Going to agree with both points. :thumb:

I certainly was. But it was, and is, in DC where it belongs.

Doesn't really matter. It's settled policy that religious/political topics are not posted in the lounge.

Is there a reason people can't just ignore the threads they don't like? I don't click on the majority of threads that are posted in the lounge, and open the ones I am interested in. Seems to work well.

I see your join date is August of 2005. This means you weren't here in the fall of 2004 when 2/3rds of the front page was political threads, constantly, right in the middle of football season. That's the reason the DC forum was created in the first place.

These people must be contained. It's as simple as that.

Fair enough.

Has there been some huge influx of political/religious threads recently that caused you to start this thread? Maybe I've just missed them, since, like I said I ignore threads I don't want to open. I typically never see more than one thread at a time on the front page of the lounge that I would imagine is a political or religious thread though.

Yes, there has been. Perhaps one of the mods could site examples. Once a thread gets moved to DC from the main forum, there's no way that I know of to search for it.

No, who are you the government ? Seriously, If I'm at work and I make a mistake, so what. What big fine or tax dollars am I costing CP ?

Lighten up Francis , err Frazod ! :D

I understand the concern, it was a great move. If it happens over and over,OK. But now and then when it's a simple mistake, no. It's how I feel, nobody here is perfect .

ROFL

We don't agree on too many topics or comments, but I liked that one.

The fact that you admit posting a political thread in the main forum is a "mistake" probably means that I'm not talking about you, doesn't it? :shake:

I've always resented the formation of the DC forum, but I've also respected the rules and I've never started a political thread in the Lounge since the split.

LMAO You must have studied lying under the same master who taught my ex-wife.
