like it, complain to Gene. I'm just his right hand, afterall.

    OK...

    1. What has 1Bad ever said that is even remotely racist?

    2. Namecalling? You mean like in EVERY OTHER FORUM HERE?


    Seriously, MK... that goes beyond lame. If you cannot enforce a standard across the board, and allow HW108 to rampage throughout the rest of this website, then you haven't a leg to stand on. This is hypocritical and wrong, especially after the big hullaballoo about "we love free speech, but we'll ban you if you say something we don't like, but only if you happen to have a conservative stand on things"

    I'm calling BS, and I'm calling hypocracy...

    Are you suggesting your position makes it impossible for you to do wrong? Because you are doing wrong here.

    I'm still waiting for MK to produce some of these "racist" posts I supposedly made.....

    Looks like I'm not the only one here who needs help finding these "racist" posts you claim I've made.

    I find it peculiar that only those with a conservative viewpoint are the ones getting banned/locked here.

    Did you read what he said? He said welfare was what was causing the problem, not black people. He's conservative... he's going to be against welfare.

    I'm sure if 1Bad called them "darkies", he'd be heralded as a hero of the forum.
