This forum has a long standing policy of no political comments or threads at all unless they pertain directly to the 2nd Amendment and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Lately there have been a few such threads and/or comments creeping in from members, both from new and some from those of long standing - who should know better.
There are many, many, forums which allow such commenting, indeed encourage it, in order to drive traffic to their servers. We do not. If you really cannot do without political discussion, we suggest investigating these other forums.
We strive to keep this forum as a haven, free of the constant drumbeat of hysteria generated by the MSM and the wall to wall lying by all political sides. We are not burying our heads in the sand, but there should be some places we can escape the universal gloom for short periods.
I and the other mods and admins will be removing posts and comments that contain any political material from now on. Persistent offenders will receive appropriate sanctions if they fail to take the hint. So, if your post vanishes without warning, consider what you posted that may have caused it to disappear.
Remember, the 1st Amendment does not apply in private forums, so no bleating about 'censorship' or 'freedom of speech' please.
It bears repeating: The staff of this forum reserve the right to remove, edit, reject, or otherwise deal with posts at any time, in any way, at their complete discretion and are not obligated to explain their actions in this regard.
All the rules for the forum are contained in the 'Important Information' and 'New Members' forums. If you're a little rusty, please refresh your understanding.
Thank you all for your attention.
Ps. I've noticed a few transgressions of the 'No Profanity' rule recently, and we will also be enforcing this rule more consistently.
