Now that I made my point can a moderator please close or even delete this thread?

It is my understanding the OP can delete there own post. via changing the title and/or removing what they wrote before, Repliers start "quoting " them. and post --->delete.

I think a couple of us who don't like religious/political discussion on a MS forum got it, but unless the moderator deletes the thread and the other thread, I won't believe you made your point with the overall forum membership or with the mods, bgriffin. kudos, though, for editing so the troll won't come in and use your joke to poke at this thread and get a fire going here, too. Or, maybe she will.

Is it just "don't like" or is it not allowed? I left for awhile because a mod was deleting posts that didn't agree with her point of view, but leaving up those that did. The rules (are they actually rules?) have to be applied evenly.

Wondering why this did not get removed? I reported it and know that at least one other person did. Why would it stay? Mods on vacation, or is there a problem again? I thought that mod was relieved of her duties.

Not sure who "the troll" is. I thought she got banned.

I actually reported my own post and it's still up. I'm guessing because I deleted the title and contents since I had made my point. I agree rules should be applied evenly. I've complained about posts that I absolutely 100% agree with because of that. Jacob did not make a rule of no politics or religion, but in the 4 years I've been here every time someone brings up politics or religion people have stepped in and stated the forum as a whole has agreed not to discuss those topics. That normally works except for the occasional @#$%& that just won't quit.

i dont follow every thread on this forum. ive heard about your recent attacks in many threads in past week. surprised u have so much free time on the road.

August 28, 2017 04:06AM

I am not on the road. Perhaps you are imagining things or it's just wishful thinking. But yes, I tend to schedule a lot of free time on my routes.

As far as I know, politics and religion are topics that are considered as protected speech. If there is no formalized rule or other effective mechanism for banning those topics, we can discuss politics and religion here. We usually get into cyberwars when that happens.

I do not know what bgriffin was intending to accomplish with his opening post. If he was trying to implicate another member, that would be different than simply posting a thread that could become political, religious, or include additional topics and remain civil.

August 28, 2017 02:06PM

"Protected speech" refers to speech that the government must not restrict, under the US constitution. So, parade permits are issued to even hate groups because their speech/ideas cannot be barred from a space controlled by a government entity. However, that is NOT the case with forums. It has nothing to do with other entities, such as a forum, restricting the topics that are permitted. Note that FB, many blogs and social networks have begun to limit Nazi posts, access by terrorist groups of all kinds, etc.

So, unless/until Jacob J decides to establish a formal rule that bans political and religious speech from this forum, we can discuss it here. (I am not advocating that we do so. I just want it to be clear that technically, we can talk about those things here-- for now.)

I started an obvious troll thread about a very polarizing political topic and even though it was an obvious troll thread it still only took 8 minutes for someone to post a reply. That's what happens when people discuss politics on a forum that is not about politics.

Not just those, but any topic they want. Try posting something negative about moslems on FB or anything about the DNC staffer Seth Rich on Twatter and they'll disappear almost immediately. They are privately owned sites and they set their own rules, not caring about free speech, especially when it does not fit Suckerberg's point of view.

I was confused when YT took down some of Pewdiepie's stuff and demonetized others. He's a GAMER. Makes you wonder what's next.
