If you want to talk politics, DON'T do it here!!

Please honor the board's rules by not diving head-long into R/S/P territory. There already is a separate board setup for those of us who want to discuss such issues AWAY from here, Link to board.

This site was specifically created as a relief-valve for us here so politics wouldn't be talked about on BITOG, thus honoring the owner's requests.

Moderator's, please sticky this topic for a few days. Hopefully people will read this and refrain from posting here.

It's an emotional day for a lot of people so I don't think anyone should be punished (banned) because of political threads earlier today.

Timely reminder. Good relief valve, and hopefully the hoopla has died down anyway. Thanks.

I wouldn't say once in a lifetime, the others most certainly.

Yea, and some people seem utterly oblivious to it.

Here's my take, AGAIN. There's been a political discussion here ever since it was "banned", but only of one persuasion. The instant someone overtly talks from the other side, people like TNS get up in arms.

What I see is censorship. But hey, I don't own this board and there's no such thing as free speech in a private setting.

TNS, I don't see you getting up in arms when someone bashes Obama.

The first African American elected president after a storied American history of racial violence, in which we had one of the bloodiest civil wars in history?

This is once in a few centuries.

Guys, please honor the board's owners... Talk about R/S/P THERE, not here...k?


Thanks,

Nothing to do with politics, but just wondering, why does everyone consider him African American? He's only half African American.

Unbelievable.
