i closed it b/c these types of threads aren't even allowed. i have leeway in what i can allow.
you can call me a proggie what not. but like it or not i volunteered to be a mod and i'll do the job as best i can
it's the politics section. you can talk about the politicians all you want.
call me a derelict?? THREAD CLOSED.
I did not call you a derelict, and the OP of the thread you have since deleted did not specifically do so as I recall.
Political speech is protected for a very good reason.
Now you have volunteered for, and received, censorship power over the rest of us.
And now you choose to dismiss my legitimate concerns.
You once called me a tax evader because I chose to leave the economy and return to school full-time to learn a new skill-set.
Did I tattle to the mods? Did I ask that YOUR post be edited?
Nope. I simply shrugged because it was an idiotic statement.
You have been right there in the midst of the name-calling and bickering in the Politics section.
But, as you stated in the DELETED thread. "There is a new Sheriff in town."
A partisan mod in the Political section is a very, very bad idea.
It will chill the debate and drive members who value free speech away. When I say value free speech, I mean ALL OF IT. Not just the speech they agree with.
The OP of the thread you censored has departed as a result of your heavy-handedness.
This is a HUGE problem. If no one else shares my concern, so be it.
