Yup. Just another indication by Admin of how much they want us here. Dave claims posting rate has picked up lately. I've started gathering numbers. Not done yet, but so far they say he's lying. Is it a TOU violation to call Admin a liar? If calling your mother a w**** isn't, I can't see why it should be. Let's just declare all political threads free fire zones and be done with the hypocrisy that the TOU apply to them. May I make a suggestion? us.f352.mail.yahoo.com

jewell, I saw the offending post before it was removed. IMO, that should have been worthy of a suspension or termination if he had a history of other serious violations. Unfortunately, SI Admin has allowed the situation to get out of hand. They never had to involve themselves in the veracity of opinions on political threads. All they had to do was consistently enforce the TOU when folks crossed the line. Sooner or later those who refuse be civil would be weeded out. Instead, it is almost a free for all. That may be why they have little interest in the political threads. And it may be why they have an uncertain future. BTW, my post was tongue in cheek knowing the absurdity discussed above & the actions of those on the thread in question. Most often it infuriates me. Other times I have to laugh at it & poke a little fun at it.
