Oh I have'nt ignored them. its just over the last 2 decades those 55 E-Votes have gone for Dumocrats and probably will for quite some time!!
Ron Paul has strong crossover appeal because of his stances on militarism, drug laws, gay marriage and a few other areas.
Well, since the boards owner has already said that politics are now not allowed, what did you expect?

Their board, their rules. They are allowed to censor whomever they like. I posted that thread, but respect their right to do so...not that I have to agree of course.
(sigh) It is NOT "censorship" my friend. They posted that political threads were no longer allowed. You opted to ignore it and post anyway. On MANY boards, that would've earned you a ban - but all they did was lock the thread. Obviously, you chose NOT to respect their rules.

Sorry, but I hadn't been on the website in a few weeks and was unaware of the politics ban, otherwise I would have certainly respected the rules in the first place. Anyone coming on a website of this type is a guest and subject to the website owners rule, which again I respect. Honest mistake.
And under the definition of censorship, it is. Censor - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Censorship, like many other words cannibalized by the masses, is automatically thought of as dirty. The topic was censored, but again, the attendees of this website are allowed to participate here at the discretion of the site owners. It's their god given right to censor any topic they find objectionable or against their liking.

Censorship is applied in the realm of "free speech" - this is a privately-owned forum. Therefore, it's not censorship.

You are right sir, I stand corrected. It's discrimination. But again, not in the bad sense others think of. Enough said. I meant no harm.
No....discrimination is selecting one over another for personal reasons, generally racially oriented. In this instance, it's "NO" politics, regardless of party affiliation - and it happens to be one I agree with. I've seen two many friendships destroyed over sex, politics and/or religion - usually because folks have forgotten how to respect anothers' opinion, even if they disagree with it.
Be that as it may, our host has asked that we not do it. As guests in HIS home, we are honor-bound to respect it without comment - or leave. Please note that NONE of what I've written has bene directed AT you, but rather to counter your words - and there IS a huge difference!

Here I respectfully disagree with you. Discrimination, in the technical sense, can be for anything. In fact, it was a good thing before the liberals hijacked the word. It used to be a good thing to be discriminating. We all discriminate, and rightfully so. We are discriminating in who we hang out with, who we date, what tastes we have. In this case, as a private website, the owners are acting in a discriminating manner toward people that apparently can't have mature, objective, political discussions without name calling and bugging the moderators that police the site.
So, again, it is discrimination in the technical sense. Not in the mainstream hijacked sense. And I too, as well, don't direct any of my thoughts toward you personally. Just here to enjoy this excellent website like everyone else!
In THAT case, let's jest make fun of Sterling!!!!!!
