Not to intrude, but I feel I must clarify myself here. While scrolling through "Random Pics" i found a post that "bothered" me. It was a post about "Bushisms" and accompanying photos that I felt were out of line. We get it- not everyone likes the guy. I can't say that I really do. I responded with a "paste job" on Obamaisms. Can't say I like him either. No comment just the paste. I was then attacked. If I'm in the wrong, what about the original poster?
Second, i pasted an article I found interesting about the Secession of Texas. Again, no commentary. The thread wad closed, and then reposted by Gene. That thread was closed, with a comment from Thomas that was quoted above. Remembering the "Thailand Troubles" thread (hope you are safe Thomas), I posted a giant HMMMMM in that thread.
I come here because there are people here who love their Yarii and want to talk about them intelligently. There are also people here who want to have an intelligent discussion on other issues, including politics.
I have not started an inflammatory thread based on politics, but I will not fail to answer an uninformed insult. I will defend My Country, and I will stand up for my beliefs. If a thread erodes to childish insults, personal or otherwise, it should be closed, as it is an attack. If a thread contains intelligent political discussion, whether it is agreeable to the current political situation or not, it should be allowed to thrive. Not everyone agrees, when done politely it is dissent. It is the foundation of all freedom loving people around the world. When dissent is not allowed it is censorship, plain and simple.
