When I started talking about the "banned here" subject, I was skirting the political angle for sure.
LOL The bulkhead connector seals, reverse light seals, new hardboard panel for behind the back seat, and uh oh yes, gaskets for the fake hood air intakes.Whatch ya gettn? Huh....Huh....
Sure it can. Someone may easily respond that the reason the service member was killed was because of a needless war or some such stuff. Not a stretch at all. Also - what may not look like political to you, may to others, and that can make them think its ok to go a little further. Then when their post is deleted, they point to the original service member post and say "how come this is ok but mine is not?" --- Its a tough position for us...
Besides all that - why is it such a big deal to post it in the political forum?
Again - why not avoid the whole thing and if its political or near political, just post in the politics forum.

probably misquoted because of the size of the panel. Big, but it hardly weighs anything. Don't recall if I got that from DMT- mine shipped rolled up. They are very fair though and great service. I was missing a couple body gaskets to finish mine a couple years after buying the kit. Told James at Carlisle and the gaskets were in my mailbox a few days later.
Nothing like the cheap shots people slip into posts all the time - and I'm not refering to this thread. I don't really care. If people want to reveal their feelings a bit about these things, so be it. Its a free country. I personally think its more useful to avoid such things - that stuff can get in the way - and isn't persuading anyone anyway.

As I said above, EVERYTHING on this forum can be related to politics if one tries hard enough. And as for the N&P forum... yeah, lots of hatred there.
I'm going to drop the subject here. Its your forum, your rules. I'll follow them, no problems, I just need to know where the line is.

Well The political forum is full of some guys that are very different then I am in my opinion. I Cant go there to fight! And that is all there is it seems. And different opinions are needed! I just dont like having to put up a fight to have mine.
I really enjoy this forum and this thread. PLEASE everyone, just calm down. I will really pissed if it gets messed up any further. But who cares what I think...

yep. You and I are two prime examples. We have two very different points of view, yet we conduct ourselves as friends and have healthy discussions. I don't think any less of you and I'd hope you feel the same.
Considering some of the post removed included an invite to stop by should I visit the desert on my little vacation, kind of makes the lines blurred as to what is censored and what is not. Sad.

I am calm. I'll respect the rules fully. I just want to understand clearly what the rules are so I don't offend them in the future. I don't feel that's a wrong question to ask.I really enjoy this forum and this thread. PLEASE everyone, just calm down. I will really pissed if it gets messed up any further.

Might I point out a little reminder. This is a Car Forum. I am concerned mostly about ensuring automobile related posts. Many people here don't want to read political stuff at all. I accommodate those who want to talk politics by giving you a forum just for that for 2 reasons....
1. So you CAN talk about politics if you want, and
2. So others don't have to be bothered by it.
2. So others don't have to be bothered by it.
The predictive judgment by a moderator is what I'm questioning.
Who is to say my comments about how Philadelphia has one rule (my joke) is leaning to politics? It most certainly was, but it never went there. And if I posted a link to the Featherman video, is that now history or is it politics. I think most people would still find funny and while the conversation could go political, I doubt it would. Not here. Over in the politics forum - IDK it could cause a hailstorm - context would be different and likely taken differently.
Nope, its not wrong.
Trouble is, as I said earlier, some of this doesn't have a hard and fast line to cross.

Because we can usually have a reasonable, intelligent conversation here. Same topic in a political forum will focus on the politics. Which I personally don't give a rat's a__ about.
I just signed up for N&P for the second time to see if anything has changed. First time I was on for a few hours before I hit BS overload...
Your looking for perfection and for absolutes. They don't exist in this kind of situation. Sometimes you can see the fight coming and break it up before it starts.

perhaps, but we've never had a fight over any current event discussion in here EVER.
Well, we can talk about the N&P forum if you like ------ but having another place for politics discussions isn't the answer.
and if I allow those discussions here, it will end up happening here too. We keep it contained in the politics forum for a reason.
Keep in mind. Most forums ban political discussions altogether.

I don't think I've seen anyone in this thread ask for that though? This all started because I stated that my guard unit and myself are waiting to hear if we'll be going to the border. I'm just not understanding how that is political? But it's neither here nor there I suppose, I just don't want to see this thread closed due to stupid, immature and revenge motivated actions. Which is why I ask for a clear line to avoid crossing
I'm sure that is occassionally true. Its still a slippery slope when the rules are expanded ad hoc. That's not asking for perfection.

So just so im understanding, for this thread?
Car talk only, no current/life events even if the poster is one involved? Is that the road we really want to drive down?

Like I said, Im not angry, I'm merely confused and not able to understand what is going to be allowed and what is reportable content now.
